Quote:   I haven't said anything against HE-400... Just that if he finds anything wrong with them, he should try to figure out what's wrong in fact in order to avoid disappointment in the future.

Quote:   LOL, I have only advised him what to do if he finds something wrong about the sound of his headphones... Don't you want to tell me then if HD600 measure significantly worse in terms of bass FR in comparison to D5000 that the bass amount is going to be the same in reality, do you...

Quote:   The problem I see here is that people tend to think the more open sound, the better... I do not see it this way. I have owned and heard pretty both pretty open or closed cans and do also prefer rather closed kind of sound. For spatial interpretation, I have TB Isone to do that...

Quote:   I am going to own my LCD-2 rev2 only and do not want anything else... They are just perfect for everything I want or am going to want in near future. It is not a rule even though the majority of people here would most probably find silly to say that they in reality only need one...

Quote:   I think it's more about the amp being coloured in a certain way that "works" better with HE-500...   I would say - use an neutral amp with LCD-2 rev2 or LCD-3, and a warmer one with HE-500.

Quote:   Oh, someone finds rev1 to be more comfortable, interesting to know! :-)   I can see that you like rev1 more... But do you find it more neutral, more versatile regardless the genre and quality? I've tried to EQ them a bit to get them nearer neutrality (against my already...

Quote:   From what I've read about E7 not offering complete 16bit depth in reality and their measurements not being very impressive, I would also at least upgrade on E17...

Quote:   Well, I cannot speak on synergizing etc. as I do not believe in it... I just want a neutral, transparent and powerful amp that is going to work with any pair of headphones that is able to sound great itself (like if you plug the phones directly to your laptop's output or to...

Quote:   Please let me know then what you think on their treble - if it is any offensive or so... If you have some neutral amp, that would be very nice to assess the phones on them. :-)   Official headphone seller from Slovakia told me that he would take both LCD-2 and LCD-3 anytime...

Quote:   Haha, interesting interpretation! Still, I would rather spend 1000USD on a pair of headphones and another 1000USD on music than 2000USD on phones that are going to be at best 15% better :-)

Quote:   I need to disagree here, at least based on my experience with rev2 version...   1) Rev2 version has revised pads and headband and I do find them comfortable enough for long listening sessions (I have had comfortable phones like D7000 or T50RP with FA-003 pads).   2) Rev2...

Quote:   If you really do not need to think about your money, grab LCD-3 (a new pair!) and/or Stax SR-009 (rather for top quality recordings I would say). As you said, LCD-3 are just a refinement of LCD-2 and are going to offer the most versatile performance. I would personally not buy...

Quote:   I even hesitated with option to hear them to "let my posts be more meaningful". But I realised that I would only disagree with my philosophy that if anything is better, it has to be objectively visible... I do not see LCD-3 to look or measure neither 2x, nor 1.5x better than...

Quote:   You cannot get me into the trouble... I wanted to be banned from this site myself. I am here only because of PMs I've got and because of Sell/trade section.   My posts are as meaningful as anyone is going to assess them...

Quote:   They are wrong in your opinion... I accept that.   I have tried to help and said anything I wanted... I am leaving this discussion now. I hope he is going to be satisfied enough with whatever choice.

Quote:   I am not sure here... Do you really think Audeze are not going to change their pricing in the future? Maybe not in a short term...   I think that if you have the money, you should go for LCD-3 (buy the newest possible). I am more concerned about the price than about their...

Quote:   I can talk on whatever I want... I have claimed that I have never heard LCD-3 as you can see.   I have been asked to say my opinion and that's what I did. Feel free to report my post if you want...

Quote:   I have had both amps... E9 is still neutral but is worse from the technical perspective. I do not find the E9 to be transparent enough. Also, the output impedance of 10 ohms is not very ideal for headphones with impedance up to 80 ohms.   It very depends on what you are...

Quote:   Well, I have discussed my issues with LCD-3 a lot here (and many people do not like that or tend to disagree). So I will try to be as objective as possible.   1) I do not find the treble of LCD-2 rev2 to be any harsh or overemphasised (and you can call me extremely sensitive...

Quote:   If you are deciding between HE-500 and LCD-3, I think there is no contest here really... If you have the money, you should go for LCD-3 and only hope you will be satisfied enough taking the crazy price into account. I would definitely not going to be satisfied with them for the...

Quote:   Of course you cannot... I just compared DAC sections of ODAC and Xonar essence ST, that's all :-) I think that Xonar cards are of very good value and the difference is not big but ODAC is for sure better if you realise its low price.

Quote:   I have Xonar essence ST and ODAC... I would say both have very very good DAC section but the amount of detail is even better with ODAC.   E11 is a very very good but a bit coloured amp... It depends on what you want from an amp. O2 is totally uncoloured and more transparent.

Quote:   LCD-2 rev2 are perfect (in terms of price/performance) for modern genres - pop, rock, metal (I listen to all of them)... They sound perfect regardless you like 80s or recent modern music. I do very like them with acoustic-guitar based music as well.   But I guess they are not...

Quote:   Well, it depends on what you are looking for...   I would definitely suggest you to get ODAC, it will blow you away by its performance (it's powered by usb cable).   And if you are after completely neutral and transparent amplifier, get O2 along as well. I have the combo...

Sell those HD800...
