Iron_Dreamer Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Ahhh Jack, I recall the days of burning through headphones faster than I could find new ones to try...now it takes me at least 6 months!
postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Ahhh Jack, I recall the days of burning through headphones faster than I could find new ones to try...now it takes me at least 6 months! I have indeed been through a ton of headphones this past year. HD580 HD595 HD600 HD650 SR60 SR225 SR325i RS-1 HP-2 GS1000 KSC75 W11JPN W5000 K701 DT 990 '05 DT 770/80 Pro and now the K340. Longest lived so far is the HD650. I was telling recstar the other day that if it all blew up tomorrow, I'd start again with an HD650. and jbloudg would build me a sweet dynalo.
postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 lets see, i've purchased the HD600s, 650s and PX-200s this year. the 600s are gone, the others get used every day. i really love my 650s, they get used more than my HP-2s, to tell you the truth. I did that IC with my HP2 because my other cans were getting more head time. Then I panicked and pulled the IC. Problem is that the HP2 is still the best for hearing exactly how a recording sounds. But what happens is I listen to something with the HP2, then think "man this is a good recording, I bet it would sound sweet with the W5000/RS-1/HD650," and I switch headphones. hey, I just came up with the name for my new forum! Head-Time. www.head-time.org, "sorry about you being sorry about their thin skin"
PFKMan23 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 in te last year I haven't gone through quite as many: HD580 (went from 1 to 3 pair) CD3000 woodied with Silver Dragon cable HD595 120 ohm - umcomfortable K1000 x 2 (sold one pair). Just got the RS-1s last Friday
Iron_Dreamer Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 lol my main reason for using the HD-650s more is that i can only listen to the HP-2s for about 10 hours at a time before my ears start to hurt.. Time to put those HP2 drivers in a CD3000 body methinks!
postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Time to put those HP2 drivers in a CD3000 body methinks! hmmmmm....
PFKMan23 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 The RS-1s are ok... out of my laptop that is. The build quality really makes the HF-1 look pretty crappy. And they seem lighter to boot. I've been too lazy to turn on my tube amps and haven't really been motivated lately to do a dedicated listen. They are a bit bright though.. atleast ATM they are. I tend to get annoyed with stuff as time passes.
PFKMan23 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 yah, I could also get a new 1/4" to mini adapter as this one worries me too much.
deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 how do you like them? or have you not gotten them yet? is that jpak's stuff in the background? Yes he stole my gears!11
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 you know how we do with the recablin yall. Jpeaziggidywhack a whack got scurred away from me iron.
deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 I know The L3000 destroys the K340 in everything I tried. No point in keeping both. That project would have been fun.
deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Bah, in your system maybe. K340 apology crew enter
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 My KSC75 smokes the k340, though.
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 I'm not apologizing for anything, I just can't imagine an Audio Technica sounding better than the K340s! And correct me if I'm wrong, were you using the Melos to drive the K340s? If so, no wonder, that thing blows hard with them...
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 That's probably enough voltage swing anyways. I think you should try 220volt though, might give you a bit more bass slam!
postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 i do believe he retermed them with a three prong and stuck them in a power outlet. should drive them just fine. haha. but how do you get the music to the power outlet?
deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 I'm not apologizing for anything, I just can't imagine an Audio Technica sounding better than the K340s! And correct me if I'm wrong, were you using the Melos to drive the K340s? If so, no wonder, that thing blows hard with them... The L3000 aren't just any Audio Technica. Believe me I hate them all. (I have not heard the OOP ones like the W11jpn, W10vtg, etc, etc) Melos, maxed out M3. The M3 did a hell of a nice job driving them. They still failed when pitted against the leatherheads. Sorry it's not a custom built amp from McAlister
