    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Could not agree more. It looks butt ugly. looks like its trying to apeal to the "Alian" market. I would not want to own it on looks alone. Unsophisticated kids stuff!

    An audiophile and petrolhead's journal: Buckle up!

    Well we did not get an idea of what your annual budget is, just for a sense of scale   Have you tried "you know that sewing machine you just bought, well if there was innumerable tweaks and accessories, would you join forums spend a lot of time on the net, buying stuff? "well no" she says...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    For me the style is...well Picasso and a Klingon walked into a bar............. The 'Klingon" style was designed in the late 80's so from that point of view is dated and nothing new. Pity they did not stay with the restraint and integrity of AK100.   I know aesthetics is subjective but I think...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    I can say without reservation that the Beyerdynamics DT1350 could be an awsome pairing for your situation it is for me anyway, albeit they are not IEM's. They almost totally isolate and sound great . May not work if you are a full bass head, but the quality and deep reach of the bass is...

    Astell & Kern AK 100 Mk2

    Burn in? That is simply someone who has been indoctrinated into all the BS by the audiofool segment of this community.   Just a note, I have the ak100 non modded and not a mark11. I use vsonics gr07/Beyer t90 and dt1350's. Funny but i am completely happy with my purchase and have no issues...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    The Sony over the AK for sound quality? (that was the only reference in my post)  really?.......Not my experience at all. Interesting.

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Is that in the context of sound quality?

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Wow, I am wondering how much better portable sound can go regarding sound quality, or frankly how much it really needs to. Twice the cost of an AK120? that must be some improvement! Like the difference between a analogue cassette and and a CD to command that sort of price. Well for me anyway...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Another case of 2 wrongs don't make a right. It is all a bit crazy. Audiofool heaven. Marketing guy's dream!

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    Well to the "reviewer" that stood by his dislike of the T90 and put his reputation on the line.........Me for one think you have completely missed it with the T90. Have been listening to them for a while now............awsome headphone. Will surely take your comments with a grain of salt.

    3.5mm plug blank 0ptions. An aesthetic issue

      I have a 3.5mm headphone plug with a tread that allows the fitting of a 1/4 inch plug (yes we all have) So when the 1/8 inch jack is put into the reciever the tread for the 1/4 inch adaptor shows. It looks like the jack is not fully home and leaves about 8mm of the adaptor thread showing. It...

    Gear sounds worse after "burning in"?

    "Electricity does not work like that" Headphones are electro mechanical it is the mechanical side I was refering to. AS far as electron flow efficiency goes thats for debate but I think its BS

    Gear sounds worse after "burning in"?

    "Burning in"........ well that depends on the driver design. there are so many mechanical/material variables: Headphones to a certain degree "burn in" but to what degree is not consistent "Burning out" is the question here. It depends again on the driver design and materials used. There are...
