Great article, thanks for posting it. I find the new addition of the subscription popup on every single page annoying

Ouch Good looking builds KG and Birgir.

At least with my regular 404, I could only get a seal with my glasses off. The thinner Lambda pads allow less room for compression/sealing to occur (even though my frames are on the thin side).

King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black (Original EG cd) smooth sound

John Coltrane - Soultrane (OJC vinyl)

Did you read the welcome PM? Oh you just registered now.

Umm, why are you choosing to post about it here, with your first post/thread none the less? This isn't the APL support forum...

Mike knowing your specs for your power amp, speakers, DAC (or CDP), cartridge and phono would help if you are thinking about the passive route.

TVC FTW!

You're an illegal here.

What's the green fuzz looking mat on the Technics platter? It looks like you're still using the stock rubber mat on top of it?

I think those using Amarra on Mac would disagree with you. And according to Sonic Studios it is still bit perfect.

Sonny Terry - Sonny is King Fantasy 45 vinyl with the EC HD300

Just my 2c I wouldn't use the wood box as any gauge to the age or the driver version. I've owned two K1000 with natural wood box that were different inside (top lid), but they were both in the same serial number range. Using the box to determine the sound of the headphones is like using an LP jacket to determine which pressing it is (ie record companies some times just put the record in whatever jacket they had on hand at the time).

Less than the Audio Technica L3000 but more than the Audio Technica A500

The O2/KGSS is a good pairing. It is what made me build an O2 setup after hearing it at a meet.

Arnett Cobb - Sizzlin' Fantasy 45 rpm vinyl

Yeah basically.
