padam

No, I am sure the left driver is the source of this noise, I checked it with the earpads removed as well and it is somewhere down, near the cable connection. Sometimes it goes away but sometimes in some tracks it reaches audible levels so it can become rather annonying. Other issue I recently found is channel imbalance but I need to check it with the E/90 as well to be 100% sure. Sometime in the future it will be sent to KOSS but as I recently learned, from the EU it can be tricky so I might organize a loan with somebody here who is interested in hearing it, hoping that in the end I will get a new set back

Okay after a few days I discovered that the dustcover (shall I call it like that?) noise is actually coming from the left driver. It is a barely audible popping noise (sometimes fast sometimes slow) and it comes from near the cable connection and that is transformed to the dustcover. This is with zero volume and no source connected. Not enough yet to bother with removing the cable and sending it back to the USA but a little worrying.

I fiddled a bit with the fit and now it is much better. The bass is significantly more than with the LNS and the soundstage is a bit smaller but overall it is more enjoyable(need to hear it with a better source, though). Now I just need to hear from somebody who had no trouble with validating the warranty outside the US and nothing more to worry about

I don't, but it is too extended in terms of width

Got mine today (APS modded and recabled). Sounds damn nice out of the y1 and T1S (haven't tried with the E/90 cause it is not set to EU voltage) but I guess with the Pico it will be better (I will compare the two). Only trouble is, when I move my head, it is a bit noisy, maybe because the the fit is not optimal for my big ears. I had some issues with the LNS as well (with old pads) but not with the almost brand new SR-404 that I listened to a while ago.

I had this curiosity so I thought I ask: after all these mods, will it sound like a LNS which you described as a bit boring?

KOSS ESP/950 with Stax cable

I sold the GLite and next week I will have a chance to audition the HD800. Damn...

SR-SC1 Airbow set on a Japanese auction: Translated version of http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f79079105

I guess it comes with the SRS-2020. Pricey, but it's probably the best, period.

Happy Birthday!

Yes, but voltage is not the only thing which counts, for example the older SRM-T1 uses better parts than the SRM-006t so the new one is actually worse.

Happy birthday!

Good job I have an animal avatar, might be good for the future (just kidding) Glorious collection, especially in the left and the middle.

Tried the Gamma-1 with MSI Wind and it was crackling badly, I guess something with USB power wasn't quite right. No problem with other notebooks. Maybe they aren't as ideal for the job as I had first thought?

One binaural CD (free link on to the right, hope it works): part1 part2 part3

Kevin Gilmore has/had a portable O2 rig I think

Happy Birthday!

Th current lineup has the SR-404 but I didn't prefer it to the predecessor, the Lambda Nova Signature. But it might still be better than the Lambda Pro.

Why don't you just give those drivers to me?

Welcome to Head-Case. Q1: fix Q2: SR-007 (or something from the Lambda family, but the opinions are different which is the best)

Thank you guys, it was certainly a surprise for me

Another K1K popped up on a local auction site. The Hungarian Forint is still ludicrously weak so it is no more than 500 EUR (or 630 USD). The serial number is 09145. Damn, I need to sell something...

Happy birthday, man!

Ok, I'm a but confused now... But you own an AE-2 and not a Pico, it does mean something, isn't it?
