How about the other K1000? Didnt you get a second pair that had the driver on the same side die?

Yeah, that's the pair with a buzzing driver. I haven't taken it apart yet to look at it.

I am really looking forward to hearing them again, there are no words to fully express my appreciation for the work done. So thanks will have to do.

Congrats on one K1000's resurrection! Once Fitz figures out the problem on the second one and you get it back, I'd be curious to hear if you notice any differences in sound between the two. I'm betting on no difference since the serial numbers are so close, but you never know.

I will do my best to post what I hear, but remember I am an "old phart" so my ears are not pristine! Also the two K1000's have S/N very close like 400 numbers apart. So unless a previous owner swapped the drivers they should sound close. Hopefully Fitz can post a picture of both drivers so we will know. Thanks again Fitz.

So I took apart the 2nd K1000 with a nasty rattling problem, and as I hoped it was the simplest problem possible: a hair had gotten onto the driver. It still needs to be stripped down and cleaned inside and out though, this K1000 is rather... gross.

Good news!

I've been in a state of bliss since resurrecting/re-casing the β22. The K1000/β22 combo is just superb!

Today I received the K1000 (first set) that Fitz resurrected. What a sound, this just about kicks the ass of every other dynamic headphone I have listened. Interestingly enough I did a side by side of the K1000 driven by a Signature 30.2 with the EF5/HE5 combo. Yeah I know different prices and types but ... Anyways the K1000 just kicked but and I almost put the EF5/HE5 out to the curb but then I remember their price differences and settle down.

Anyways, wanted to say thanks to Fitz once again for the nice work he has done and for just being a great guy. THANKS!
