Categg photographed it beautifully...
he is a spy from asia music. got commission for every 701 sold. that's why he photograph it so beautifully... to add POISON to the forummers here.

LOL i wish man.. just spreading my love for the 701, this is the AKG club after all.

haha..sweet photograph...

Categg.. what is AKG240? nice model compare to AKG701?

From ur Senn HD650 signature der, I assumed u got both Akg701 & HD650, rite?

WRONG!!! I don't own the 701... i pinjam only but i do own the K240s and HD650

The K240 is a midrange phone (IIRC used to be their flagship) and is considered a classic phone coz it has been around for a long time. It was kind of the monitering headphone for musicians in the recording studio in the past. The "s" version was a later revision to cut down the highish 600 Ohm to 55 Ohm impedence.

As usual it has the classic midrange of AKG but the highs and bottom end are abit rounded off. It sounds better to me if you mod the stock to silver cable but then again it's nowhere near the HD650 or K701

havent been lurking around for months lately.... 701 owner here~

still enjoying the 701 for the long future... i think AKG did a good job with 701...

dammned, you guys just talk about the 701, how i wish i can turn back in time and tell my self not to get the 601, and get the 701 fromt the internet, instead of asia sound.

dammed dammmed.

Probably u can fast fast sell ur 601 at Ebay..

And top-up to buy 701...

good idea, maybe can consider it. who wants to buy a 601 at the price of 701?

looks like i have to loose the money,

which site offers the cheapest 701?
TTVJ is kinda expensive still...

try to email ttvj about the price......i think they can do lower despite whatever they introduced

if you manage to get it much much cheaper, say like rm 1300 or so please tell me, i will shoot asia sound and tell him the issue here.

can i do that?
ok! i will give it a try.
thanks for the tips

Hey..there is different between mortal shop/ttvj online shop. From asia sound u got local waranty and have been taxed by malaysia gov.

Buy from ttvj is like "water good".Hard to claim waranty. You have to bear the risk.

He normally offer a better pricea fter u email him than what he show on web or else he might lose the dealership. Please dun question asia sound and compare to ttvj for the sake of welfare of all headfier. Todd is very nice guy. Eh..ya first time buyer got discount coupon, use it.

I also wanna complain to McDonalds over here for charging me RM25 for a meal but <RM10 in msia!

I think McDonalds will say - "feel free to fly back to msia to eat your RM10 meal"

Yalor, like what the rest advise, it's wiser not to shoot them buggers at Asia Sound, just learn the lesson and be "sing dit" in future when surveying for headphone

Letting them know might raise some issues with AKG, although of course they aren't as sensitive as Grados. And TBH, Alex from Asia Sound already knows if I'm not mistaken.....

Cheers

It will make no difference whether he raise the issue or not. Different distro set prices differently, you can even sell at MSRP without problem..they dont have to sell it to you for less at the first place. What'd you think local dealers could do? tell AKG distro about it? then what AKG distro would do? Tell the US branch about it? and what'd the USD branch do? ask the dealers not to advertise their selling price and do it discreetly, which is what they are doing now. The only thing that is definitely going to happen is....they will tell u what i just said..."you want a RM1300 K701? fly to the states n get it" and you'd be labelled as a rat..nothing else will change.

It's not surprised headphone in Msia is overly priced(Grado i think quite resaonably priced). It's a norm every audio related stuff in this land is expensive.

As 701 case, the price here already make it unaffordable hp for average malaysian.

For me, i dun think local distributor can offer anything extra except waranty. They are not even interested in marketing headphone. For me I tired of open my mouth to reduce the price. See they offer you rm400 discount for 601. Imagine how much mark up there. Our hp community is not big enough.

So bear with it or leave it.

TTVJ didn't specify how payment can be made on the website. Is it through credit card or Paypal ??

I paid by CC.

he takes both...credit card will be better and easier...there were some hassles with paypal payments last time. But if you pay with paypal, you might save some money depending on the % ur credit card company charges you on currency exchange. Paypal only charge a fixed 2.5% fee....for me, im indifferent between using CC n pypal, they both charge the same rate
