really sorry to hear it. would have hoped that they had continued to face their obligations re: failed drivers.

I normally drive my Ether Flows with a Burson Soloist, and love them. My portable rig is a Resonessence Labs Herus+, Foobar for Android on a moto g5 and Sennheiser IE800S iems. The Herus would drive the Ether Flows, but not to full effect. Having added in the 1.1 upgrade, the Ether Flows sound...

applied the 1.1 paper decal to my Ether Flows. I love the change, and definitely hear it as an improvement. loved (and still love) the sound with no additional tuning pads, but also like the sound of all three pads. it will take me many hours of listening before I chose a favorite, or decide...

i finally got an IE800S in to compare with my IE800. once i gave myself time listening my initial reaction (that the regular ie800 was more fun due to being more dynamic,"punchier" and having more "snap" or something) was overridden by my enjoyment of what sounds like a slightly more refined...

my Ether Flows also love the sound signature of a Burson!

trust your ears! you loved the EFC when you were able to audition it, and you have all of us confirming that until you let them play for a lot of hours you won't hear what you heard then. so, trust yourself and it's hard but be patient. all the info you have confirms that you are on the right...

haven't tested a Hugo. but the mojo's amp and the Ressonessence Labs Concero HP's amp were both bested by the Burson Soloist, and by a long shot. i think the Soloist used goes for 500ish? yeah, it does. audiogon and headfi both sold in nov and dec from 400 to 500. worth considering maybe...

thanks for the great response, and the link to a new (for me) tube connection! .

are you using the basic level tubedac 3? what tubes have you happily rolled to?

never heard the X. loved my original lcd3's, and even more the 2016 reversion of the LCD-3. sold them when i got my ether flows. haven't regretted it.

i'm still blown away wowed and in love with how wonderful my Ether Flows sound. They are a pair that was converted by MrSpeakers from an Ether a few months back. I bought them used here for the smartest $1325 I've spent in audio in many decades. I also have LCD-3F 2016 version which I love and...

well, this may seem like a weird one, but... i bought a resonessence labs herus ( a dac/amp dongle) used here for the give away price of 170 bucks (350 new). i liked it so much a bought a concero hp from them. that sounds great too. more refined, ya da ya da. but then i got my ether flows, which...

epads. hmmm.... i said to myself listening to the smashing pumpkins and a hard day's night. i mean, ok, i get the difference - but i like the original pads a lot more. then i switched tracks with some acoustic jazz - 45 rpm blow yer mind pressing of Bill Evans' Moonbeams, and this brilliant...

cool. looking forward to testing them out. boy do i ever love these headphones!

they have shipped my epads out already. it's amazing what $89 will buy. or is it? just saw this: "IMO, adding the E stat pads, while expanding the soundstage, also add brightness to the top end. That is my impression, running through a Hugo and LC". not surprised and i bet it's so. so far...

thought i'd report in my findings re: the dac of the RS185. just got a pair. i think i'll like em just fine! but despite the good sense Mark2410 is making when he suggests that the dac is likely to beat the dac of the tv or whatever source here's my tale: When i buy a tv i do it for the default...

guess i'm way late to the party, but i just got ether flow's and think they may generally be the best can i've owned. still have and love 2016 lcd-3f, and for some rock cuts they please me more than the EF's, but not for very many so far. if this keeps up i may sell the audeze's. for once i'm...

yay, someone saw one of my pleas for help and turned the Password Assistance function back on. thank you!

indeed. i heard an ifi ican and it had the juice but i wasn't in love with the sonics. have you heard the concero hp with the lcd3?

just my two cents on the lcd-3 driven by the mojo: yes it will play, and with ok volume, but i owned the mojo and sold it because I was not pleased with the quality of this output. it is "just ok" compared to driving them with an amp that really has the umph. note the technical term "umph", use...

oh, i would so love this to be true to my ears also. i have a concero hp coming and had been thinking the lcd-3 would not be well driven by it. ordered it for use woth sine and th900

they have been incredibly great to deal with at every turn with me over the last few years, including when I had a driver fail. i have called when i've either needed help or had a question. an actual live human being has answered every time and i've received immediate assistance. that included...

well, i have the maxx "modded" Sine's, and i ain't given' em back! these are the only cans i've owned that don't get weird in some way when eq'd, and i'm blown away at how good they sound. been using with the Herus, which is great for the money but not as good as what i'm used to using so i'm...

whew. i just went through trying a gazillion different pairs of headphones. i wasn't thrilled with my 2012 classic lcd-3 so i sold em. then tried everything i could swing (anything i could get used for $1100 or less). finally was frustrated, like the baby bear trying the different chairs -...
