The Lazuli Ref did not diminish the bass, if anything i made it more impactful. Dynamics are nice also. The only downside would be the added weight of the copper cables.

Great question. To start my first experience with the Lazuli was with my HD 800. I went from the stock single ended cable the balanced Lazuli. It seemed to calm the HD down some, (less sibilant) they seemed fuller too. I have always liked the HD 800 but i use EQ with mine to pull down the highs...

I I picked up the Standard Lazuli for my hd800 at a great price used. Was pleasantly surprised that this cable could make that much of a difference. In fact the improvement was enough to get me looking for the Lazuli for my LCD4’s. Found a wonderful deal on a Lazuli Ref and i have to admit...

I love the HD800, I recently added some balanced cables and just love the sound when driven with the right amp. Everything sounds so wide with the HD. Still a great headphone if you are willing to EQ than you can relieve some of the treble.

I have both the HD800 and the LCD4 and i like them both, different for sure. HD is very spacious and wide and not quite a good a punch on the low end. But with the right EQ a very nice sound for instruments and female vocals. The LCD4 is less bright and takes a minute or two to get into when i...

which model is this? Nirvana, Reference ect?

They seal really well. I use them when the wife is watching tv and I can barely hear any outside noise, and she cannot hear the music. They don't close out all outside noise but they do a very good job.

Thanks for the feedback. This sounds like a super flexible amp with all the adjustments. Now to find the funds for one!

Does anyone have any impressions of this amp with HD800 and Audeze LCD XC. I have been looking at this amp as well as the Auralic Taurus. I like the fact that the ifi ican has more adjustments to the sound. Also has this amp been reliable? Thanks

Anyone heard the iFi - Pro iCan Headphone Amp with HD800. It has both SS and tube. Looks like a nice amp. Looking for something that will pair well with my HD800 and Audeze XC.

g Good point! Love mine and the fit for me is excellent.

I use a Pono player in balanced mode. It sounds really great and not super expensive.

I think the Sonarworks make the HD800 much more tolerant of my music collection. Before I would look for only really well recorded albums. Now I can enjoy more of my music collection without as much pain, and the good ones sound even better to me.
