Title: Anyone have an Astell &Kern AK70 mk II?
Post by: MakersMarc on October 14, 2018, 11:33:20 PM

About to pull the trigger, can't beat 12 months interest free financing at Newegg. Anyone care to share your thoughts on the sound? Or any issues?

Thanks, Marc

Are you going to get the spare volume knob, too ?

Decided to give an Activo. Ct10 a run. Reviews are fantastic and I really want MQA access via Tidal and AK70ii doesn’t have it. And it’s $299.

And my understanding is AK is responsible for what’s under the hood and Groover designed shell.
