After a long full year of usage, btw they sounded pristine and excellent! however i'm starting to notice tiny blots appearing on my clear cable (the tips of jack, and the connecting part). does anyone share the same problem as I have?

I've always wonder what does G stands for on the AKJR display screen. When I press it, nothing noticeably happens such as sonically wise.

Does the AK CD-ripper compatible with AK Junior, besides the higher models like AK240, AK320 and AK380?

the prototype tip of the earphone cable had the gold plate (right-red dot, left-blue dot), but the official release has the silver plate instead. why is that?  

thanks for the reply, but I really want to get it brand new. do you think is safe if i bought it from another dealer: best buy. they don't carry the item per say but they do distribute the product from another dealer: beach camera. the business method is similar to those of best buy. i guess...

how would you describe the sound? ak jr is not available around my area, which means i have to blind purchase it online. official retail price is 499 but on amazon. it is listed around 419.99 to 499.99. i heard people received their item used instead of brand new. so would you say 419.99 may...

how does it sound? 499 is a really good price for mid-range end music player but paying for 2 or 3 more grand for the ultra high end model may sound a little crazy!

so in other words, it will read the 200gb card without any issue?

does astell & kern jr support 200gb.

don't worry bro, they are legit. they are the asian edition without the hard plastic case.

just went to the website and it's 999.00 like most stores!

Although retail is $1000, but 850 is still expensive. btw how did you get the 150 dollar discount? is the 850 tax included?

i was talking to a guy who works at layton audio in montreal, he introduced me the place and say if i'm around town, i can try his.

Does the store provide free auditory for earphones? Finally are there anymore stock of se846?

Did you even audit the sound of se846? The sound is spectacular! the bass is visceral comparing to my se535ltd! yes i still am the owner of the red earbuds. remember one thing, se846 is a 1000 dollar iem, se535 is 500 bucks or less.
