8600. Elrog 300B and telefuken signal tubes. Sounds like angels dancing in my ears.

I run the HE1000se from the speaker taps using a custom cable - you’ll either want to do that or mod the headphone jack output resistors to give a lower output impedance. The volume can be a little hot so you’ll likely want to attenuate that with a preamp, digital volume on a dac or just be...

Realise this might have already been asked, apologies if it has, my search-fu is lacking. Is scan music the only way to for new albums to show up? I buy a new album once or twice a month and it would be ideal if I could just add that album to the index, rather than scanning the entire card...

Bought on a whim but didn't end up using these much - that said they do sound great and are a solid intro to electo-stats. I've put maybe a couple of hours on them at most and they were in similar state when I got them. Some accessories were still wrapped. Comes with all original accessories...

I've decided it's finally time to part ways with my beloved A&K SP1000M. Since the start of lockdown I've hardly used it, relying on my desktop setup - prior to that used most days for the best part of a year or two. This player sounds absolutely fantastic, using two of the classic AK AK4497EQ...

Ha… ok, that explains Apple Music not working. I thought it was an android versioning issue. That’s a relief at least. I’m sure this will eventually get fixed but it sucks having to choose between Roon and decent sound without extra steps.

I tried a factory reset, followed by installing 1.52 (from file), then a factory reset, then an upgrade to 1.655 over wifi. I'm still getting the muffled sound on 1.66 unless I switch the DAC filter. I've decided to just stick with 1.52 for now which kinda sucks. @JasonNYC - I dunno if it'd...

Nice one. Thank you very much!

I’ve got a question about connected the SP1000M to an iPad Pro. I can get it working with the somewhat large AV Connection Dongle (the one with HDMI, USB-A and Thunderbolt), but does anyone know of a smaller dongle that will work (for example the apple usb-c to usb-a connector?). I’ve tried an...

I’ll try the factory reset. I’m normally not too fussy but this particular bug is SO very noticeable to me that it’s genuinely affecting my enjoyment. edit: sadly this did not work. The effect is not subtle. I tested with VE Monks and the sound quality change is obviously apparent even with them.

The SEX set to 4ohms was supreme with the original Aeon closed... I guess that's not what you asked directly but I haven't heard them sound even remotely as enjoyable on another amp - I think they really need more juice than most people give them.
