Actually it's the review that comes after every flagship model. I've read it for K701, HD800, T1, SR-009, D7000, etc. Only reviewer's and headphones' names change.

Rob, I didn't spend much time lately on head-fi because I'm very busy, but I just found out about your review and read it.

Just want to thank you for a very nice write up, as usual.

Head-fi hypes many stuff and persons, but you are the guy who really deserves the praise. As always, a great read with exactly the info I needed.

So I guess you're responsible for me buying this now.

Thanks for the effort and time you always put in these kind of things, head-fi ows you, I owe you.

So by having the new headphone cable when my LCD3's get here, I can brake them in at the same time.

 

Anyway thanks for thinking of me Skylab.

I have the DHC cable for my HE6 too and I really like it.  I was thinking of doing the same for the LCD3.

Hopefully Audeze is on target with their production units (rumours are saying as much), I'll be able to A-B them with my LCD-2. rev.2s sooner than later.

I think you totally misnderstood what I refer fast is, the LCD-3 target release date is 11/11/11 and Rob able to get his hands on a pair and get the review done.  I don't mean that Rob Micky mouse the review to be the first one publish it.

if not, try lowering the bass by 2db or 3db and then listen thru the hp. it really opens up the soundstage

and let's you know that the high freq. are all there, imo. i've been doing this with my sansui amps and find

it very satisfying with the original LCD2. i'm curious how this sound compares to the new LCD3?

Thanks for the tip. I will try that also via my Realiser, and yes I have found that you need to get the right balance of bass to get a better sound-stage.

Wow that's almost two Sennheiser HD800's or a Stax 007 MkII !  

It will have to be bl**dy good if its going to cost that much.

Having done so reviews I believe 10 days with plenty of hours is sufficient to do a review. When I do mine most times its over a two week period with many hours on them. I believe you can write a credible review as Rob did after spending almost two weeks and plenty of hours in their evaluation. My last two were the HE6 and the LCD2 and both were done after 2 weeks.

Hard to believe that no one in your area who owns a pair, maybe its a time to get your own

Sky, thanks for the review as usual.  Just a quick question.  What is the reason as to why you are holding on to the LCD2 v1?  I have the LCD2 V1 also and am thinking about selling it after I get my LCD3.  Do you think there is any aspect of V1 that you cannot get from the LCD3?  I also spent a lot of time with the LCD3 at RMAF and felt that if I get the LCD3, the LCD2 may not see a lot of use.

Off topic question: How do you pre-order the LCD-3, I remember reading somewhere that someone has cancel his pre-order LCD-3. I have been sending audeze emails, PM, phone call with zero response.

Thanks
