Akgs that are not too bright?
I had the q701s, when they sounded good they were amazing. Unfortunatly, to my ears, the q701s had a fatal flaw. They were too bright, too often. I would like to find an akg ( massive soundstage, detail retrieval, seperation/imaging ) that I can pair with a tube amp, that is not as fatigueing in...- JIMMY16

Little dot mk2 as pre-amp
I have already ordered mk2 and look forward to using it as a headphone amp. I am also really hoping I can use it as a pre-amp into a Marantz surround receiver. The mk2 Manual States some limitations on what the mk2 can be paired with . there is evidence, that some people have had great results...- JIMMY16

BLON BL-30 Review, impressions and discussion thread
Everything I have heard about the 1060c and my experience with bl-30 . I would say the 1060c is probably better in every way.- JIMMY16

BLON BL-30 Review, impressions and discussion thread
The sub bass and tambre of vocals (although got distortion nn the vocals quite often) are the best aspect of this headphone. A little bloated and undetaled. THe bigness of bass and drum was mpressive. When I switched to 40mm drivers they sounded puny. I actually had these laying on my bed and...- JIMMY16

BLON BL-30 Review, impressions and discussion thread
After a bit of bending I got a good seal. The pads were fine for me but I don't wear headphones for hours. I'm just being lazy after the holidays and trying to stay in more until I get vaccinated. Your offer of a porta pro was generous considering they sound better than the bl-30's. Lol- JIMMY16

BLON BL-30 Review, impressions and discussion thread
Where is the soundstage? I think my hd6xx is wider.. Good sub bass rumble but undetaled. Generally very good mid range but I'm getting distortion quite often. I don't think trble is too rolled off. That being said, Where is the detail and separation for the entire range? Congested mess. These...- JIMMY16

BLON BL-30 Review, impressions and discussion thread
I'm giving mine to goodwill. Nevermind the fit issue ( which is. Easily fixed) sound quality wise there are countless $100 and less headphones that sound better. Apples and oranges but why would I listen to this, when I could have a much more pleasurable experience with the bl-03 or any other of...- JIMMY16
