    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    The sound signature of Viking Ragar reminds me of Kaiser Encore, which I like a lot, being upgraded to a much higher level. Compared to other IEMs in my current collection, it outperforms Thummim LE in terms of stage width and holographic effects. Bass quality is very good, on par with Thummim...

    METAL MAGIC RESEARCH (Thoughts and impressions)

    All-rounder is exactly what LE has become.

    Thummim LE retains the original version's holographic soundstage. Detail retrival is still very good. I find bass has a well-controlled amount of body, no longer overwhelming like its predecessor. Mids are sweet with full and nicely layered body. Treble is pretty much the same.

    Sorry for late response. I was out of town. In my opinion, Thummim LE addresses its predecessor's bass that I find overwhelming. Now it has a well-controlled amount and no longer feels out of place. Mids have a full and nicely layered body. Treble is pretty much the same as the original...

    ALO Continental PortableTube Amp

    I am pairing ALO Continental with LCD2 (Rev2 with APS V3 cables) via a silver-copper hybrid LOD. The result is truly amazing. Tomorrow I will try it with JH16.

    LCD-2 and LCD-3 Owners - which aftermarket cable do you use?

    Quote: FedEx delivery van showed up this morning, and I have since been on a joy ride. My initial impression is that Q Audio cables add clarity without changing the overall sound signature of LCD2. I like that...a lot.

    LCD-2 and LCD-3 Owners - which aftermarket cable do you use?

    Quote: Haha ... Just said something along that line to my kid when he wanted an upgrade from DSi to 3DS

    LCD-2 and LCD-3 Owners - which aftermarket cable do you use?

    Quote: That's exactly what I would do.   Hope to get the cable around the same time as my Traformatic Experience Head One amp.

    LCD-2 and LCD-3 Owners - which aftermarket cable do you use?

    Thanks guys for very helpful information.   After going through this thread, I decided to get a replacement cable from Q-Audio ... and the now the hardest part is waiting for it to arrive.

    Westone ES5

    I found out that Westone dealer in Bangkok has a demo set of ES5. But I got stuck in a road block (another protest downtown) and didn't make it to the shop yesterday. Will try again tomorrow.   Quote:

    Westone ES5

    Am planning to try the demo set of ES5 today and compare it with my JH16. Just trying to justify why I should have 2 sets of custom IEMs.
