not sure if you've been reading my blog since the first post... if not, then see this post - my first actually - about the headphones that i own. mmm... no; that's half the truth! in the meantime i bought a pair of Sennheiser EH 250's to replace my HD 202's that broke during a recording session. anyway! back to the post!!

when i bought the AKG K601's i was disappointed because it simply didn't compare to my Sennheisers (HD 202's at the time) so i thought i'd have to buy a headphone amp to bring out their real potential.

WRONG!!!!!!!! they still sound thin :(

yesterday i finally bought a dedicated headphone amp (a Little Dot MK III) to drive the AKG K601 headphones. boy was i disappointed!  i have to admit they are louder. BUT - they still do not come close to the (fraction of the price) Sennheisers! i guess i'll "shtick" to "Zem" Sennnheiser headphones - JAWOHL!

ps: i still need to add those posts of how i've built the guitar, the house move with new studio layout, the Fender Mustang amp compared to software amps, Little Dot MK III headphone amp, all the new stuff i bought software/hardware etc etc... i'm very busy at the moment running my own web design/development company (chapter5 interactive) and contracting to other companies as Johan Pienaar, so i'll do it as soon as i get a moment ;) have a good one! LIFE IS SHORT! now there's a thought!!!! life is short... i don't know about you but i'm already one-quarter through my life (and you're probably too). Are you satisfied...?
