How Do you Test Headphones to see if They Are Good?
Listen to them and if you like them then they are good headphones. People hear differently and thus the definition of a "good" headphone varies. There will be people who tell you measurements matter and all that jazz but in my opinion it does not matter if a headphone has the best...- chunkfnk

Best headphone like LCD 2 without the weight?
Your point? What was the amp? I used a neutral HDVD800 DAC/Amp and the differences were minimal.- chunkfnk

Best headphone like LCD 2 without the weight?
Quote: Honestly, from what I heard when I tried them both back to back, they were pretty close in terms of treble.- chunkfnk

You could try the Sennheiser HD650. They may not have as much bass but they sound almost identical to the LCD-2s.- chunkfnk

Audeze LCD2 for bass heavy songs?
They are pretty good for bass heavy songs but they won't really cut it for classical in my opinion. They sound cluttered and it is almost like a wall of sound coming at you.- chunkfnk

Moving Into A Balanced Setup.
You could always go for the NFB 10.32 to save space and money. It's fully balanced and has balanced and single-ended headphone outputs and tons of power. Audio-gd favors optical so that would be your best bet. Or a USB to optical transport would work just as well if not better.- chunkfnk

HD800 owners in San Jose, CA area
Quote: Yep. They're not that far from San Jose. Just take 101 North until you get to Moffett Blvd and then take a left after you exit and keep going and it's before the train tracks. They're wonderfully helpful. I went there last week actually. They'll set you up and let you do your...- chunkfnk

Sennheiser HDVD800 Headphone Amplifier
Hey guys, so I got the chance to listen to this amp last week on a pair of HD800s at a store and the details of the music just blew me away! One thing that caught my attention and made my jaw drop to the floor was the detail it gave to string instruments and how natural the sound was. I...- chunkfnk

HEADPHONE MEET at the Headmaster in San Francisco 8/10/2013
Quote: Well then I'll be glad to bring them. I do still have the stock pads, I did the pad swap a few hours after I got the headphones but from what I could tell, the sound quality compared to stock is somewhat altered. The treble mellowed out and the bass feels tighter but the main reason...- chunkfnk

Thanks for the add Frank. I don't really have anything to bring unfortunately. I only have a pair of MDR-v6s with Beyerdynamic pads but I'm sure that's just boring compared to what everyone else is bringing. I look forward to meeting everyone though!- chunkfnk
