well the akg 702 is out of the box fresh so the pads is very new and thicker than my overuse akg 701 .....
compared to my overabused akg 701 and burn at 1000 hours and finalised cooked with generator cooker and cables have been demagnitezed as well...... flex.gif  brows.gif
akg 702 at 1st impression as all akgs users know the mids to highs have annoying siblance and very harsh to hear.....at 1k hours i sure that it will outperform the akg 701 with much better mids and great separation  thumbup.gif still the bass well...... sweat.gif

wow...how long i hv to spend to "cook" my 701 rolleyes.gif

sep90 sudah ada b22? biggrin.gif

On the portie amp powering K701..is the matter of: is ur portie player THAT good? On my system, the lowly low-Q iPod is the scoundrel and not the portable amp.

Usually people use desktop amps to power K701..

most of the time portable amps not enough juice to power them. Of course, there are exceptions, but i still think desktop amps are the best to power them adequately.
