    Comment by 'SteveloRCA' on listing 'Focal Radiance'

    I have been considering these for some time now. What would you say the sound signature is like? Is the only reason to sell them because of the portability or do you have another reason? You ae the second owner so is there issues with them and what are you thinking for price point? I have the...

    OPPO To Reveal PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones and HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier at RMAF

    Most likely the best closed back Planar Headphones are the Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime. The price point is much greater than the OPPO PM 3's but the Alpha Primes are not really for portable use as the PM 3's are going to be. The Alpha Primes beat the PM 2's hands down even though the PM 2's are an...

    Meet Alpha Prime

    There is very little leakage from the Prime if any, will depend on volume however. The pads are thick and comfortable, they seem to keep in a lot of sound. Driving them I would suggest an amp. I have the volume cranked on my MacBook Air when playing them directly out of the computer. When I add...

    MrSpeakers Alpha PRIME: Impressions and Discussion Thread

    OK, this is just stupid, I am listening to a Tiesto podcast on my Macbook Air through my Cypher Labs Therom 720 and have the new Alpha Primes plugged into the 720! I must say a Podcast has never sounded so good. These headphones are picking up sounds in the tracks that I have not heard with...

    MrSpeakers Alpha PRIME: Impressions and Discussion Thread

    The Alpha Primes are in my hands, just arrived today! They come in a nice package, not over the top like the PM-1's but I would rather spend the money on the headphones then a fancy wooden box anyway! Nothing against Oppo for this however. These Alpha Primes are extremely gorgeous and well...

    OPPO To Reveal PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones and HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier at RMAF

    I had the P7 cans and found them good. Then I heard the Oppo PM-2's and well sold the P7's. Different of course since the P7's are closed and the Oppo Pm- 2's are open. There is just something quicker about Planar headphones with vocals and bass that I have fallen in love with. If the PM-3's are...

    Reply to review by 'stevelorca' on item 'Astell&Kern AK100II High Resolution Single DAC Audio Player'

    Amazing, Sony wants $700.00 for their new Walkman to break into this market yet they do not support DSD as this one does. I think I will save up an extra $200.00 and buy the AK 100 II. The storage capability is huge as well, were Sony does not offer any additional storage. Sony also wants you to...

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Audio compatibility is pretty good: MP3, WMA, ATRAC, ATRAC Advanced Lossless, WAV, AAC, HE-AAC, FLAC, Apple Lossless and AIFF formats are all supported. DSD files are not supported – you’d have to convert to Linear PCM first. Read more at...

    OPPO To Reveal PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones and HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier at RMAF

    Thank you, I don't care about the colour to be truthful, I just want the best sounding option in the 3's, and reading another article that would be the one with the leather pads. The PM-2's are very comfortable so if they fit like that I am sold. Look forward to the new year then!

    What number where you when you ordered yours? I think I was in the 60's unfortunately and now I am excited to get that sipping e-mail, for who knows haw long it will then take to get to Canada!

    Do you recall what number you were when you ordered them? Just curious for I think I was in the sixties since there was 43 pairs still available when I ordered I do believe. Just curious when I might see my little piece of heaven on earth!

    OPPO To Reveal PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones and HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier at RMAF

    Unfortunately I won't be getting one from Santa this year but if these items go on pre sale orders I will be all over them. I have had the pleasure of listening to the PM-2's, If these things are remotely close to that for portable headphones, I am sold! I also look forward to the HA-2, as it...

    OPPO To Reveal PM-3 Planar Magnetic Headphones and HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier at RMAF

    Any time frame roughly on the release of both these devices? Rumors etc... will do for now. Wondering if I can put them on my Xmas wish list? I just bought a pair of the Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime closed headphones and love the sound of Planar Cans. I think the Alpha Primes will be to big and...

    Meet Alpha Prime

    Currently I am in the market for a stand alone AMP. The one I currently have is only for portable use and it is the Theorem 720 DAC/Amp. Any suggestions for an Amp that I can connect to my OPPO 105 player or anything else I may want to connect to it?    Thank you for the line on the cable...

    Meet Alpha Prime

    Where did you get that sweet looking cable from? Is that the one that comes with the Prime or is that an after market cable? All the pictures I have seen with the Prime are all black cables. If this is an after market cable would be able to tell me where you get such a beast? I am in Canada and...
