Yep that's right. I'll give them a good spin on the B22.

I have no doubt that I will have heard and owned better (and will be owning better ). But the inner AKG fanboy in me wouldn't let me say no. And I'm always looking for a "neutral" budget headphone. If it wasn't for the bass issues with the K501, I really like them. More than the K701. I've heard modded and recabled K340s. Still not that great, but I'm too damn picky. Ewww I'll have to disagree with that one. I have doubts that an amp from the Gods could make those headphones anything other than pretty to look at.

Don't you own Darth Beyers?

I owned two versions of the K340 I didn't think they were that great after using them for a while. I believe Fitz and a few others prefer the Sextett to them as well. Hopefully I'll like them more than my Senns. And if I end up liking the Sextetts I have a nice ballsy amp in mind that will have no problem with 600 ohms

Yeah I was doomed to end up getting a pair even though I told myself the same thing. And this way I get them from a Head-Caser and avoid Ebay.

But it's AKG (I'd be lieing if I said I wasn't interested in them when the foty thing started)! At worst I won't like them and I'll get back my money.

Yup Jay. Hopefully we can work on it together. It started off as researching a KGSS (which I thought sounded dynamite with the SR-007), then I figured might as well forgo upgraditis and go for the dream amp. Plus I <3 big tubes. spritzer, luvdunhill, pabbi and naamanf have all been a huge help so far.

Going big or going home! The American way!

Maybe someone will loan me an SR-404 when my Blue Hawaii is done x2 But something tells me the amp is going to be brutal and will slaughter the poor SR-404 >

I had an SRM-313 with my SR-404 which might not have been the best amp for them (minya who stopped posting on Headfi told me his KGSS improved the SR-404, but he liked the SRM313/SR-404 so who knows). But I really didn't like the upper midrange emphasis on them. And I didn't think they were very tonally accurate. Also the presentation was just front to back, no depth or layering to the sound. I can accept that though, not a big deal given their cost. Which is why I'm not too enthusiastic about the 4070, but I'd certainly like to hear them. I wouldn't be going out of my way to hear them given how much I like the SR-007.

If the newer Lambdas are anything like the SR-404 then I'd say the price of admission to get good Stax sound comes from the vintage line. The SR-404 is just bad.

Cool, looking forward to your thoughts on the ESP950 (recabled with Stax cable?).

MGS4 is set for June 17, so that sounds right.

Nice, dew eet Haj!

It is a problem. aardvark sandwich seems to have solved it by buying them all

Sorry about that Drew

The burn in on Ultrasones is the most obnoxious. Give them 700 hours I swear they won't sound like bass and treble monsters, midrange ?

Welcome back Mike

Write a letter to your congressman, he might actually give a shit.

I liked the MGS2 ending as well; but I didn't read into it too much. And it seems MGS4 should give us more of a run down on the Patriots. MGS3 explained it pretty well too.
