Other then portability vs. non-portability issue which is kinda obvious... I would save my money and wait for the Hugo TT upgrade.  Based on Chords development cycle/ potential product re-fresh it was the Hugo first then the release of the Hugo tt then the Mojo and finally Dave.  Looks like they...

The combo between the Hugo 2 and the RWAK380 player is better then with the Hugo.  For portability reasons I use the RWAK 380 + RWAK 380 amp to/from the train and then I can choose to switch to the Hugo or the Hugo 2 (soon) when listening in the office.      Sincerely your friend in audio, -...

Acknowledgments:   I would like to extend Todd a sincere thank you for allowing me to listen to these headphones.  He is professional, personal and wonderful to work with.  Exactly the person I like to do business with.  Plain and simple!   Equipment Used:   HD-800, Hifiman HE-1000, Cord...

Wow,   This update could be the single most significant FW update AK has made to there players to date!     They need to be commended for there excellent TOTL products and there continued effort to support each and every player they have ever made from the AK 100 on up. This clearly...

Hi Dillan,   I respect that your technically minded.  I am technically trained and make a very good living at it as many of us on this thread do!  That said, I would like to think we (all of us) are multi-faceted beings and although we may have invested in a technical education or focus we...

I clearly respect your view-point and your decision to pass on the AK380.  That said, my experience was different.   Specifically, I had the AK240 and the AK380 together for comparison side by side for several months before I purchased the amp module and then a few months later before I sent...

    onlychild,   Beautiful accurate and articulate summary of exactly what both Apina and I have both experience!  I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner but I've dropped off of HeadFi about a month ago and I'm just starting the monumental task of trying to play catching up.  The RWAK mods are...

    I agree with spook76,   Thank you for all your contributions   Sincerely, Your friend in audio, -Speed

I have been very fortunate with my KSE-1500's as I've had them just a few months but since their release a few member on this thread have experience problems typically with either the left or right channel cutting out.  As many have said in the past Shure is a very reputable company and will...

Good question!     As a former Shure SE-846 owner, I used only the black olives and I didn't put any shell of any kind on them.  That said, the SE-846 shell is a physically larger enclosure then the KSE-1500 and that may or may not be an issue.  When I followed the 846 thread I noticed the...

Hi piercer,   Hope all is going well for you my friend.  Yes I believe so but please shoot Paul and e-mail he will respond to you quickly. I've had mine for about 6 weeks now and I'm really happy I have them.   Sincerely, Your friend in audio, -Speed

Hi y2jdmbfan,   Please refer to posts 1831 for pics of the Snugs half shells and 1832 for pics of the Sensaphonics full shells.  They speak for themselves.   Sincerely, -Speed
