Of course it's the HE-6 + F1J rig. However, I think I'm going to work on a Stax rig next.

Never been a fan of Schiit gear personally with either the LCD-3s or HD800s. Its well priced and gives pretty good price-to-performance ratios.

Umm...those are some of the very best amps with the LCD-2s that one can use.

My experiences as well. I sold my LCD-2 about 2 days after as well (maybe even a day later).

David - Curiously, what is the cabinet that houses all those gears? And does one or some of the compartments lock?

Interesting question
I designed the cabinet myself using google sketch. I went looking for the diagrams I made when I sketched it up, but I can't find it now. It's been a few years. I then had a furniture builder put it together with me.
The real tedious part was actually cutting the foam which lays on each shelf. The cube spaces created by the shelves are lined from top to bottom with quarter-inch open cell foam but on the the shelves themselves there is an extra layer of closed-cell foam underneath the open cell foam. It wasn't fun at all to do, but it seems to have protected the headphones from dust, dings and moisture fairly well.
Nothing locks here....my one regret in designing it is that I didn't create a way to protect the amps from dust.

Don't laugh buddy. You know how hard those cats from Minnesota are, right? He's probably already driving your way with an ice scraper and a moose antler he's wielding as a club to come rob you. Better pack it all up and drive down to Texas. The Bronx is no longer safe.

I ask because no matter how well meaning some folks are, some simply cannot navigate the world without touching, turning, pulling, pushing. Especially Audio gear - see a knob or a switch and... Further, some aren't even aware of their movements and habits. Be it inside stores or someone's home. I've actually watched
some nervous habits play out in horror.
Some things, like a transformer-coupled vacuum tube amp for example, should not be turned on & off on & off and so on. Because I'm moving shortly and will need a new audio rack anyway...
I want something I can lock yet, pays attention to good sonics.

You said that Lyr/LCD-3s aren't a great match, what's a good much for the 3, range 1 to 2K. You said also LF, WA22, B22, or GS-X was a good much for the LCD2, how about the Woo6SE? Are they good or excellent for the audeze?

P.O.S? Preferred Over Sennheisers?
![size]](http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies/o2smile.gif[size=13px][/size])
As far as $700 headphones go, the he500 is exemplary, and the grado ps500 is ...
Well, p.o.s.500.
Just my opinion, having owned the grado and currently owning the he500.
P.O.S? Preferred Over Sennheisers?
