That's interesting, I want to buy a stealth or organic, but the synthetic pads and headband are not something I like, so I can consider making a pair of real leather pads, and maybe also a real leather headband, as those seem easy to take off and replace.

Thanks for the reply, would you have some pictures of them and idea of the price?

I bought one litz silver cable, I feel more result in higher frequencies, more because of the silver material than the litz structure. However the plugs are poor quality, especially on headphone side, this is quite a problem as no high end 2.5 mono plug seem to exist (PM-1 or hifiman type)

Hi, I bought built cable for my oppo PM-1 but the plugs on headphone side are much lower quality than the original oppo plugs, the fit is not firm enough and you get sound losses because of the gap. So I would like to know what plug I can find to get very good quality. In the worst case, I may...

Hi if you are ok to ship to France I would be interested.

hi can you tell me the specs, especially the output using the balanced? European version has terrible output power, but maybe us version is better, in that case I may be interested. Also is the plug usb-c type? Sorry I didn't see you don't ship abroad.

I upgraded from 120II The sound on sr25 is less detailed especially treble, missing the grain I like in the 120II. Another thing I hate is the file storage. On the 120II i have all in files, artist names and inside, albums oldest first, nothing else, no "eq setting" or "images" or "music". I...

It seems there are absolutely no replies. So this is what I found after listening to both devices: The 120ii has more detailed trebles and more grain in sound, as the SR25 is more round, regarding sound, both scenes, and frequency response seem quite similar except that, I personally prefer the...

Hello, I own a AK 120II for many years now, and I am thinking about replacing for a more powerful device, and I was thinking about the SR25II, as the 4.4 line out is good enough for my use. I wanted to know the sound signature and details, maybe someone heard both players and had luck to...

wow that was a good deal! I owned a PM-3 in the past, sadly that pleather was a very bad choice, I now own a stock PM-1, I found new for very decent price. How would you compare the PM-1 and PMX1 sound?

I can't tell you about the ER4P, but this is what I can tell you regarding ER4XR I like quite neutral sound of my PM-3 but I wanted compact stuff even before purchasing it back in 2015. I purchased 1+2 first, following advice, they hurt my ears, physically and sonocally, I sold them. Then I got...

hello, you can get custom seal mold to your reas from etymotic.I am quite happy, these are the first universal IEM's I can wear several hours, no way to order customs IEM's my cochlea is too small, and my channel is also narrow, but the etys are working. For custom seal, you need to send them...

It's funny to read that thread. One guy saying we are hipsters and saying apple products are not good, explaining how a apple enthusiast will tell apple products are good, and same way how a beats enthusiast will say beats products are good. I have a very very small experience on beats...

After making lots of searches, I found premium quality RCA using siler core, and premium quality XLR plugs, using solid copper or solid silver pins. I also found good level TRS jack plugs, especially the oyaide silver-rhodium plated ones. But... Absolutely no premium TRRS jack sockets, either...

Please get sure it will change the 2.5 TRRS L-L+R+R- to L+R+R-L-, on the 2,5mm Ak the mases are on tip and base, on the standart 3,5mm the masses are both on base.    ...

I meet quite a big issue, some files, especially large files totally dissapear, I don't konw why and how, I use "android file transfer " on a 2010 imac I put a large progressive rock file yesterday and listened it a couple pf hours ago and it has totally disapeared. Is there a reason, is is...

I was VERY interested in their clip on ribbon tweeter for carfi use, it was in 2010 or so, then I forget my car fi project, but I am thinking about true ribbon again, and checked their website, found this headphone project, and try to get news. Would someone have some news about this project...

I wanted to know if only AK 2.5mm balanced plugs are R-R+L+L- or if all 2.5 plugs are similar ?!

DOes anyone know how the numbers work? Mines are numbered 1212405 and 406 and written 5 and 6 on front of the box.

I actually have the 1+2 with silver-gold balanced cable, and I think these are a bit sparkling  treble, I noticed the 10K hz peak by myself, and discovered there is also the 6K peak, probably the reason why they sound quite"metallic" to my ear. I would bet they cut off at 15-16K hz or so. I...

Could be happy to help on test if you want. I have a pair of tralucent 1+2, a Oppo pm-3 and a hifiman HM-901 to put them on. It can make a good comparation, a weel known existing IEM and a over ear compact closed set-up. I would be happy to help for your project, not a problem for me.

Here are some pics of what I made in the past:  

I like some scottish drinks, ambient temperatures, some drops of water, or none, sometimes with a good coffee, alternatively coffe and speyside, sometimes only whisky, but more some shores or more smokey taste. I have some good glasses, with aroma dispender, and round shape, and a small silver...

elements pt 1 from stratovarius, just listenable on youtube, a shame because these guys are good.

I was knifemaker a long time ago, now I make costumes and replica props, especially Star Wars and Harry Potter props, I'm buying a home, maybe I will try to make knives again, because it's quite easy to do, compared to replica props, and has high value for collectors.    ...
