You are right Stereo is only doing the preorder thingy. They mention by end of this week if no delays.

Stereo sells them, tried them at the store.

Surprised iFi went the 2.5mm route, 4.4mm pentaconn would have been a better choice.

Not sure if Stereo will bring them to canjam but you can also get from their website with free shipping.

I remember the E50 has a darker and more recessed mid range, bass is tighter at the LS200 iirc.

They should be closest to the Ety in terms of sound signature.

Cheaper here with free shipping. http://www.stereo.com.sg/audio-technica-ath-ls200is.html   Let me know if I'm not allowed to post links.

I do not understand why you would "intentionly" set the IDSD at normal gain to burn in but given your comment that the volume was minimum at normal gain, there is a possibility of channel imbalance. You could have just set eco and burn in at moderate volume.....   There are quite a few great...

The normal setting is way too high for the LS400, what is your normal knob at? 9oclock?

By the way I tested it with the IFI IDSD BL with files ranging from WAV to FLAC.

Just pop by our local store to try the new LS400, OMG.... this has to be the worst flagship I've ever heard. The treble was roll off, mids were recessed and muffled and bass was loose and uncontrolled. It was so bad I had to ask the store manager if this was a faulty unit. Guess what? Apparently...

Thanks.

How do you do a "front vent" mod? And where do you guys get your JVC's FW01 online from?

If you happen to stay in Singapore and auditon UM at the local headphone store then the flagship exclusive Legacy here should sound more neutral than the miracle. Too bad its only available in Singapore...

Stereo finally ranging them in this Saturday, can try but wayyy beyond my budget. https://www.facebook.com/stereoelectronics/photos/a.376901871764.166268.360820046764/10153485880146765/?type=3&theater
