thinking about possibly picking up the LCD3.

will the ALO Audio Pan Am amp that I just bought be able to drive them easily?
i read that its a good match for the LCD2, but I'm more interested in the 3.

thanks.

i'll be bringing it to the meet.  it should be 1 step further...which is, i'll have the front panels, they'll just be raw aluminum.  the rest of the amp has been done.  i'll bring along the LCD-3, hifiman he-500 & he-6, and akg k1000, all with balanced 4-pin XLR cables.

If the rumored new EC 2A3 does come out, it won't be $1500 either. It won't be anytime soon. I know he's busy testing the Electra.

I'm thinking of buying the headphone but i'm wondering how well they would do for when traveling to work riding the bus, is there allot of sound leakage? would the person sitting next to me be able to hear what i'm listening to?

 

Am looking at pairing it with the ALO Rx MK3-B, and theCypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo -dB so my main concern is how well the headphones would do around other people.

Any help would be great

Yes there is a LOT of leakage. They are completely open back design. So do consider your choice of music before inflicting it on your bus neighbour. To be perfectly honest, with headphones so large, I would feel uneasy and slightly embarrassed wearing them in public places...but that's just me.

Yeah i was kinda afraid that there would be a LOT of leakage, really do want a great pair of headphones but i really want detachable cables as i've had to much trouble with cables wearing out and it's hard to find a good closed pair with detachable cables so i thought of going with one of the best headphones.

A lot of better IEMs and pretty much all CIEMs have detachable cables.  Some closed on-ear and full-sized headphones do now as well.

AFAIK, Audez'e may be coming out with a pair of closed-back cans. May wanna check those out if they do come out. I think Jude did a pictures thread on them...

Yep, likely sometime in March. A little birdy told me the SQ is between the LCD2 and LCD3.

Yeah i saw the thread on the closed back one, they look perfect for my needs. Am glad to hear i'd only have to wait till march as i will grab a pair of these for sure.

Wasn't looking forward to paying $2000 and over for a pair of Fostex TH-900 when i can't even remove the cable or ear pads myself, so would of just added to the price to get all that custom.

Hopefully it won't be $4000, considering the inflation of headphones prices as of late.

Hopefully by March they'll have gotten it out of prototype. It did not even approach the LCD-3's performance. And for a closed can they have some stiff competition.

The TH900 is fantastic though. I was really surprised. Don't count it out just yet.
