Obviously there are no perfect headphones and there are many things to look at, so say I'm looking for HP which deliver speakers-like presentation as my current HD650 do. Which attributes make a HP so? From your experience do some HP successfully sound more "live" than that or mimicking speakers...

solid state, not a fan of tubes with the lcd3     options I'm looking at:   mjolnir (mjolnir 2) bryston bha1     anyone else have any suggestions?

I just got the LCD-3 that I'm running off the Vali at the moment, it sound great, but what is the best tube amp or SS for the LCD-3 I should buy?   I like to listen to classic, jazz, vocal mostly.    At the store I had the opportunity to try the Woo 6, but I felt that the bass was a bit...

Woo Audio just posted this to their Instagram page what do you guys think?         Here is the link: http://instagram.com/p/tatQY9sraW/

Hi everyone, I want to find an amp for both hd800 and lcd3. Now I am interested in GS-X, wa22, DNA stratus. GS-X is really good but I think I should wait a long time to buy a new one. Some people say that wa22 is not so suitable for lcd3, so really do not know which to choose..... by the way...

I just wanted to leave my impressions regarding this amazing little headphone amp after recently dropping in on fellow head-fier and Brilliant Zen Audio owner Mike Mossey. Mike has a partnership with K Works wizard Igor Kuznetsoff, who recently developed the pint sized powerhouse Bravissimo...

Hello   Im getting back into highend cans after selling my HD800 about 2 years ago.   I have so far settled on buying Audeze LCD-3 but im trying to figure out what amp to buy. I have around 1500-2000$ to spend after i buy the headphones. Im looking at buying the Auralic Taurus and sticking...

edit: closed and moved to LCD3 thread for advise 

i have some money to spend on something from 1000 to 2000 on headphone equipment.   i have not heard all these i mentioned. i can go to a shop for the hd 800 and lcd3.   i am just thinking trying something totally different. something without magnets inside.   also i see good feedback on...

Hello Head-Fi,   It is about time I registered here, especially now that having a floorstanding stereo setup is no longer feasible for me and am restricted to headphones only.   I am currently trying to decide what purchase would be best for me, debating between three headphones: Ultrasone...

Having heard some old-time goodies like Sennheiser HE-90, Stax Omega II and Sony R10, and owning 5 pairs of AKG K1000 currently, I have not been particularly impressed with the previous generation of flagship headphones (HD650, K702, DT880, some woody Audio Technicas) for playing classical and...

I've been thinking if I should buy an Audeze LCD-2 + Moon-Audio Silver Dragon V3 Headphone cable + Moon-Audio Silver Dragon V3 USB-cable + Alo Audio Pan Am + Passport battery pack,   Or an Audeze LCD-3 with just the stock cable + cheap USB-cable + Alo Audio Pan am without Passport battery...

Hello, wise audiophiles!   For a long time I've had a setup consisting on the venerable HD800's, and HeadRoom's UltraDesktopAmp/DAC. They've served me well, but I always thought the sound was a bit too "dry" and bright. I heard Audeze's LCD-3s the other day, and I decided to switch to those...

Hi ,   I know the whole logic works differently with headphones and speakers, but just wondering what it is like    a properly mated ( Good amp , aftermarket cables XLR, Good Source like DSD files ect) pair of Audeze LCD3s sound quality is similar to   a what kind of a speaker system ?  ...

I have had my LCD-3's for a few weeks now and I am very happy with them. Now I am wondering if my existing setup is doing them justice and what amp would be the perfect match. LCD-3 Sony SCD777ES SACD Chord DAC64 Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear Thanks for any advice.

I recently purchased an AK240 and a Schlit Mjolnir amp that are connected via Moon Audio balanced cables (2.5mm TRRS to dual XLRs) and auditioned via Audeze LCD-3 (Moon V3 cables).  I immediately became aware of RFI and what appeared to be a ground hum when the volume control was advanced beyond...

Hi all,   I've been waiting for my LCD-2s to arrive since placing an order in early February, and just got this update from my excellent dealer today -- I haven't seen this posted on a brief search, so perhaps it might be of interest to some of you:   ------ Copy from forwarded email...

I think the above equation "sums" up my question.   Regarding budget, I'm assuming improvements on the HD600 will require entering Summit Fi territory. The LCD3/HD800 are the most expensive headphones I'd consider buying.   Depending on which headphone comes closest to the sound signature I...

I recently purchased the Mjolnir/Gungnir stack for my LCD-2's and love the obvious improvement (to me, anyway) of going the balanced route. Now, after reading all of the (mostly) positive reviews on the new LCD-X, I am considering an upgrade to either the LCD-X or LCD-3s. I have PM'd some...

Hi, I'm curious what other people think are the best headphones for watching movies and why?  Price is no object.  If your answer depends on your amp, please list the amp as well.

i auditioned some headphones last week and it was my first time hearing anything in that price range.  Lcd-3, Abyss, lcd-xc i thought i had a good grasp the sound of each...for the most part.  I knew what the amp was that was driving them for the most part, the Cavalli LiquidGold. Sidetrack; i...
