I run my AKG K1000 headphones with a Woo Audio WA5 headphone amp. Great combination.
Amp recommendation for AKG K1000's headphones?
I recently gave into temptation & picked up a pair of AKG K1000's. I've wanted a pair for ages & with their retirement there was no time like the present. Now comes the interesting part of finding an amp that pairs well with them :)
But before making the leap into uncharted territory [for me] I was curious what amps might be worth an audition? To level-set -- ideally this will become a dedicated headphone rig, so the scope of this decision doesn't need to account for synergy with my existing front-end gear.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

I really loved the Audiovalve RKV when I used to own K-1000s. They really meshed strengths to create some awesome synergy. I had a buddy that used to use CJ Premier 12 monos for his K-1000s, but I never heard that particular setup of his... Man, that guy had everything worth having in the headphone world including TWO PAIRS of HE90s!!! |
Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2 and my K1000's are my current combo Had the K1000 since Xmas 2003, when Alvin Gold reviewed themĀ http://enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0903/akgk1000.htm I'm running on 100% on battery power, no mains power in my headphone rig, the source is a really nice DAP from iBasso - the DX220MAX very content :-) |
