  Furthermore, all universal IEM orders originating from the UK will now ship direct from London.

 
Great news! Any idea when to expect a Kaiser 10U restock?

No idea.

That would suggest that you are not too bothered about selling K10u's. A replacement on the way?

I'm on the fence between the K10U and the K10.   I can tell you if the K10U was in-stock, I would have bought it just to HAVE IT NOW!   lol
 
Still fence sitting at this point.

Apologies. I did not intend to feed the rumour mill. Just a little puzzled at Brannans rather abrupt response.

When a holiday gets thrown into the mix it makes projecting events a bit more difficult if not impossible

Ah well, at least this way there is a chance that the euro might recover again.
If only waiting was a bit easier... >_<

I'm about to go travelling with the k10's. So far I've been using a Sony Xperia z2 as source.

Can anyone recommend a decent all in one source with:

1. great sound quality / synergy with the k10's.
2. Good to excellent battery life.

Budget of £500-1250

Any ideas? Do they work well with an AK 100 Ii?

Bro,
 
 
Think about what you want to do with it, do u want to take it to the gym, just in your pocket, which pocket? what size device will meet all your needs?  FOr me, i have to have something i can attach to my arm at the gym with one of those velcro straps, for you that may not matter.
These are the best IMO and I WOULD NOT buy any of themnew, right now there is an new condition AK240 in the for sale section for $1700, you could probably tak the guy down to $1500.  Whereas you would pay nearly double new.
Anyway, within your price range:
rwak100
rwak120ii(used)
pono
ak120ii
ak100
Thats the best in my opinion

also the calyx m is within your range.

I'm currently researching the new Sony NW ZX2:

I did recently with my K10U some direct comparison between ZX2, ZX1, AK100II and AK120II and I preferred by a large margin the AK players sound with the K10, especially the AK120II. The pairing is just incredibly beautifull. There is a coherency with the AK players that the sony players don't reach. AK100II vs AK120II, the 120 felt slightly more balanced and resolving, the 100 felt slightly warmer and slightly less resolving, both were outstanding and better than the more clinical sony ZX2 and the more V shaped sony ZX1.

Couldn't agree more.
