Sweet, that's a nice match up size wise.
this is how an AK240 stacks with RXIII.
the angled edges help holding the stack beautifully. I sometimes believe the angled edges was meant for this purpose.
The Roxanne is a lot better. I have both of these at the moment. Also the fit and noise isolation on the Roxanne is also much better. The only thing is the price
Emailed Drew at Moon audio, a few days ago, he suggested cypher labs algorithm duet , which is also balanced,for the AK-240, but I haven't found a ton of people using them, read a few reviews, all very positive .
Talking about Roxanne, I'm extremely curious how AKR03 will turn out. I remember back then when K3003 got the spotlight on it, being described as amazing and all with doubled the prize tag of IE800... but when I went to compare them (before I owned IE800 so I got fresh ear to both pairs), IE800 won in an instant, which was why I ended up getting IE800.
I hear the Roxanne is a superb IEM, I have been reading there thread a lot, from what I gather, there are a lot of customer service issues, and long wait times. People love the quality once they get them
I read that too, but in terms of CIEM. Now, regarding Universal IEM I am not quite sure who provides the best SQ...
I emailed them last week and received a reply that they are not modding existing IE800s; only the ones that are bought new from them.
That's bad :/ Still no reply for them.
But can't really see myself buying a balanced IE800 when I already own it unbalanced, makes zero sense. Hence they won't get a dollar from me. Guess my money will go elsewhere if they're happy this way
I was going to sell the amp but not know, to my ears it's a match made in heaven.
Did you manage to try your roxanne on balanced cable with the AK240? I had been telling myself I have enough IEMs but my mouse cursor somehow is still always hovering on the checkout button....
