Still need to do some wire management. But current state. LCD-X HD58x Yamaha HS5's Loxjie P20 rolled with matched GE 5670's Massdrop/THX AAA 789 Topping DX7s FosiAudio Tube Phono Preamp Thorens TD318 / AT VM540ML cartridge

When the elitist chimes in, yet doesn't provide any helpful information to the thread besides "I have the best amps." Lol. Okay?

I had the same question at one point.. Was told wait for the THX.. Because it competes with more expensive amps.. Glad I waited for it.. Because it's great. But I dont think the next drop will be for awhile.. So you would have a longer wait than I did.

Yeah I tried that.. Doesn't have any issue. So maybe Kathos is right.. My amp sits on a wooden desktop

My setup is Enog2 Pro => 789 => LCD-X.. Haven't ever had this happen. Tried your examples. Nothing, but dead silence. Maybe it's the mimby? Or your connection? Or your player. I had some static/peaky noise in songs one day.. Closed app. Opened back up and was gone. Hasn't returned since...

So I'm assuming it sounds better than the CTH?

Thanks, but just another hobby.

Lol I envy your cans.. I wanted the Ether 2's, but it's a bit out of my reach.. I definitely want to try that DAC, too. Seems like plenty are raving about it.

Z270X-Gaming-k7 mobo. Don't remember what was on it.. But pretty damn good sound for onboard.

Yeahup.. The balanced cable is my next purchase and likely Dekoni hybrid pads.. Because I cant stand leather.. Okay at the moment but spring/summer.. Wouldnt even be able to use the headphones.

I have the Magni 3.. It's been in the box since I got it because it's not as clean or as powerful as my onboard sound card that has a stock headphone amp. Should give you an idea.. It was more powerful than the Magni 3 and a cleaner sound. The THX is a lot more powerful than what I had and a...

I agree with the people recommending Audeze LCD's. Just got the LCD-X yesterday. Replaced DT 1990's, which became too bright and fatiguing after I got the THX. I like a more neutral/balanced signature.. And the LCD-X is neutral/balanced, but slightly warm to me. Bass is nice, clean and very...

Just came in yesterday. Paired with the THX I got in the last drop.
