I have an audio-gd HE-9 with my LCD2C and LCD2rev2 and this one is a killer. It really gives the power and precision that perfectly match the audeze. Bass is particularly impressive.
I'm curious as to why you assume the Schiit amplifier will be somehow superior to the Audio-gd? I've heard both and to my ears the Chinese product sounded significantly more sorted.I have been thinking about Schiit Mjolnir and i might pull the trigger on it Even tho i got that Audio-GD NFB 28.28 but i can use it as an DAC for Schiit Mjolnir.
Well it is not that but that mjolnir has TUBEs Im looking for second amp beside to Audio-GD. I know NFB28.28 is killer good amp/dac i just want "colored" sound too. NFB28.28 is clean and sharp as katana (samurai sword) So i am keeping Audio-GD too. Except maybe upgrade it to a Audio-GD Master 11 or so this year.I'm curious as to why you assume the Schiit amplifier will be somehow superior to the Audio-gd?

I have owned both an A-GD balanced amp and a Mjolnir. I much preferred the MJ. More dynamic and I appreciate the ability to contour the sound with the tubes. That said, if you’re looking for that really warm lush tubey sound, it’s tough to come by in a balanced tube amp at your price point. I really like my Woo WA22, but it’s $2k and still not what I’d call lush. That sound you’re after usually comes from SE tube amps like the Ampsandsound Kenzie. The Kenzie is my go to amp for tube warmth.AHaa ok. Yes im after that extended soundstage and buttery sound. I might go as high as 1-2K$ as price goes.
Has anyone paired a JDS Labs El amp or The Element with their LCD2?
