I have tried to contact AK for the past 3 weeks regarding my concern about 2 players that I have ($6000). I have not received a single reply to any of these emails. I have also received other AK emails to send my concerns to from various members of this group. Again I have not received a single...

I have 2 AK players originally worth over $6000.00 new. Both my players have not been able to log onto my Tidal streaming service. I contacted AK about this issue a few weeks ago and was told they they are working on getting newer players back online with Tidal but older players may not be able...

I currently own a pair of Focal Elear and I absolutly adore them. I love them so much that I have been thinking of upgrading to the Utopia's. I have been writing Focal a few times in regards to Beryllium being toxic and should there be any concern about having this strapped around your head for...

I have listened to and owned some great headphones in my time and I recently purchased a pair on NAD Viso HP50's on the recommendation of Tyll Hertsens great "I Love These Headphones" review on the product.    When I first got them home, I opened the package and thought they were not the...

I've been using my Logitech squeezebox as my music streaming device since I setup my audio room almost 2 years ago. i have made various tweaks and updates over that time, but for some reason I didn't mess around with my player (the Squeezebox). I had some time last night and decided to try my...

  I am very very interested in the claims that the AK240 can play DSD native files, but I couldn't understand how it can possibly do it. After looking at the specifications of the DAC's they are using it didn't make sense to me.  I wrote the following email to the company.    My Original...

I wanted to read some reviews on the Mcintosh MC1000 mono block amps. This is the first time in my Internet history that I can't find a review?.....did this thing even exist :o    

  I have a pair of Magnepan MMG's. I am running 2 B&k amps (one for speakers one for sub). and a B&K preamp. I am using a Squeezebox touch as my source.   I am looking for the best possible DAC I can get for this setup without breaking the bank. I don't mind buying used.    If I had to...

I would like this tread to be true "Best band for your buck audiophile products"   I say Magnepan MMG speakers

I have been putting off ordering a pair of LCD3's because of the price tag. I currently own a pair of LCD2 v1 and I love them. I have always said that the only  thing the 2 v1's were lacking we're some sweeter highs. So when I heard from users that the 3's found these lost highs I was very...

I have a BK ST-140 amp/preamp. It sound very good, but I'm hearing that I need alot of power to really make these babies shine. They also highly recommend a 4 ohm amp with lots of power.   I want the best bang for the buck. I would also prefer (not a must), for the amp to have a toslink...

I started a thread about 8 months ago about balanced vs unbalanced and because I come from a pro film/video background, I couldn't understand why so many of these 1000+ headphone were being made unbalanced. Many opinions in that thread said there is not much of a difference. Well today my...

I purchased a pair of DT 1350's about a week ago and today I've noticed a crackle sound in the left channel. I've actually only listened to them for about 6 hours. Is it just a defective pair?

I am using am iDecco (docking a 160gb iPod) with the pre-amp outputs going into my Lyr.

If you own a pair of LCD2's and have other headphones, I would like to know which 1 set of headphones you would keep if you could only keep the LCD2's and only one other set?   Please tell us the headphone name, model and why.      

I just received my Lyr today and I'm loving it so far. I was wondering if anyone can suggest which tubes they have tried in the Lyr and what there impressions are compared to the stock tubes.   When you mention a tube can you please name the manufacturer and model number for reference.    

Has anyone else had a hard time with ALO Audio's customer service?   I have sent them 2 emails regarding some questions I have about the Solo and I have not received a single reply.    

I have an iDecco that I use as my bedroom headphone amp / Stereo amp. I hardly used it as a stereo because I thought it sounded a little muddy. A friend of mine suggested the OMH-1 so I thought I would give them a try. I couldn't believe the improvement in sound the moment I hooked them up. The...

I heard these cables at a friends place. I've heard his system before and it sounds much better now. Anyone else tried them or know anything about these OMH1's?   Here is link   www.blessedcables.com    

A few days ago I found out that Audeze was shipping out a different cable with the LCD2's. I wrote to Audeze and asked if I can get the new cable since I've only had my LCD2's for about 7 days. Sankar from Audeze wrote to me and said I could get the new cable if I send back my old cable and...

My LCD2's just arrived. I was nervous unpacking everything and plugging them in for the first time. I wasn't sure what I should listen to first. I decided on Norah Jones, Come Away With Me. I warmed up my iDecco for at least 1/2 an hour before plugging them in. I pressed play...My first...
