I have K701 for serious home use and Proline 750's for closed home use. My other cans are D1001's and HD280's I dislike the sound of the 280's so much I gave them to my daughter. I use the D1001's for my close environment (office space) closed can listening. Much better IMO than the 280's amp'ed...

I spent another couple of hours with the LC3 last night. Trying different headphones. Different media CD/SACD and MP3. I find the amp to be pretty neutral, but will reveal a bad source pretty quickly. I listen to my AKG 701's Ultrasone Proline 750 and my old Senn HD-280's. No problem driving any...

Mr.C I just got a LC3 yesterday. You HAVE to get the power supply, as the amp section alone does not have an means of converting AC to DC.

+1 $210 for Denon AH-D1000/1001 WAY WAY WAY overpriced. I got mine for 83 shipped. I've been looking into D2000's and 200 seems to be about the going rate for them.

I personally never understood "unboxing" reviews... You take it out the box and chances are you dont see the box again until it's time to sell it, or return the product. THATs if you keep the box. I've seen good products come in cheap boxes and crappy products come in good packaging. Guess the...

You poor poor man...You have no idea what can you just opened! LOL

Very good review..but for the record..Donald Fagen really isnt Jazz. Pop would be a better Genre, but certainly not jazz.
