QUOTE(yrh0413 @ Jan 30 2007, 11:25 AM) I'm experiencing this weird bass problem on my AKG. Last night I popped in Eva Cassidy's Songbird and the first song (#01 Fields of Gold), and the background acoustic guitars creates distortions especially when Eva is singing. It sounded as if my AKG's drivers failed to push air fast enough to keep in pace with the singer. I sent PcWork this particular track, and we confirmed that the recording was bad. Distortions could be heard almost everywhere, and the weird bass problem was audible on PcWork's 890 as well.  |

It's definately distortion due to some bad recordings or whatever. Running unamp easily spots them already.

Shit? You call this a piece of shit?
 Oh well, my shit burns 24/7, everyday i'll off my LD for 2~3 hours. It doesn't consume much electricity anyway; i'm in front of my PC almost 20 hours/day working on VB.net, and my K701 keeps me occupied. |

Don't know its placebo or not; i don't feel anymore improvements to the SQ on my K701 already. Can it be considered as fully-burnin now?

The improvement is there, but it will be very very miniature now. Maybe a few % after 1000 hours? It wont be like, after right at the 1000 hour mark the bass just bloom out from nowhere.   |

nah i don't think the bass will improve a lot anymore. Marginal yes maybe. There's countless of threads in Headfi which complains the weak bass of K701, i guess nothing much can be done.
