Kicking off 2016 with a Toronto / GTA meet on Saturday January 30th
Count me in! (Steve Toth). I'll be bringing Koss ESP 950 and MrSpeakers AlphaPrime. If you want to listen to them, I'll likely be there for the first half. Looking forward to my first meet!- rataplan

MrSpeakers Alpha PRIME: Impressions and Discussion Thread
I've got The Bends cranked and my wife can hear them on the other end of a 3 seater couch in an otherwise quiet room. That said, they isolate well and reasonable listening levels. Very please with the Primes, my first serious closed-back headphone purchase.- rataplan

Review by 'rataplan' on item 'Astell & Kern AK120'
I bought this player because I wanted “the best” portable DAP money could buy. Even though I now have a portable experience that rivals or might even surpass my desktop setup, it has not left me without considerable headaches and occasional feelings of buyer’s remorse. Let’s remember that...- rataplan

Would like to hear the reviews on how the AK120 sounds with some CANS (not just IEMs). I will be posting mine once my AK120 arrives!- rataplan

The song "Window" in particular takes on a whole new sonic character with its deep, textured, cavernous bass.
