Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
I've only just discovered the existance of these Shures today... I've just bought a cheap pair of Beyerdynamic Xelentos and somehow the research into them took me to the Shures. I really want a pair! Along with Sonarworks SoundID on something like the Merging Anubis to replace the...- LuckyNat

FlaresPro/FlaresGold by Flare Audio
My experience of Gold to Pro 2HD was minimal sonically but slightly more comfortable (and cheaper). I see the Pro 2HD pop up on ebay UK often enough if one is dedicated in looking for some.- LuckyNat

PONO - Neil Youngs portable hi-res music player
A lovely poetical image. Mine however, sits there next to my hifi just feeling part of the audio family, but retired and enjoying time to relax. I would use it more if the battery would last between uses! For me, it needing to be charged *before* every use (or some strict charging regime)...- LuckyNat

Help me to choose a used DAP.
Everything I have bought has been secondhand. The CD ripper cost me £150 I think. It is sooooo much easier than using software on a PC, naming tracks etc. I think I had a copy of Foobar that maybe found the information and did it for you too.. but I think you have to pay for that anyway? I...- LuckyNat

The Astell & Kern AK240
Hi all - are there many on this thread who have experience in trying to fix a 240 themselves, i.e. not sending to iRiver ? I bought one to fix (cost £120 or so) as a gamble purchase. It doesn't turn on, I have now changed the battery hoping it was just that... Are there any tricks or advice...- LuckyNat

Help me to choose a used DAP.
I upgraded from my AK120ii to a 320 and greatly enjoyed the improvement - to a more detailed sound from the warmer 120ii and which I guess will be the sig of the 240 also? When going back and forth after getting the 320, I came to feel the 120ii was sounding slower and more muddy in comparison...- LuckyNat

Denon D5000 VS. D7000
P.S. If anyone wants to read the Lawton tear-down of the D7000, it can be found on the Internet Archive, alas with no photos on the page I'm looking at (some saves of it may have photos..) : https://web.archive.org/web/20090416085436/http://www.lawtonaudio.com/page20.html- LuckyNat

The Astell & Kern AK240
I don't know about locally! I think any replacement be shipped from china originally. I found some on AliEXpress but haven't yet purchased one (it would appear I didn't complete the purchase! I thought I had ... so I will have to now wait longer ). I think it was going to cost just £13 plus...- LuckyNat

FlaresPro/FlaresGold by Flare Audio
Multiple driver iems have all sorts of hurdles to over-come to smoothly integrate those drivers together so they sound as one whole; cross-overs, phase differences... With single driver iems, and dynamic drivers in particular, I guess it's about finding a good driver as much as anything and...- LuckyNat

FlaresPro/FlaresGold by Flare Audio
Remember that the Pro 2HD is now sold out and discontinued! You'll have to buy secondhand. Their twitter account said their sale was the last chance to buy them... and now they're sold out. Not sure what Flare Audio are doing next - they wouldn't say when i asked. Perhaps demand has been slow...- LuckyNat

The Astell & Kern AK240
Has anyone replaced their AK240 battery recently? I'm looking for a replacement but not sure where is a good source (there don't seem to be ones on ebay any more, if they were reliable).- LuckyNat

Flare Audio R2PRO Kickstarter campaign
There are really cheap secondhand on ebay! Although I've never checked US ebay... Some in the UK for £50 Buy it Now. Mine are on long-term loan and my R2Pros broke a few months ago (the cable/plug issue that others else had but I avoided for a few years) .- LuckyNat
