Joe is awesome! I want the upgrade too, but the price is a bit much. So, I'll just take his attitude about it, "'c'est la vie, whaddya gonna do?", and enjoy the HP-2 the way that it is for the foreseeable future.

Welcome Todd and good luck with the amp/pre launch

Congrats to Boston!

Happy Birthday!

The K-1000s are my favorite headphone. I prefer them to all the top tier phones including the R10s, Qualias and HE-90s (haven't heard the LCD-2 yet). They are the closest thing to an uncolored stethoscope to the recording and system for better or worse. So, you should hear the K-1000s with a proper amp before making any hasty decisions. Like swt61, I feel they cover all music well if they do it for you. However, if the O2s bring you to bliss instead and you're looking for something as a secondary or different flavor, why not sell the K1ks+amp and go for the R10s. Don't bother with the Qualias unless you have tough ears IMO. Bliss + R10 is not the worst way to live.

Thanks all! Much appreciated

Nice!

Agreed. Mine died too awhile back. This thread is making me want to send them in for repair.

Open a lemonade stand.

I used the Dyna 20x for several months before I mashed it like an idiot one night, but it turned out to be a good thing. It forced me to upgraded to the Karat 17D2. The Dyna Karat is the polar opposite of the 20X which was more lush and kind of veiled. The Karat is all about speed, detail and dynamics. When my 17D2 wore out I figured I'd change it up and go with something else. After several auditions with various carts, that didn't happen. I ended up with the 17D3. Just wanted to put it back on your radar YMMV (link)
