Omega 2 vs K1000 shootout

[swt61]

I've all my wisdom teeth,

two up top

and two beneath.

And yet I recognise,

my mouth says things

That aren't so wise.

I'm having my two bottom wisdom teeth pulled on the 26th.

I'm pretty sure my Dentist had sex with me when he pulled my wisdom teeth out.

I say that because he forgot that he'd only given me Novocaine, so I was wide awake.

Still he had a gentle touch, and did this thing with his middle finger...

Well anyway, I let it pass without incident.

My dentist is a quite hot lady. So bring it on.

did it hurt?

[swt61]

did it hurt?

No, I told you he used Novocaine. I was a bit confused at first about the shot being in my ass, but soon everything became crystal clear.

I figured he used novocaine on your mouth not your @nus.

I feel so guilty buying a dynamic after exercising abstinence for so long. I hope my middling serial number (~7000) has lots of bass because I'm going to listen to trance mp3s through them, with the aid of stacked power conditioners and ERS paper.

Could someone remind me what the PCB was used for and what effect it had on the sound?

[Dusty Chalk]

I think it's just an EQ. You know, like a crossover, except it's not helping the transition between drivers, it's only accomodating for the difference between driver and "flat".

[mypasswordis]

Oh okay, thanks. Then that means changing the values can alter the frequency response of the drivers, if I ever were to get that fiddly. The graph in the manual says frequency response is completely flat +-2dB from 50Hz to 20kHz and only 4dB down at 40Hz but I don't know if this is with a bass heavy or bass light or other version.

[cetoole]

I think it is just a notch filter, so I wouldnt go playing with it. A notch in the wrong place doesnt sound like something I would care for.

I want to do a shootout between Ergo AMT, SR-007 and K1000 All I need to do is buy K1000 for cheap somewhere

[mypasswordis]

Yeah, notch filters shouldn't be messed around with. Makes me wonder why some people thought removing them made it sound better.

You have an Ergo AMT? Cooooool. If you don't find one for cheap I can try to bring my Jecklin 'stats and K1000 up to NYC for comparison with your Ergo AMT and Sigma for an ultimate soundstage/Sturzhelm/craziness shootout if you're willing to host.

By that time I will probably already have met up with Colin for an O2/K1K comparison so that will be old news.

[Dusty Chalk]

Makes me wonder why some people thought removing them made it sound better.

Well, fewer components in the signal path would be the theoretical reason why they would think it would sound better. Maybe "frequency response" isn't a high priority with them.

Stax wins. Save yourself the time and money.

I'd love to move forward on my re-housing the AMT drivers. Still waiting for a 4070 headband.

I measured with and without it at some point on two different versions of K1000, from what I remember removing it had the same effect on both and just bumped up the upper midrange & treble a few dB. I don't know if I saved any of those measurements or not... I'll see if I can find them.

[mypasswordis]

Well, fewer components in the signal path would be the theoretical reason why they would think it would sound better. Maybe "frequency response" isn't a high priority with them.

Maybe, though I never understood why anyone would want anything other than flat. As soon as a headphone is out of my tolerances in terms of deviations from flat frequency response I immediately stop caring about it (unless it's moddable like orthos). And if it's something I own, I sell it.

Stax wins. Save yourself the time and money.

Given how much he likes the SR-007 you are probably right.

Edit:

Thanks Fitz.

[faust3d]

Given how much he likes the SR-007 you are probably right.

I heard K1000 several times, I was not impressed at all I want, and will hear, Ergo AMT and I do like SR-007. Still a shootout would be nice, the fun in the process not the final result.

Duggeh, when you get that 4070 headband, could you please post pics of it?

[Duggeh]

Sure.

[John Buchanan]

I kinda wanted to see if it was usable on a Sigma - the dimensions seem right

TIA Duggeh - what's the weather like over there? 40C here yesterday - had a lovely day down by the marina chatting to a lovely woman most of the afternoon. All good.
