You wanna know what? Best mod for K81DJ. Remove the stupid insert. I'm a little drunk, so sorry if this isnt making sense, but the pads have a speaker cloth like overlay that covers the driver. There is also a more foam like insert that you can pull out without even taking the pads off. Just stick your finger in there and feel around. Pull that out and see what you think. Renato [looser101] was over tonight and we figured this out. After removing that thingy from each earpiece it sounds awesome. Way more AKG like. Almost like a little portable K340. And so easy to do. Try it and report back.

I don't know about that... The details certainly are not washed out on my pair.

Sealing it doesnt increase resonance in my experience. It just improves imaging/soundstage slightly and adds a touch more bass. Rescreening adds a lot of clarity and makes the sound more coherant I think... might be a little more treble, but nothing that bothered me. You might want to ask aerius as well since he knows better what all the mods do individually. Or just ask Larry. He has redone enough of them. I personally would get them both done. The sealing is reversable... and the rescreening is relatively without risk. Improves comfort for me as well.

I can't believe you started AND finished a sentence with 'at times' in your sig. You are classic Mark, never change.

Yo mama so nasty she has to creep up on bathwater!

Who you callin' fruit, fruit!?

GET USED TO THE BAGELS YOU FRUIT!!!

Every time I read that acronym it comes out as "I'm a ho"

I don't know... that is what I heard the GS1000's on at the National, and it sounded alright.

hehehe... cant wait to hear what you think of them.

You know... Tyll doesn't like the way they sound... just putting that out there. *ducks and hides* Sorry, I had to after reading the MM thread.

Suuure.

Oh, I am using the USB to PS2 adapter right now... maybe I should try straight USB?

lol, the damn POS was really pissing me off. I don't know what I am doing wrong, the Wife says she has had zero issues with it.

Hungry - Thanks man, you are a real pal. Reks - Did you actually read all the literature on their site? They seem knowledgable and surprisingly grounded for a hifi audio company. I wouldn't write off a company because they typed an 'i' instead of a 'y'.

This mother of tone stuff looks cool as well... someone linked it in head-fi recently. I've also been considering that 2K DIY amp that was posted a while back... I'll see if I can find the link. It is completely different in design from the lessloss. More of a crazy overdone bruteforce approach as compared to lessloss' rather simple design.

Ummm, that's a computer Eaphan... Anyways... if I do get the lessloss, it will be a custom implementation with headphone xlr connectors on the front of the unit, their volume control, and hopefully two digital inputs on the back so that I can slave both my eastsound and my squeezebox to it. [my FLAC ripper also happens to have most of the qualities that $10k doohickey you linked has ] EDIT: And aren't Delta Sigma DAC's considered sort of icky?

Ok, Had some computer issues recently and was forced to rebuild my computer. I've have one of those Logitech Laser mouse thingies... something 1000. Downloaded the drivers and it installs setpoint. The damn thing is acting so twitchy... should I just uninstall setpoint? Will all the fancy extra buttons that I dont really use still work? dammmmmmnnnnnnnn yoooooouuuuuuu Logitech!!!!

Hey guys, Recently I have been considering this... www.lessloss.com ...as a replacement for my Lavry. Any thoughts? I am undecided right now, mainly due to the cost. - Jay

I agree it is pretty funny... but have you heard the HF-1s? I would hardly describe them that way. They kill the SR225 IMO and are closer to a "cheapass looking RS2" in my opinion.

I couldnt agree more. This would be part of the reason that my K340's have had somewhere in the neighborhood of $500-$1000 put into them. As for the measurements - Never been a big fan of frequency response graphs. It would be interesting though. Would be neat to measure a few pairs as they all seem to sound a little different.

Removal of the cotton and taping up the wire input 'holes' might fix that for you... and a recable and circuit board bypass for the dynamic driver just makes them sound better all around. Come on, you know you want to.

Or you can go the crazy route like i did and file little channels into the plastic piece that the original elastic is attached to so that you can crazy glue in the new elastic. Here are some pics that might help you replace yours. You don't *need* to keep the plastic piece as I did, but it makes it fit better and allows you to size the elastic perfectly. http://home.cogeco.ca/~philodox/K340/new/ There are some pics showing the replacement of the headband and some finished shots as well, enjoy. PS. Did you see my new headphone stand that swt63 made me?

Yep, seal is key with the K340... replace the elastics if they don't hug your head with enough tension. Those velour pads will help as well. Stretch them first though, they are a pain to get on.
