  1. Good move. You would have found that it's not really possible. Amplifiers are designed with very specific target parameters. This is especially true of vintage equipment and specialty equipment. Strapping something on with a vastly different impedance plot, and thereby vastly different TS parameters is asking these amplifiers to do something they aren't designed to do. In many if not all cases you end up with a distortion FFT that looks like a RSA amplifier and discriminates against no distortion order. I think the K1000 seem to favor a small, class A solid state amplifier. I'm not sure how these high impedance cans can really be "current hungry" or need insane wattage....those are just myths that are perpetuated without any basis. Many headphone amps run out of voltage swing with the AKG, for example amps made for lower impedance loads... I think people get this backwards and reuse the mythical "current hungry" phrase that seems to describe the inexplicable need for a bigger amp. Regardless, they are unique and fun headphones. Enjoy!
  2. Wouldn't that imply that the K1000 is a poor choice, given the notch filter that they employ?
  3. I think it's rather interesting to note who hasn't posted in this thread...
  4. Vitamin Water and Z-Pak.
  5. Shelly, Creme de menthe is on my list. Is the light or dark version more versatile for cocktails? I notice that Marie Brizard has both... Not that I can get it here anyways...
  6. Jim, what other books do you have, and how would you rate the various books?
  7. Nice! I had good times there
  8. King Cole Cocktail (Savoy) 1 Glass Rye or Canadian Club Whisky. (2 oz Bonded Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey) 2 Dashes Syrup. (1 sugar cube) 1 Dash Fernet Branca. 1 Lump of Ice. Muddle cube and Fernet. Stir well.
  9. Fernet Branca Cocktail (Savoy) 1.5 oz dry gin 0.75 oz Italian vermouth 0.75 oz Fernet Branca Stir and strain!
  10. excellent second post!
  11. nope, getting frustrated. I need to "extend" the walls up a bit, say 1/4" or so.... how it stands now the driver frame won't fit in the throat Not sure if I'll have to resize the bending birch pieces or not. Also, I'm pretty sure the top is not cut right, I think we're off by a blade kerf on one side. Fortunately, I can cut this with my saw. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have any pieces left that are big enough. So, yeah. I've decided to wait until later to address this, and start on the second speaker box
  12. Why didn't you tell me before you sold them to me? :)
  13. Campari and Soda 2 oz Campari 4 oz San Pelligrino Ice Yay!
  14. I just made that up, sorry if I implied otherwise It's yummy though!
  15. Irish Liberal 1.5 oz Irish whiskey 0.5 oz Punt e Mes 0.25 oz Amer Picon 2 dashes Reagans orange bitters 1 dash Fees orange bitters Stir!
  16. Half a one of those!
  17. I really like S&C. Try it in an old-fashioned, once you get used to it, it's a very complex rum and goes perfect here.
  18. Just finished my second batch of maraschino cherries!
  19. Head-Case Cocktail Dash of each. Shake and garnish with fruit in season.
  20. K1000 and Senns I believe
