Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
It's been a long time coming: I've finally replaced my old (2011-2013, can't remember) original single-wire venom cable. I bought the original cable second-hand and one of the wires snapped -- it was known for being fragile and I had moved around a lot thru the years. I placed an order with...- TK277

Seattle Spring Meet at BottleHeadquarters 4/25/2015 impressions
Lots of smiles at the event! Here are some pics. Also I thought the WA7 sounded heavenly with the LCD-3s. First amp outside of my Mjo that I thought did an exceptional job with the LCD-3s. Audeze EL-8s sounded exceptional when I tried that out as well. Clean sound. I'm a sucker for...- TK277

Schiit Owners Unite
I would agree that buying direct and ordering the cables from them is the way to go. I believe in Schiit when it comes to Audeze. I used their PYST for about a year – perfect length for stacking. Get nice and comfortable with the system before looking for things to upgrade...going in with all...- TK277

I agree; I just wasn't prepared for the (seemingly) random offshoots into character backgrounds. But, it all makes sense in the end.- TK277

HD800/LCD2 and Amps
Ah, cool! the Mjo is a great amp. I think you'll enjoy it, especially when you get a pair of LCD headphones. Happy listening!- TK277

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
I haven't ever used the wood polish thing on my LCD-3s. I don't know if the previous owner did... but it's nearing a year that I've owned these... the finish is pretty smooth on these, I don't know if they're coated or treated with anything... would hate to see them crack.- TK277

HD800/LCD2 and Amps
I've seen people go either way on the HD800s. The pairs I listened to were using Solid State Schiit (the Ragnarok, actually), but I see a lot of Senn fans use tubes. It seems like a waste to buy "budget" gear to go with a flagship headphone, but if you're going to upgrade in the next 6 months...- TK277

In need of recommendation for a good IEM
If you like bass the IE80 would work for you... the Westone 4 (W40 these days?) may also be a good match; they aren't bassy out of the box, but with foam/comply tips they start to emphasize bass (foam tips included with W40). Throw in a BTG-Audio cable and the bass will receive another bump.- TK277

HD800/LCD2 and Amps
Having listened to HD800 straight out of a box and an HD800 tricked out with audiophile cables and reverse-phasing, I still prefer the LCD house sound for rock. HD800 have unparalleled width, but the mids and bass are my cup of tea, which the LCDs cater to me. I listen to a lot of alt/space/mod...- TK277

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
I don't feel qualified to say that the Rok is only a touch more resolving than the Mjo. I didn't get to A/B test in a quiet environment. I merely brought my LCD-3 to meets that had the Rok and listened that way. What I do feel comfortable saying is that I don't plan to upgrade to the Rok...- TK277

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
I use the Mjolnir with my LCD-3 and I have nothing but praise. I've auditioned the 'Rok with my LCD-3 at a couple of meets and I still love my Mjo.- TK277

On mobile device as I watch AGDQ... Wanted to drop in and say that I enjoyed Mawaru Penguindrum even tho I didn't get it. The Penguin charas were hilarious and the "Rock over Japan" single is in my music library. Thanks for reminding me of Fabulous Max, too. Too good.- TK277
