  1. Another one here because Head-Fi is down. Hard to break a habit like that. But it does force us to find other forums such as this. aka-Happy Camper

    Not much of a fan of the music selection but the hdk2 makes a big difference from redbook. http://www.fimpression.com/fim_news.htm Go to the bottom of the page and play the sample. I got this cd and am a firm believer of the technology. I compared with SACD and heard no difference.
  3. You kidding, he would get a treat. Good boy. No scoldings. I just have to make sure he gets no access to a new cable. Being that the k701s are so forward, a tube amp will round off the digital harshness and add warmth to the lean presentation. No knock to a SS amp, they are great for Senns, they add a forward presentation. Of course, this is just my opinion.

  5. I asked AKG about the 701 pads. They suggest hand washing with liquid soap and warm water. Rinse by squeezing (gently) in clean water and letting them air dry. Another method would be to run them in your dishwasher, squeeze & air dry.
  6. Is it bad of me to let the dog damage the stock cable to sneak in a Jena or RAL cable?
  7. How much you willing to spend? A sp extreme can drive anything in the dynamic range. I'm driving them with a Platinum w/bg output caps using a Raytheon 6414 gain and RCA 6880s.
