Headphones

[speakerman1]

I can't stand them. Hate them being on my ears. Not many systems in the house that headphones sound better. I just don't wear them.

Thank God for that!! Otherwise I'd not have gotten those fab AKG 601's from ya

Living in an apt and getting off work at midnight makes them a must for me. Somethimes I can still smell your head sweat on them

I use headphones to monitor my tape recordings. When I'm recording from vinyl I don't want to take a chance of any feedback being transmitted from my speakers to the stylus, so I mute the speakers and use my AKG K-240 headphones to listen to the recording in real time. I have a few sets of vintage headphones, including a pair of quadraphonics.

But for playback, it's always through my system speakers. The AKG K-240s are very comfortable, but I can operate the remote control from my bed-side to pump up the volume on the Pioneer C-72 Control Amplifier.

I can't hang with headphones too much. Luckily I'm at the opposite side of the house from the wife n munchkin - and they have all sort of fans going down there, I barely ever get a complaint.....

well... unless I'm playing The God Particle... heheheh

Man, that was perfect!!!

Still kicking myself for throwing a pair of AKG K-340 dynamic/stat hybrids in the trash in a drunken rage because the bass was out in on channel, there's a reason they sell for $500 unmodded. They're on my 'bucket list'. I love really nice 'phones, a totally different way to hear into the music.

Speaking of headphones, I scored a pair of JVC HA-D990's the other day, way outside Capitan, New Mexico at a garage sale. I'd been wanting them for years. I cleaned them up, did a bit of modding, and they sound glorious. They are far less EAR-ittating than my Klipsch Heresy main speakers.

 

[laatsch55]

Yep, it's natural for you,-ear-ittating indeed!!!

Oops! Did I just scratch a fellow Klipsch owner?

I used them when I drank and didn,t think the Neighbors appreciated Jethro Tull at 120 DBs
