Got mine back yesterday, with freshly installed Suck-it-ALO cable (extensively re-worked by Fitz to mate with the K1000). I didn't realise how much I missed it. Regular headphones just can't give me the psuedo speaker soundstage and imaging that the K1000 provides. I doubt I could ever be fully happy with headphones that envelop the ear again. At least not for my main phones.
He had to re-work them to lengthen the Y and make the wire casing thin enough for the K1000 wire boots.
