Some cold, hard, truth. Thank you for the honesty, and not letting placebo rule your impression. First time on this thread where a new pad didn't blow the prior pads away.

Haha yeah, well when I tried them in the store they did sound quite good unfortunately...
Oh I got to listen to the lcd2s and lcd3. First impression of the lcd2: Dat bass, first impression of the lcd3 Dat BASS.

Did you finally get that lcd2 you were hunting for?

Yeah, have had them for quite a bit already. Depending on when/how the Kingsound Emperor elctrostatic sounds (which apparently will rival the LCD2), I may put the LCD2 for sale. I'm on an electrostatic kick right now. Blown away by the SR-407 and really liking the ESP 950 atm.

That heavy impulse to try new things its yet again, lol.

Hmm I'm also very curious about those. This hobby is escalating quickly.

$500 for a warmer electrostatic, and $300 for it's amp which apparently has a sub bass boost? YES PLEASE.

The only other alternative is the ESP 950 for that price, and while I'm in love with the ESP950 atm, it ultimately reminds me of an open Mad Dog. A bit too safe sounding for my taste. I miss the SR407 and LCD2's more aggressive sound.

That's not really expensive at all D: 
Let us know how this works out, I feel another (justified) hype coming.

Electrostats in general are special...

Wow that came out better than I expected. What color you plan on doing the HE-400?

I'm not sure.. Possibly green of some sort. Will post more pictures when my plane lands.

Has anyone been dumb enough to try the shure 840 pads on these? I was sitting here, my shures next to the he400s, and went, hmm. They fit, even with the foam ring also inserted underneath. They arent what id call an optimal fit though.So, lets see how bad this sounds....

 

[davidsh]

Through those foam rings away! That is the general consensus...

Ultra Matte gray or black would be very cool.

slippery slope and all that

Isnt taking the rings out only for the jergpad modded pleathers? Or does it improve the velours too? And by the way, No-Go on the 840 pads, they honestly didnt sound bad, but since they have a thicker fabric between the pad and driver, they were not as crisp and clear. Everything became a little muffled, highs got distorted and the bass became muddy, more bass presence but muddy. Anyhow it took me all of ten minutes to try so no harm no foul.

It was a good experiment! Not dumb at all to try new things!

Velours don't have the spacers in them.
