sorry, missed it.
GTFO you are no OG
no, don't claim to be. just enquiring
-
what game is this?
judging by the fact that you're levelling up, i guess it's not counter-strike
-
wow I didn't think people still existed that thought it was round

here's the ad on youtube:

AKG K701 takes centre stage as well as some other vinyl and misc audio gear
-
yes, I sometimes wonder when people claim their equipment goes through ups and downs during so called break-in periods
whether or not they just woke up, or just had a meal or a strong coffee or something or other, i mean break in if it were real would be a linear process right?
-
Sorry about your thin skin
-
really? never heard of them having 2 disks
i have some spare ones at home, i might put 2 in just to see what it sounds like
mine's got only 1 and it's serial 4885
-
and probably attributed to pads softening up and/or ears acclimatising
i do quite like the K701s though. maybe I haven't heard better but yeah.
-
Mine has arrived but is stuck with customs. I should get it soon though.
are they trying to calculate the duties they will charge you?
-
Yeah, I think that's what he meant, he was just phrasing it badly. I mean, obviously he didn't mean that "...you're not actually supposed to use the battery power...", ever, even though that's exactly what he said.
make makes much more sense, thank you.
but it's not like you can choose when the power cuts out, or when the battery kicks in for that matter hence the original question...
-
here's my original question:
someone once told me that most common UPS as those used for PCs are no good for audio gear because instead of a nice round sine wave, when they kick in on their battery they output a square wave that is no good for audio equipment
can anyone confirm this?
It was answered and I was perfectly happy. I was then quoted and received this answer
You're not actually supposed to use the battery power...It's there so you can turn off your PC normally, instead of it just flipping off (which can lead to nasty things).
which is fine, but I'm still fairly sure that the batteries in UPSs kick in as soon as power is cut to it.
No, that's right, I'm not sure what issue DC has with your statement, I wish he would be more specific.
now specified
I think he's being an asshat just for the sake of it.
Please read the following important public announcement:

nope, definitely not

change of forum, change of heart?

I seriously think I love this place. That post would never fly at the other place.
it's an S2 audio first, we don't even need to do DBT to know it's true!
-
your previous comment still doesn't make any sense
-
haha, thats good.. Ken from ALO put up with my 50+ something emails regarding some splitters. I'm very fickle.
not really something worth boasting about...
-
God damn it, I may just have to scratch up some funds and have Steve make me a stand. Those just look too nice.
Remember to ask about the cryo wood treatment, they make the best sounding headphone stands.
-
Kryo treatment makes everything better though so it's ok
-
Ah, LOL
Back in blighty I had a gay colleague who remarked to me that when I got narked with our supervisor I should not have said that I was going to fist him. As you might guess I am not terribly hip to alternative cultural references, well I was born in the 50s see.
HAHAH very bad choice of words
-
You're not actually supposed to use the battery power...It's there so you can turn off your PC normally, instead of it just flipping off (which can lead to nasty things).
err... i'm pretty sure the battery is there so that if power to your house cuts out it fills in until powers comes back or gives your system time to safely shut down.
-
classic!

Nenso ey,
more like nonsense
-
Spend a few days with Nenso in Japan!!.. FRUSTRATING AS BLOODY HELL.
fixed that for you
-
unnecessarily dramatic - has been covered but although you may lose some sleep over this you will survive, i assure you.
there are boundaries for a reason - it's not as if they thought "hmmm we don't like <18 y.o. let's exclude them"
-
You might be able to claim that as an S2 audio first
AKG K701 Foam pads
in Headphones
Posted
Well I added my spare foam disks on to my K701s
First thing to mention is that I doubt that AKG included 2 x foam disks with early K701 and if they did they wouldn't have been the same thickness as the current disks because when installed it has this wierd looking bulge that sticks out and begins to touch my ears.
Sound wise it's not much different. I actually expected more of a difference considering my experiments with the K501 and the K701 without disks but the sound changes ever so slightly for the worse. Bass impact and quantity are decreased, ever so slightly and mids/highs become a little less pronounced and muffled. Differences are very slight however.
