Hey Head-Fiers!
 
I'm psyched to join the team at Part-Time Audiophile.com
 
My original title for this article was:
 
Packin' an AK for Personal Audio
 
But I'm not the editor-in-Chief (who's a great guy and thinks big picture stuff, SEO, things like that)
so the title was changed to - and I feel funny sharing it because my name's in it and I don't wanna 
become that guy to refers to himself in the third-person:
 
 

Mercer’s Winning Combo: Astell & Kern, ALO and Audeze

(click on the title for the article LINK)
 
I wanted to write an article sharing my passion for this killer hi rez portable system:
 
Astell & Kern AK100 (mine supports AIFF, never had an issue)
ALO International headphone amp
Audeze LCD3 headphones.
 
Sincerely hope you dig it!!
 
 
Reviews coming up:
 
Burson Conductor headphone amp/DAC/Line-stage
E.A.R HP-4 tube headphone amp
iFi iCAN headphone amp
Ray Samuels The DarkStar headphone amp
Sony PHA--1 iDevice/PC DAC&headphone amp
 
ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!!!!
 
Seriously - I was proud to see people try out the HRT microStreamer, so
what did you guys think of this piece?  I'm finding that enthusiasm can most
often be portrayed, rather ugly too I think, as "shilling."  I just wanted to report
on my favorite rig for High Resolution music playback.
 
 
Some stuff going on in the Sonic Satori Personal Audio Lab
