Can anyone recommend a quality fiber optic patch cable for hooking up my AK120 to the Sony PH-3...mini-toslink to toslink, preferably with right-angle connectors. Thanks!

Ray that looks like man-cave heaven! Really dig the whole thing. I'm jelly.

Lame excuses and more back pedaling. Enjoy the holidays.

Reading comprehension problems? Maybe you should re-read the article because not once does the author mention that "he does not know anything about turntables" and the friends that he had "help" him simply brought over a couple of different cartridges mounted to headshells and the classic...

Yup. They seem to work fine and volume levels are not a problem. I rarely listen any higher than the mid 50s ( on a volume scale of 1-70). I haven't tried them with a dedicated amp yet but will probably try that in the new year. I know. I should be ashamed.

Just picked up a set last week. I don't have much IEM experience, but so far these are competitive with any of my full sized cans.

Hello All,   I'm somewhat of a newb with IEMs. I've got a set of Klipsch S4ii that I like well enough except that that the signal cord is microphonic to the extreme.  Any kind of movement results in intrusive noise in all but the loudest listening sessions.  I like the tonal balance of the...

I really like the 3D arm but I wouldn't call it great value.  It works great with some carts and when it's a good match the results are epic.  But I have at least one cartridge which sounds better mounted on a stainless steel armwand, at half the price of the 3D.

Sweet setup. Really should get a better camera though!    Ive got a VPI too and I notice you are using Bob's Devices 1131 SUT.  I've got one too and couldn't be happier.  

Perfect!  Thats exactly what I was hoping for.  Thanks gents!

Did a quick lazyman's search and didn't find anything so here's my question. I just got an AK120, and I'm uploading music as I type. I don't want to be tied to my laptop all the time to charge the unit so does anybody know the specs for a power supply / charger for the 120?   Thanks in advance...

Not yet, but based on the price direction of their portables, I'd guess at least $5Gs for the amp, maybe more.  Maybe a lot more.

Just found this pic of the speakers...  

(Double post from the AK120 thread)   A quick look of the AK240…   http://www.stereophile.com/content/astellkern-ak240-hd-portable-player   I'm still waiting on my AK120 in the mail, so this only has a passing interest to me.
