Any other reviews besides Mike? After all his praise makes it hard not to preorder.
Thanks!!
SO sorry I didn't get into this Thread earlier fellas!!
And my praise for the Glove Audio A1 + my AK120 has turned into pure love for this stunning product from @mgoodman and the CEntrance team!!
Driving the new Audeze open-back EL-8 makes for a seductive and enveloping portable rig!!!!
After my review was published at Part-Time Audiophile I took my Glove (YUP, grabbed-up my review unit almost immediately) to our last San Francisco Head-Fi Meet to see how other Head-Fiers reacted to it. Most people that tried it simply couldn't believe it!
Sonically-speaking, my Glove Audio A1 + AK120 does things occasionally that I prefer to my AK240! Example: Utilizing the RSA balanced output on the Glove renders more vivid/lifelike vocals and a broader stereo image than the 2.5mm balanced output on the AK240 often (NOT all the time - but when it does - its smacks the sonics of the AK240 down, IMHO...
Sure, you sacrifice cool features that you could get on the AK240, like WiFi capability and MQS Streaming - but when you consider the difference in price?!?!?!
I have to continue this ASAP - as Alexandra's health has deteriorated again - but I'll be back!!!!
