welcome aboard conrad!

another akg 240s here...

welcome to u too, i just wanna ask, how do u guys run ur precious akg in.

just leave it to play with music for the day ?. or just listen to when running in.

what kind of music will u play to run the headphones in ?

I'm the poorest here. Just have the humble k81dj bought in singapore. I will never ever buy from asia sound cuz they really mark up to unreasonable prices.

you guys are making me to avoid the 701 now.

1. all this while i thought that the 701 cost only rm 1200 at asia sound which is still within my budget. if like this then 325i loh it seem.

2. my headamp is only the little dot micro, which is not even here yet... hehehee! and akg is famous for its hard to drive driver... little dot 3 also not nice loh imagine the micro... another reason to 325i.

someone mentioned getting it in singapore. where in singapore? that bugis area...sim lim square?

i think u can get the 701 from TTVJ shipped to msia for about RM1.3k

how far are you from 1.3k? just endure n save up...im trying to hit 2.2k....but in usd

ahahaa!
dont compare me and you alamaklor.

besides, i have just purchased a DSLR camera... for work purposes... and i realised that after managing to get some used equipment instead of new, i have some extra of RM 800... so, lack of RM 500 only... yay!

luckily i have told u guys asia sound price.

too bad i m the one who experimented. anyway ifer i think u should go ahead with 701 and buy from the internet. it should be good.

maybe someone can help him to own a akg 701

Hmm.. Dxxx + leftover to buy headphone.. damn i'm envious

In Singapore:
Jaben Network in Adelphi, opposite Funan, look for uncle Wilson.
Stereo Electronics, Causeway Point, look for Aron.
Can audit at both places, very friendly and good service, knowledgable staff, good prices comparable with US prices.

cool, unless you are going to singapore, if not then is a bit far, the trip down there, the accomodationa and the food in sing dollars, hmm,

is it really much cheaper ?

Ask [Top-Gun] to help.

Categg,
it seem like you know which camera i bought... hehee!
well, need it for my work (i am currently photographing for a book to be published next year)

sonyman,
KL to Singapore is not really far. unless you are from Penang... then it's seriously far.

i used to take a night train where i can sleep 10.30pm, reaching there at 7am... after immigration and stuffs, stepped into singapore at 8am, just nice for 2 half boiled eggs and teh O'. then take the 10.15pm night train back to KL on that same day.

crazy? that's what my friends said everytime i do this trip. buy the returns ticket at KL Sentral and it cost me less than RM 100 only.

Actually, all the ones I bought, all ask my sis to bring in for me since she study in sg and I study in subang. When go back to hometown then I collect from her. Great arrangement! But since delivery so easy, bad for my wallet...

great way to escape, sounds a bit like amazing race!
maybe i meant driving to singapore, u took the train, must be really relax.

I really love the used market...especially if you can find something in superb condition for 70% of the new retail price

If you are contemplating selling ur sr60 before/after you got ur 701....suggest you dont do it the sr60 is still an enjoyable phone...unless you intend to replace the sr60 with the ksc75

OT here:
coz i was eyeing the same camera myself.. just got it and suffered massive bleeding understand why im envious of u now?

Good luck in getting your photos done As for me.. i'll probably just dream of owning the 701

OT here again:
thanks Categg... i managed to find a used lens and therefore, i have a couple of hundreds extra. still not enough for the headphones though.

plus, i might not want to burn it on a new headphones... might use it for another used lens. ahahaa!

coz the thing is i am thinking that there is no point for me to get a really good headphones as i am using my ipod (line out) and a headamp only... SR-60 is good enough for me. but then again, that was what i said when i had my phillip 890. until i tried the sr-60.

Haha.. when you try a properly burned in pair of 701 i believe you'll be thinking very differently...

Had the honour to worship a pair of 701 for about a month some time back and it was very, very poison..

Akg701 got a dock to stand one?
It looks so nice in pic..
The real thing still plastic materials though..haha

Fortunately, it sounds so beautiful in my ears.
