Oh god, please tell me you're not paying $80 for a 6H30? The new stock ones are just as good as the old ones. Made in the same factory and to the same specifications.

If I ever get an extra pair I will be glad to send them. Or maybe once I get my Grado's in the new year.

Again with the bipolar jokes? *sigh* I don't have the energy today. Spritzer - I think that Ray and Rudi should really be in their own group, separate from Peter. They have completely different issues...

You've got a point there, I suppose. Nah, it is safe enough now.

Lycra? Modding them shouldn't be a problem. Hook me up with your guy who knows a guy. $80 for NOS isn't bad at all. I seriously doubt that they will replace my K340's, but they could be a cool portable headphone with some mods.

Yeah, not everyone up here is completely obsessed with football and nascar.

I think that is going a little far. I'm not the only one who likes this headphone. Just because everyone on here loooves the leatherheads and a few select Grado's doesn't mean the K340's only sound good on my amp. I'm sure they would sound quite nice on that cute mosfet amp of yours as well.

Will wonders never cease?

Seriously? There is a team named that? I love it. Do the bearcat! Owwwwww!

I've been trying to get a pair for a while, they are really rare.

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys and gals. Emily got me the best headphone shirt ever, I'll have to take a picture soon. Lots of books and the soundtrack for Labrynth as well. Pretty good haul. We are going to the family [hers] for a birthday dinner tonight, should be fun.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Just toss them as soon as you can and get back on. I fell off last week for a bit, but I'm back on for my bday weekend.

Huh? If the preamp and headphone amp are seperate circuits, ok, but any amp is going to behave differently when you plug multiple things into it. For multiple headphones, it really depends on what headphones you are talking about. If you plug in two K340s, the impedance gets halved and in some cases they might even be easier to drive this way in terms of voltage. If you plug in two Grados, you are talking 16ohms... pretty low for some amps. Two headphones of different impedance are going to make volume level matching pretty tough. Now, he is driving a pair of speaker amps and a hard to drive headphone at the same time... I think it goes without saying that this will put a lot of strain on the amp. It is not surprising that the headphones sound off in this situation.

That's what it's looking like.

Oh, I'm with you there.

hehe, that was great

LOL, whatever you say Jacob. I've never made any K701-esqe comments about K340 burnin. I think that all headphones need a reasonable amount, but nothing like what RS-Audio and K701 people talk about. Fitz obviously doesn't dig the K340, either that or his absurd amp isn't driving them properly. One of the two.

It's ok, not everyone has taste.

BEEFY

That's TRS and pigtail.

I'm tempted, but I think I want to wait for Mario Kart Wii.

The 'daily' warm up could very well be this, but the longer warmup after they haven't been used for an extended period of time is clearly something else.

When I first looked at it I though, damn a 6 tube single ended amp... sweet! But then I saw the magic eye tubes, wtf? What is the point?

I wasn't really meaning 'cover your ass' in a legal sense [though I think Sennheiser would try to respond if someone made a HE90 clone] but in how their headphone is perceived.

Anyone know if there are any good racing games for the Wii yet?
