Naw, cotton comes in rolls from egypt. They have factories there or something. Pick it, as in select it :)

Ah! That's what I thought. Cause when I see cotton it's always in rolls or balls, thus I thought it's just like polyester or nylon where they make it in a factory somewhere. Good to see I'm not mistaken in my beliefs. :)

it grows on plants. ;) i'm guessing you never studied the American Civil War...

What??!! You mean Grawk wasn't telling me the whole truth?

And no, I can't say I've studied the American civil war, as I'm not American, but I do know a little bit about it.

You better be joking bitch.. :P

Biggie.

The K340 is much faster then the HD650, and its midrange is richer and more alive.

Damn straight! :D

I'd agree with that sentiment. Now sell your 650, and buy a new source and a L3K. Then sell the 340, RS-1, and w5k.

They still arn't that fast. :P

Biggie.

maybe not RS-1 fast. ;D

I reterminated my 340s last night to try and fix some of the butchery that was done by the previous modder who saw fit to terminate them with an 1/8" plug. Turns our they are wired with stranded silver, yikes that couldn't have been a cheap cable even though it looks like poop.

Reuse the wire bitch! :D

Not sure if I can, it's a pretty short cable (6') and hellaciously microphonic. I'd like to dope slap whoever built it.

For now it stays on the cans since I don't have time to deal with it properly. If it comes off I'll make 20 $200 mini-minis from it and retire rnB style! 8)

lol, well you can use it for wiring an amp or making some IC's I guess. :)

Anyone tried the K340 with velour pads?

I have velour pads on my modded pair. They are much more comfy and offer a better seal, but these things leak more than any closed headphone I know.

Thanks for the impressions. Anybody know where to buy some velour pads?

It's a pain in the ass since the AKG rep is so hard to get ahold of. I don't have the info since I always get swt61 to place my orders, but I'm sure someone in here does. Might be worth your while to order a K501 headband as well, they look and feel a lot nicer IMO. :)

They are AKG part # 2955Z2601 and can be bought for around $13 each (don't remember exactly).

I left a couple phone messages and got not response. I finally faxed a request, and he called me right back. I had the pads about two weeks later. I don't know if anyone has an email address. I never did.

I found the velour pads stiffer and less comfortable myself.

ZOMG TEH KIRBSTER.

Despite xand1x's attempts to keep me away in the past with his extreme hate, I've decided to pop on over here too. ;D
