    Comment by 'VictorRomeo' on listing 'AK320/380 Amplifier black sealed new'

    Hi there - did you ever sell this or might you still have it? Interested for my AK320.

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    I've 2 x 128gb cards in my AK120 and they work fine.  I use them mostly for my HiRes collection so quantity is not an issue - especially when scanning.  What I have noticed is a tiny lag at times when scrolling through my music. It's not much of a problem for me as again, I've mostly hires files...

    Revols: cool self-molding, wireless earphones

    Hi,   Just saw their wares on an Engadget post and have since checked out their Kickstarter page  Very interested to learn how their self-moulding tips work.  Fascinating concept and though I've no use for BT headphones, their tip-technology has me intrigued....

    Like many, I'm finding the stock case a pretty poor affair.  Sure, It's probably a very safe place for the ie800 to live but it's a pretty awkward affair when out and about.  So I've been looking for interesting alternatives - and I believe I've found one.  I was looking at some horseshoe coin...

    System Shock 2 is still to this day the game that had the biggest impact on me.... Late 90's....  a decent sound card and headphones in a dark room playing late at night.  It was a truly suspenseful and terrifying game...  One of the first, imo, to really convey that via the ever evolving...

    Rate The Last Movie You Watched

    Just watched Lucy. Lots of fun and high octane energy. Sort of a Lawnmower Man for a new century!  It's also got a great car chase scene - a proper Luc Besson special!  Probably not the strongest movie out there these days but it is entertaining and a lot of fun.... I'd give it 8/10

    Quick update on fit.  So the Comply T500 (medium) tips arrived and and set about inserting the barrel from the small-round tips I butchered. They were tricky enough to insert and needed a little stretching first - used a Bic biro top!  I got there in the end and the barrel sits very snugly...

    Ok, I found your post via search but not pics.  I'll keep looking.  In the mean time, How did you wedge the barrel into the T500 There's some give in the T500 but they seem to be similarly sized - any particular technique?.  I experimented with an old pair from my wife's TF10s.  I've some new...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Got to agree there.  Further, for those who use a NAS for storage, it won't even see it - even if you have a drive mapped to a share.  So it's local and directly attached storage or nothing.  Crashes a lot too.

    I've read that the T500s don't 'lock' into place and hold....  Hence the hack.... was thinking of butchering one of the supplied tips and wedging the tube into a Comply tip.... If they do hold, all the better.....

    Quick update on fit.  I could not get any sort of reasonable seal cable down regardless of the tip used.  So, following a recommendation to go over ear, I tried the small oval tip.  A really good seal and sounded fantastic.  However, I found that as they went in too deep, they would stretch and...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

     I've an iPhone 5s - sounds decent.  My Wife had the M8 and really liked it (the audio) but hated the camera.  She moved to a Sony Xperia Z for the camera and I have to say the audio is pretty fantastic....  A little better than the M8 - better than the iPhone.  She uses her UE 900s...

    Sennheiser IE800 IEM's

    As I say above, I'm finding there's little slack when overear.  Maybe it's my big head tho'!  It's uncomfortable being so tight.  Inserted 'upside down' with left to left ear and right to right ear of you follow me works reasonably well from a fit perspective.  It's also the only way I can get...

    Thanks for the advice...! Having some success over ear - from an audio quality and bass perspective - with the small oval tips. If I go over ear with the cable, there's little slack and the cord is very tight below my jaw so I'm leaving the cable droop out. I get a deeper fit but it is not...

    Sennheiser IE800 IEM's

    So I collected my ie800s today from my local HiFi store - yep, I bought bricks and mortar!  Anyhow, I'm having a nightmare of a time with the supplied tips for isolation.  I'm getting zero bass from anything other than the medium tips supplied and even then it's extremely weak. For reference, my...
