Went a little overboard on a Tokyo shopping trip during vacay.

Was happily rocking a ZX2 but ended up picking up this AK120ii at a price I couldn't refuse - came out to about ~$450usd second hand. Can't say too much re: sound at the moment but the interface and form factor is a nice change from the zx2.

Then ended up splurging on these noble kaiser encore's - originally went into e-earphone to pick up the CA andromedas (which aren't actually cheaper in JP; with tax free and exchange rate its about the same price as buying direct from CA); but made the mistake of listening to the kaiser encore's which they had on demo and yeah...

One quick note about the AK120ii - it says the microsd capacity is only 128GB max, plus the 128GB onboard - but my 200GB microsd card is working fine. Got 128GB onboard + 200GB microsd for ~320GB usable total.

One other quick ask - anyone have any recommendations on a good 2.5mm trrs cable for the noble 2pin? Would prefer thin silver pliable cable with small connectors. Got a nobunaga 2.5mm silver plated trrs 2pin, but the right earpiece connector was *so* difficult to push in.. when I went back to the stock noble cable, it went into the right earpiece super easily - i'm afraid the NL cable connectors loosened up the fittings :frowning2:

That cable looks amazing. How is the new Primacy? Are those the tips that came with it?

My review is ready to post. I'll get it up tonight after work. But here's a spoiler: They have a very pleasant, relaxing sound.

Switched it up a bit, waiting on my wood cups to fully cure before swapping them onto these, loving the d2ks fun signature, a very good lunch break enjoying these today.20171024_122215.jpg
