CC,
Now its time to improve upon the signal going into the K501! Funny, I've come back around--in a big way--to the K501, too, and have currently picked up another pair (actually my third over the past 6 years) of HD600 (w/Cardas cable). I find myself reaching for the K501 nine out of ten times, and only then to show me what I was just missing with the HD600. : )

anywhere the k501s could be had for a good price?

Out of production so your best option is the for sale forum here. They show up regularly.

Me, too. But be forewarned: by the time you add his excessive shipping and handling fees, expect to pay around $200 USD. A while back, I left him a neutral feedback due to the stilted shipping/handling charges, and he answered back with a negative feedback for me (although, eBay sellers are no longer allowed to post negative feedback now).

I asked this a couple of times but didn't get any reply.

My "K501" sticker on both sides of the ear cup seems to be falling off right when I got them, I have to keep sticking them in place. Any of you experienced the same? Sometimes I wonder if mine is fake

, though it sounds great.

It happens to one of my pairs. I don't know how to fix it to be honest, I just restick it back.

Thanks, I can sleep better now.

NB,
My stickers were peeling off from the moment the K501 arrived brand new. Why AKG couldn't have made them a little heavier, and used better glue to adhere them, I don't understand.

They definitely could have made them heavier and used stronger adhesive, since that's just what they did on the K400/K500 labels. Go figure.

no, mate...it's not fake, my pair got the same things too...i'm looking what's inside, i have found a screwdriver behind the K-501 sticker...

and absolutely agree with your statement there, our K501 are sounds great...i wonder how good K400 comparing to K501...

waiting in vain until my K501 arrives.. looking forward to some audio bliss

Found a nice tube compliment for the Darkvoice 337 (2x Kuhltube CAC-6SJ7WGT and 2x Mullard 6080) that suits the K501 quite well. Put on the Hayley Westenra "Live" DVD. Wow! Vocals are so intact with the AKGs, simply captivating! : )
