Nice review. Thanks for taking the time and trouble.
I was impressed with your un-broken in D7000 at the Austin meet. As you know, I bought an LCD-2 not too long afterwards. Didn't like it. The one at the meet sounded better to me, but with the front door open (LOL?), how could anyone get much of an accurate impression? Aside from what I perceive as a dull high frequency problem on my unit, there is something about planars that I just can't make friends with. Is it the texture, is it the attack? I don't really know except that I've owned Maggie 3.6s and some of those things translate to the phones. My friend's HE-5LE gave me the same feeling but the highs were more present. So, for now, I'm still a dynamic driver person. Last week, I jumped on a D7000 re-furb for $600 including s&h (before your good review) through Amazon. Hope I haven't made a mistake. Maybe they'll work just fine out of the box (not LOL). Everybody's taste, ears, perception are different. Maybe that's one reason there are so many cans on the market. And, that's a good thing. I hope you enjoy your HE-500.
