Thanks, is the wood or aluminum edition heavier?

Does anyone know if there is a good review of the aluminum edition (2016 rev) lcd-2 on sale right now? TiA

Is this yours? What are your impressions?

Sorry i think i read your post wrong. The original was usb powered, without the balanced out, the new version is ac powered with the balanced out. I thought you meant you wanted usb powered only

Yay the mystery of "what phones are in the release pic of the new hp-a4" has been solved!

Any update on US release date?

Thank you both! So can anyone compare the 2 as far as sound goes?

Hello, can anyone speak to the difference between these and the th500rp? In terms of sound and build. I can discern if these use the same driver or not? TIA!

Has anyone tried the lawton pads on the 500rp?
