All about Cans!

Those might be a little more difficult to source replacement parts for, Miles. But, it will be certainly nice to see them restored by you. Don't forget to combine the SE L 40s with your Pioneer SX-424 receiver for a neat retro picture.

Nando.

This weekend the Pioneer SE-L 40's arrived, which were given to me:

It's clear these can's will need a lot more attention than all the AKG's I did.......

There's no hurry, so let's start to look out for the missing and worn out parts of it.

A wee bit rougher than mine..

A quote from the article in question:

"Tune up … using good-quality headphones is a wise move regarding hearing health, as is a dose of common sense and low volume..."



Amen.

 

[Dazen1]

And apples.

Don't forget the apples.

Today's the day for the release. $80 for that deluxe package is BS though ...

Agreed

 

[Master Tasuke]

PIONEER SE-305 (1972) (picked them up NOS for like $60shipped some years back))

So I just listened to the Spoonman link in the article, on my Sony phones. I can honestly say I didnt find it all that interesting. Sounded like Spoonman to me. Maybe I need to get some Beats to really enjoy it.

Is this just a marketing ploy? Apparently you can get true 11.1 sound on "ANY" phones. Does that seem right? It would be interesting to hear from someone with a real surround setup and their thoughts on this 11.1.

 

[Miracle Mile]

At least... A Classic!

This one was missing in my AKG collection:

The MKI 600 Ohm version of the AKG K240 Monitor series, and the same one Nando has.

Will pick it up tomorrow.

 

[marcok]

I too have the Akg 240 Studio monitor : simply natural .
Besides I have a Koss ESP9 ( electrostatic ) : superb but heavy .
I use an another integraded amp ( Pioneer A 207 R ) connected to C4000 to drive them .
Ciao

Sippy-C-cups, jugs, cans...It's not quite what you were expecting, Tony.

What does 11.1 have to do with HEADPHONES anyway? Are there little bitty ants in slave labor putting 12 drivers in each cup?

 

[Miracle Mile]

Sippy-C-cups, jugs, cans...It's not quite what you were expecting, Tony.

Nando.

Yep, sometimes it can be quite confusing....

 

[Elite-ist]

Good save, Miles. That's more like what Tony gets his inspiration from: cans on cans.

It's nice to hear you picked up a pair of the classic AKG K240 Monitors. Your AKG headphone collection has grown.

Nando.

 

[Miracle Mile]

Nice surprise!!

It's nice to hear you picked up a pair of the classic AKG K240 Monitors. Your AKG headphone collection has grown.

Nando.

Oh yes! This was a nice surprise the seller didn't mention:

A K240 Anniversary Edition!

It needs the usual work and more pics. will follow...

 

[Elite-ist]

Even better, Miles. I didn't know about an Anniversary Edition of K 240 headphones.

Nando.
