Any word yet on whether the LCD-3 pads will be available to buy separately?

Wow, Audio Addiction is really coming through for us in Melbourne.

Great review, appreciate the effort.

Quote: Actually, I got it brand new with the 10% discount during September. You can definitely hear the difference switching between the DAC's, the HRZ having more sparkle and the NOS smoothing things out which is handy for harsh recordings. The balanced upgrade isn't necessary so if you...

I got a fully upgraded Isabellina (ProDAC, Balanced and 12v output) for $3150 recently and I'm very happy with it. Previously I was using the Meier Concerto and StageDAC combo and to me it's a big jump up with the LCD-2's. I also received the Mullard I bought from eBay and rolled it yesterday...

While we're on the topic of RWA, I placed an order for a fully upgraded Isabellina today. Looking to get some recommendations on tube upgrades as Skylab mentioned in his AE review that it responded well to rolling. This will be my first tube experience so some guidance would be great.  ...

Great review, I think you just convinced me to get a fully upgraded Isabellina, which if I'm not mistaken is basically the same as the Audeze Edition without the red knob.   Anyway, I really appreciate your thoughts and they cleared a lot of things up for me.

Quote: As am I. I have until the end of September to figure out whether or not to go for an Isabellina.
