So I sent my K1000 to Fitz a little while back for a re-cable. Today upon removing the wire mesh grills Fitz discovered someone's handiwork... Nice huh? The person I bought them from mentioned that they had new drivers installed, but forgot to mention the custom port in the side of one driver! He also never mentioned they were installed by anyone other than AKG. I've looked back through PMs here and there to discover who the seller was, but sadly can't find the PMs. I also can't find the sale ad. I do remember he was a young kid from England, and it would have been around November of 2008 when I purchased them. Not that I'd get any satisfaction monetarily, but at least I could warn others here about that member. Fitz mentioned that it looks like a phillips bit may have caused the hole, and indeed it does look as though that may be the case. Two goods things though... 1) I never heard any anomilies due to the hole. 2) I sent them to Fitz! He already has some ideas as how to best repair them, and that guy is Dr. AKG for sure! So it's a bit disheartening to discover this, but I'm very greatful Fitz is on the case. I'll keep you updated.

Happy Birthday Biggie!

Happy 50th Mike!

I had meant to edit the first post, but I'm an airhead.

Atlanta must be full of them.

Two words...Sugar Daddy.

Those look like a weird interpretation of the old PolK SRA-SDS.

I think you may be unaware that Don has moved across the country from Portland, OR.

They won't last forever Colin. You just throw them around like they're endless.

Granite?

Congrat gents!

Happy Birthday!

My issue tends to be with the cost of the ebook. Why on earth should an ebook cost substantially more than an actual paper and ink copy?

I never expected to get hit on at CJ. Here I thought all my teasing about Justin being a bottom boy for sugar daddies was just a joke. Next time I'll just PM him the Tice dimensions in inches conversion in advance so he won't be so enthusiastic. And if he shows even more enthusiasm, then at least he was forewarned. Nothing a little nerve deadening cream can't fix. What was this thread about again?

Funny choice of words, but you really were quite determined to get ahold and find the exact measurement of a Tice. If I weren't so utterly distraught at the prospect of becomming an old perverted troll (like the kind that preyed on me when I was chicken), I would have taken you somewhere and let you find out for yourself. You're certainly cute enough, but I like to think I'm not that guy (at least not yet).

Billy, It just isn't right that you had to wait in line in the first place. And then to imagine that the asshole you finally talked to didn't give a damn about doing his job...wow, just fucking amazing! And I'm sure he probably promised at some point to do his job, as people were relying on him to do so. To just brush those people off like that is just unacceptable. Leading by example does give people like us at least some self satisfaction though. ...Oh wait...Uhm nevermind.

I'll send them out ASAP, as well as your CJ winnings that I keep forgetting about. Feel free to keep them for a while to fully evaluate them. And I do share my pants with girls, it's what's in my pants that doesn't get shared. I only say that because I'm sure you're more than OK with that. Now Justin (MPI) on the other hand was a bit persistant to get in there. Too bad I have these damn morals, or I'd have given in to the drunken lad.

Not arguing at all Ed, but for clarification the foam headband is now felt covered, that's why the ones at CJ looked different from the one Don posted pics of. If the HE6 sounded better to you, then by all means you bought the right one. I do sometimes think people assume we all hear the same, and that's just not the case. For me the LCD-2 sounded fantastic, probably the best headphone I've heard, and I found them pretty comfy too.

Well to my ears it was no contest, the LCD2 whiped it's ass with the HE6, HE5LE and HE5. I also didn't think the HE6 was a significant upgrade from the HE5. Tyll's measurements help to support that, but that's not saying the HE6 is a bad headphone, it most certainly isn't, but the LCD2 is THAT good. IMO the TPs bested the HE6.

Congrat gents!

Happy Birthday Scott!

Nice!!!

Wow. I've spent a lot of time right around there. One of my favorite clubs is right there, as well as the Castro Theater and Bank America where I banked. Just across Market are some Condos with a large second story balcony that some friends owned, and we'd watch all the big events from there...Halloween, parades and such. I'll want to keep up with this shooting as it unfolds. Glad you weren't hurt in any way.
