postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Out of postjacks Dynahi I am predicting that the VTGs will be the ones covered in shit... assuming his pair are the 'middle ground' version. I'm interested in seeing what he thinks of them in relation to the rest of his lineup. Sure, I'll definitely post impressions possibly this weekend after a bit of listening. I'm pretty excited to hear these oft-debated cans. If the sound signature is appealing to me, I might send them to Larry. i've always wanted a headphiled can, but I don't like the dt770 and the sen mods always came across as weird to me.

deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 btw jpak if I don't get my k340 today i'm leaving you very negative feedback everywhere I can. Google maps: 1,481 mi ? about 23 hours 28 mins Don't worry you'll get them before Headfest Alabama.
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 23 hours? Shit you could have driven them there. No excuse. Jack, unleash the jpak bashing wombats. Attack!

JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 All you needed to do was make a phone call. ROAD TRIP!!! But since you didn't. Wombat time.
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 How can you argue that, when you admit you have never heard a pair?I didn't argue anything, I predicted.
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 I didn't argue anything, I predicted. Mine look better too
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 I like them both for looks, very different looking though IMO.
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 The 340 looks like what is isL a piece of plastic from the 70's.
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 The Audio Technicas aren't plastic? Also, I was referring to the looks of MY pair versus the VTGs.
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 htey have wood in them. and their housing are ACTUALLY wood. that makes you the ricer of headphones.
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Well, if Steve or Larry ever figure out how to do a full wood conversion mod for the K340's at under $1K, I'll be all over that. Until then I will just have to be happy with what I've got. Yours do have a true wood housing, which is nice, but whats with only one driver per housing? Mine has two, plus all the passives. Everyone knows that more is better!
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Posted August 14, 2007 You have more drivers to make up for the lack of inches in your manhood. Also you need NOS.
philodox Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Well, I don't even drive a car, so I've got to have something!
n_maher Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 Yes I have a bass heavy version left. That might be for sale. I've really hit my groove with the L3000 and K1000.I guess you really didn't want to sell me a pair?
deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 I guess you really didn't want to sell me a pair? Up until Sunday night I was certain I was keeping a K340. You can ask JBLoudG20- we exchanged a bunch of PMs where I even wanted to recable them. Then I spent all Sunday evening/night comparing them with my current headphones and decided there wasn't any point in having them. I never had the intention of cutting you out of a sale, I offered them to you for less than what I sold them for. If this is unlogical let me know. edit: I should add that since getting my L3000 I didn't listen to the K340s at any point other than two days ago. I really thought they would have held up better (which was my logic in waiting to sell them).
deepak Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 "I'll be perfectly honest, at that price they would have to be pretty pristine. I'm not saying that they aren't, only that that would be my expectation. If they are, just shoot me a couple of pictures if you can. " The other thing- both of them aren't in pristine condition. Perhaps I made too many assumptions on my part.

postjack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 basically so long as the k340 sounds like you combine a grado and sennheiser i'll be happy with them.
n_maher Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 basically so long as the k340 sounds like you combine a grado and sennheiser i'll be happy with them. I think with some mild tweaking you might be able to achieve that result. I've been getting pretty interesting results with my 340s and the Wheatfield. I'm very much looking forward to hearing them balanced out of the Beta22 whenever I get around to building that.
Salt Peanuts Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 I'm very much looking forward to hearing them balanced out of the Beta22 whenever I get around to building that. Which you really should do within the next 12 days so I can hear it.
Dusty Chalk Posted August 14, 2007 Report Posted August 14, 2007 basically so long as the k340 sounds like you combine a grado and sennheiser i'll be happy with them. That sounds...vomitory...what if it sounds better than either, and yet different from both, and still having its own weaknesses? And I should mention that I'm speaking in the abstract, I don't have anything specific in mind when talking about "it".
