Glad you're loving it Miguel. It's still my favorite headphone to date, and I doubt that'll change anytime soon.

I'll be interested to see what you think after spending some time with it, before I make the same decision myself.

Good news! I've been in a state of bliss since resurrecting/re-casing the β22. The K1000/β22 combo is just superb!

What kind?

Who gives a fuck if it's Klingon, it's still a stupid name for a headphone.

Not sure about that shell connection.

No, I didn't try it. Not quite sure why, just didn't get around to it. You may also have a point. I would set the gain high though. Let us know how well it does once you get it finished.

Huh? The same JFET amp he had at the meet? I don't think it's gonna drive the K1000, it stumbled on his LCD-1 at a decent volume, of coarse I have no idea what the gain was set at. Sounded great with easier loads though. Yeah, no problem on the K340, it's a quick and dirty mod. 4 pin works best for me.

I wouldn't fuck with her. Bitch has got some pretty big biceps!

If you ever want to experiment with different amplification, I have a Consonance integrated that does a pretty decent job of driving the K1000. I like the Beta22 better, but it's not half bad. I can afford to live without it for a while, if you'd like to borrow it.

Mine are socketed as well. It's as simple as bending the leads and pluggin' 'em in the holes.

Wow! That's really beautiful!

Mine are Black box, #06713, however mine had both drivers replaced just before I bought them, so they have the more tilted treble. That would be my preference anyway. And as I have now heard the other version I can agree that the differences are noticeable, yet far from drastic. And I also agree that both sound like a K1000. I also agree that amp/DAC changes will play a larger role in tuning to your taste. I think you may have taken my recent reply to HPA too seriously Justin.

I'm going to agree, except to qualify that it reaches well beyond decent. A true audio bargain.

Congrats!

That's a lot of vehicles to have owned. You're obviously older than your pics make you out to look.

Nice Dinny!

Dude, can you back off a bit. Your mustache reeks!

Nice find Steve! Enjoy!

Talk about an adrenaline rush! The way he had to slow for the bike/scooter at the end of the tunnel was cool too.

Point taken. The WA5LE was also superb with the K1000, although ultimately not powerful enough. But I hear the WA5 has more grunt.

Corral the women and bar the doors!

Sorry to hear that Reks. Hope it's gone soon.

Just a quick peak into your mind would be all I could stand Reks. And I mean that in the best possible way!
