    Tralucent Audio 1Plus2 IEM (Now With 'New' 1Plus2.2!) Impressions Thread

    Quote:   Experience.   I have two sets of triple flanges (one that came with Westone 3's and another that came with Shure SE535's) and both are small. Between the IEM's I have seen/owned, 1p2's have biggest nozzle.   And therefore, back to my original question - would be nice if...

    Quote: Thanks. I know where to source 'any' triple flange :-)   I was looking for one that fits the 1p2.

    Tralucent Audio 1Plus2 IEM (Now With 'New' 1Plus2.2!) Impressions Thread

    Anyone know where I can order triple flanges that fit the 1plus2's. I have fit problems with the silicon tips and t400/500's.

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Yes, mine is the long cord one and I have a converter at the end to 3.5mm. I haven't tried it with the momentums unfortunately, sorry! Ref: comparison to iPhone posted later. I love my ak120 but fact is the following - I tried a 256k (apple match) file through both the ak120 and the iPhone and...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Posting few thoughts on pairings:   All on 1.21   AK120 + TH900 = Excellent. Positively surprised at how it sounds without an amp AK120 + 1plus2 = Excellent. I think this is the IEM version of TH900 AK120 + Shure SE535 = Not impressed. The whole sound signature lacked depth and punch...

    Quote: Thank you!   As things stand I am due to get my 1plus2's in a week and my Heir 8a's a week after that. Will be interesting to see how they compare given the opinions on this thread have been mixed.

    Can anyone recommend which comply tips work for the 1plus2's? I like the Pseries (for fit reasons) but I am not sure if they are compatible. Reading through the posts it seems the T400 and 500's may work?   Thank you.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    To build on this. 1. As above, terrible. 2. Depends. If it is in a high ambient noise environment, not very good.

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Getting a full charge was difficult for me too, but my unscientific tests show that when I use an Ipad charger (more amps) it is considerably quicker than anything else I have, so I have switched to just that.

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Just chiming in on the value bit for portability.   My previous (and only good portable set up I have owned) was Ipod -> CLAS -> Graham Slee Voyager/RSA 71A and I can positively say that even without an amp in the chain the AK120 beats that set up hands down. Combined with the fact that it...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Yes, I did. I ordered on May 27, delivery took another week as they were out of stock.   Great piece of kit. Still trying it to find an optimum portable solution. I love how it sounds with the TH 900 but its not very on the road friendly. I have the SE535's that sound so-so with it. So, I...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    I didn't haggle at all! I looked up their website on a Sunday and they had a banner saying 10% off, picked that code applied to my order and voila - 1140, discounted to 1026.   I was 50-50 on whether to pull the trigger on the AK120, but when I saw the discount, I did what any (in)sane man...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Ref price of AK120: I bought mine from Audio Affair couple of weeks back for £1026, delivered.   Regarding synergy with Ed8's - They pair very well, but was a bit lacking on bass for my liking.

    Upgraded firmware and there is definitely a noticeable lack of body on my TH 900's. it's like the EQ at 600Hz downwards is damped.
