Yep, Yep, thanks for the advice! I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

Why q701 vs k701? From the limited reading i did, the k's are designed flat but the q's have a bass bump. Am i wrong?
Well, that depends on where you read I guess. Both are supposed to have the same hardware just branded different with QJ sponsoring the Q's. I found a pair of the Austria made ones used. Should be here next week. The newer K's and Q's don't say made in Austria and at least all the parts are being made in China. Easy to spot the "Made in Austria" on the outside of the earpieces. I think a lot of the reviews are subjective since it is the users opinion. A graph somewhere of the K and Q's frequency range showed a bit of variation but that, I suppose could be from coil windings alone. Anyway I'm sure they are still a big step up from our 280's and I have found that I like open-ear better. -

Not to keep this dragging on or anything, but in one of your original posts you talked about wanting to replace your amps if you could find tones that matched well enough. Did you, then? And did you try profiling them with the Kemper (it's called a Profiling Amplifier for a reason, haha; to not even investigate its primary function before passing judgment wouldn't be very scientific ) ?Cheers,Sam
I have to agree with Sam. Nothing more to say other than good luck and best wishes on your never ending search -
Yep, just had mine done. Got it back a couple weeks ago and it was gone for about 2.5 weeks, door to door in US. They actually replaced the whole front panel cause mine was one of the older ones which had the Master button on top right and came back with the newer version which is Output. All is well but it's tough without it.

I preferred to practice unsafe Kempering. I figured if it goes bad, worse case scenario I'll end up with a little Remote expansion pedal
lmao!!! That's the spirit Livin on the edge! -
I take them off when I decide to keep the product If you are concerned about scratches, you could use cell phone screen covers.
Some people practice safe Kempering with plastic on and others don't.. It's your choice in the end to understand the consequences. -
That's a beast of a setup!! Nice! What might I ask is the white faced TV screen at the top of the rack?

for drandall and Paris Blue > Nice job!

As long as you don't want to actually make words with it, you don't need a Banshee. The Kemper can do it
With an expression pedal:

Sweet, I didn't know that.. Sounds good! Thanks for the tip @paults -
Haha, welcome to the second coming of Gianfranco!! Did you ever try out those RCF NX12's?
-
+1 without a doubt is a must to differentiate the types of profiles.

Looks good Sam, shaping up very nice!!!

Ok, I'm leaning towards the Q701 but read somewhere about a headphone amp. Does these also sound good being pushed by a laptop soundcard for movies on plane trips as well as iPod's without an external amp? TIA

i have the 280's and they serve me well, but the isolation is driving me nuts. i have to use phones late and night, and I swear I start to hear things, like crying babies and people in my living room, lol. i really want some open ones. anyone care to save me some research and tell me their favorite open-design pair for ~$100? I'm willing to spend a little more for quality, but I'm not looking for the best, just best bang for the buck.
Haha, cracking me up but true sometimes. Looking over your shoulder like someone is behind you.... Done that been there!!!!

Very nice paults! Clean looking setup. What pedal is that and is it going into the KPR? Thanks
-
@drandall > very freakin nice. That looks so good, I would only let slippers touch it.
-
OK, the 280's are going up for sale and I'm going to try the AKG 702s. Who said I fear change............ Never!

The action was excellent. It held it's tune well. I believe the maple design was a sticker; not real. It's pretty thick mahogany, but yet doesn't have any dark or grown tone of an LP. Heavier than a modern LP actually, probably not weight relieved. I put TV Jones in it.
All in all it was a solid Middle level guitar. No regrets. I gifted it to a kid in one of the surrounding rural counties and now he plays better than me. I totally didn't expect that, so it felt really nice that he took it seriously and loved it.
I highly recommend just giving a guitar to someone who can't afford one or would really appreciate it.
Very nice of you for sure!!! I thank you for your kindness and you should be proud that he took that gift and ran with it -
Just paid for mine this morning. Still waiting on shipping info. Hoping they sort out all these bugs/issues so I can actually use the thing!
Hopefully you get it soon Rich! You might be the first in the US!! Saw you got your DVP's for sale, sorry they didn't work out. Not even keeping one to use with your KPR?
