Advice for getting back into things.
Interesting, maybe I'll let the change jar fill up until I can at least get a 2.. If not a 3 again.- Dustandshadow13

Advice for getting back into things.
Hey guys, at the beginning of the year I had to sell off my LCD3s and my Mjolnir/Gungnir stack. Things are much better now and I'm looking at getting a new pair. I absolutely loved the way those sounded. Anyone know of anything under $1000 that be similar?- Dustandshadow13

Is burn in real or placebo?
I bought a used of LCD-3s and a Mjolnir/Gungnir a month ago. When it first came I more or less thought it sounded terrible. I was used to listening to DT-990s so the difference from a "bright" headphone to a "dark" headphone were way too much for me to handle. The warmth was absolutely...- Dustandshadow13

WASAPI.. Am I doing it right?
Thanks for getting that all in one place for me. I was getting confused searching between threads while I was trying to figure that all out. I was confused on whether or not the WASAPI would work on the optical. I assumed it was since I noticed a bit of a playback quality increase in some...- Dustandshadow13

WASAPI.. Am I doing it right?
I just read about WASAPI and got it set up in foobar2k. Everything seems to be okay, the volume control isn't working, I have bit-perfect audio checked in record mode, the output is exclusive etc.etc. However, I read about how X-FI sound cards (I have a Titanium HD) aren't compatible. My...- Dustandshadow13

Testing audiophile claims and myths
I just got done reading that 12 page whopper on USB cables in the PC Audio forum and I really must say. I listen to Coast to Coast AM at work for what I will describe as "for fun". I don't believe in UFOs, or shadow people, or homeopathy. I think it is all nonsense, and science says it is...- Dustandshadow13

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
Yea, it was definitely the mastering, so much clipping! That and the dark tilt, that tends to render the sound of some bands in a way that I am not used to. I've been listening to extra bright Beyers until now.- Dustandshadow13

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
That's what I figured I am hearing. I didn't hear that the with my previous DT-990s due to the recessed mids and brightness. I have similar new stuff that sounds fine but there is some that just sounds like there is a blanket thrown over it. I'm not too good at describing what I hear but...- Dustandshadow13

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
I've been listening to my LCD-3s for a week now and I find myself impressed yet let down at the same time. Some of my music sounds incredible, but some of it sounds messy. The stuff that sounds a mess is a lot of the newer metal that I like. It seems like all I am hearing are the mids and no...- Dustandshadow13

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
Yea, it was the best setup I could afford. I ended up getting everything used for well under $3000. I've heard many good things about the schiit stack. I don't doubt that it will be worth it.- Dustandshadow13

So I have a pair of LCD-3s and a Majolnir/ Gungnir combo on the way. Currently I listen to Dt-990s from a WA3 with no DAC. I'm hoping this thing knocks me out of my chair! :)- Dustandshadow13

Pittsburgh PA Area Meetup!
I've got DT-990s and a WA3 with Lcd-3s and a Mjolnir/Gungnir combo incoming. I'd be interested. -
The next step?
I'm thinking about upgrading my source as well. Any thoughts on Mjolnir/Gungnir with the LCD 3? That's about the absolute extent of my budget.- Dustandshadow13

The next step?
I was hoping I could find a used pair. I got that overpriced vibe from my research.- Dustandshadow13
