FitEar TO GO! & Universal Series --- Suyama's custom IEM, made universal!
Lol, you got that right music. After a year of owning a pair of 334s I love them even more now than when I first got them. I've gotta add that if price is of no concern, then the whiplash 8 conductor twag gold is really that little extra in terms of sq improvement, comfort and sheer looks...- milarepa

Mini balanced to 3.5mm. adapter ... in my way.
AnakChan has a Mezzo adapter of the same build. I guess shooting a PM to birdoffice, the owner of mezzo, to see if could be of help to you might be worth a shot. Phanom is a very nice guy just like our man Komkrit.- milarepa

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
My experience of the 334s with the Alo cable was that the lower mids and bass suffered some loss in it's punch that is not so with the 000. My thinking is that the somewhat powerful lower regions of Listrid 2.0 would be a good match for the Alo cabled 334. I have sold my alo cable, so this is...- milarepa

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
Gotta say I'm with Rudi on this. On my MS-AK100/TWAG Gold 8/TG!334 setup there is no lack of juicy mids nor treble problems, and the bass hits home running Listrid 2.0. It is portable endgame for me for quite a while, both my ears, wallet and wife tells me so....- milarepa

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
Quote: They sound great even out of my iphone I agree, but to be wowed with them all the time and not twice an hour takes some work. I've spent a fortune to hoan their sound, and this is my peak. This combo tames the bass of the 334 without giving away the timbre, and then emphazies the...- milarepa

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
Quote: The MS with the 334 and the beautifully bass balanced TWag Gold is such a great synergy words fall short. I barely have time to post since music is consuming me!!! The size of the AK100 makes it even more magical. I will never amp my 334s again.- milarepa

New balanced portable amp from RSA w/ DAC!
The Intruder benefits well from se in to balanced out. This according to Ray himself and my ears, hence the question.- milarepa

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
I have been using the russian FW for some time now, and when I connect the ak to my mac there are some instability issues when holding my two 64gb cards. However if I fill the internal while not having the sd cards in the unit there are no problems at all. I then use my card reader to fill up...- milarepa

Mezzo Soprano - mods & cables - impressions thread.
The 8 conductor twag gold is in the 650 $ range. It has a full warm sound like the 000 but with more control/less bloat to the low bass while also bringing some more treble and air to the 334s. A very good synergy to my ears.- milarepa

Thanks lamechops, I'm glad to get some company here and I am really looking forward to hearing your impressions when you get your mod. The cable I'm using is a Whiplash TWag Gold 8 conductor. It is so beautiful in both sights, sounds and comfort I cannot help loving it. It is the culimination...- milarepa

Quote: Thank you for your nice words there lescanadiens. I love that cable myself, it is the 8 conductor and out of the various cables I have tested with the 334s (alo,000,stock) this is by far the best in terms of comfort and sq for my tastes. It holds the least microphonics of those...- milarepa

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
I think the unresponsive screen is much due to the FW. I think running the russian FW pretty much solves this. Good enough for me anyway and I was horrified by the 1.33 FW coming from a world of apples.- milarepa

New balanced portable amp from RSA w/ DAC!
Thanks kothganesh. I have not heard the SR-71B, but I have noticed many users reporting that the upgraded SR-71B has quite similar signature to the sound of the Intruder. My upgrade to the Intruder was from the Continental V2 and on that upgrade I'm still very happy eventhough I miss those...- milarepa
