A page back someone posted about the lepai 2020. I actually heard about this speaker amp from headfi via a speaker tap thread. I purchased the same model as posted for 25+shipping. I used my hifiman HE-4 via speaker taps with them to great success. It beat the dynamics of my lyr with nos 1972 Tesla tubes but it was not as good overall. To me it will give you the sense of how they can sound with a lot of power but don't expect the world from a sub 30 amp. But the he-4 with the lepai to me was more enjoyable than with the lyr but both lacked in different areas. I moved on to a better speaker amp via speaker taps.

  Westone 3 down to 159.99 at buydig. Take off another 20 dollars when you checkout with V.me. Use promo VMEBUYDIG
 
Total: 139.99
 
 
http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=WST79281

Tried the VMEBUYDIG promo code and the page just times out rather than showing a discount. I did see the V.me checkout option at the bottom, do I need to sign up for a service and give them my CC info to use the discount code?

  For those who aren't Tyll, the AKG K812's are in stock now at RazorDog Audio for the amazing price of $1,399 with coupon code RAZORDOG100...

 
Haha has Tyll already heard them and he isn't impressed or what?

  Can someone give me some suggestion? I've got a deal on HD600 open box for $270 + tax and free shipping. Idk if it's a good deal or not. Can anyone help me out with this? 


Yes--assuming they are "like new", as an open box pair should be.  The cheapest price for new of which I am aware is for $310 shipped in the U.S.

He says he won't even be reviewing them...
 
 
   
I'm no so sure.
 
AKG K812 measurements.
 
AKG K701 Measurements 
 
Transient response is very tizzy on the 812. 
 
I don't think I'll be reviewing them...just not good enough, don't want to bash AKG though.
 

 
Here's the link to the thread:

But I don't know if I'd take that too seriously. I've been a fan of AKG headphones for a while so I'd like to give them a listen and form my own opinion... Now if I just had $1400 to spend

that is sucha joke. he's reviewed a lot of other sub-par headphones. to dismiss headphones based on a FR graph is silly b/c a FR graph alone doesn't tell the whole story.
