It has a lot to due with the fact that I just couldn't convince myself having $2,500 (LCD-X + HA-1)of audio equipment for headphones is worth it. The journey getting to this point was great, and the headphones do sound amazing, but I'm just not comfortable forking out that amount of money. I...

Just thought I'd let anyone reading this thread trying to decide if they should buy the LCD-X or not that I am selling my LCD-X.. Should be able to find the post through my profile.

Just getting around to buying the WA7 + tp..   Should I bother buying any of the upgrade tubes that Woo offers on their website? So far I have just the Sylvania JAN 5814 in mind. I'd like to have tubes that'll give me a feel for how different they can make the sound.. Any suggestions for...

A little off topic, but does anyone have any experience with storing any of the LCD line headphones in a Pelican Case? I'm looking to order a custom made case for the headphones, DAC, and Amp, but I'm not sure not to get the cutout for the foam measurements perfect.   Something like this.

Well I guess I know what I'll be looking at all night! I have a lot to learn.. This should keep me occupied for a week or two while I make a bit more money, lol. A couple more more dumb questions - am I supposed to only replace the tubes in just the PSU unite, just the actual amp, or both? Do...

Thanks! I'll definitely throw the 5814s in too when I go to buy the WA7 pair. I know nothing about tubes or what kinds there are. In your opinion, what are some well known tubes I should look into trying first?

Wow, thank you so much! You helped a whole lot! I think you may have just made my decision for me. Wa7tp it is! I can't wait to hear how it compares to my O2+ODAC Combo.

Stupid question - Does it come with a built in DAC?

And i gotta say, that amp is much bigger than I imagined

Oh man, that's probably a pretty hefty price tag.. How much would a rig like yours run?  I really don't want to spend more than $2,000. 

Is anyone able to compare the WA7/WA7tp with the Schiit Mjolnir/Gungnir (pairing with the LCD-X of course)? I've never heard a tube amp, and I'm a bit confused as why it's so popular. It does look awesome, I'll admit

On another note, does anyone know if Audeze is able to ship out the little dust-catcher insert thingies that're right behind the metal grills?

Alright, I need to tell you all this.. It's rather embarrassing, and I hope nobody else makes the same mistake.   Ever since I received my LCD-Xs, I've been plugging the amplifier (O2+ODAC) into a power strip that is also connected to an extension cable(I know).. I've been having some problems...

    Oh yes, I develop a very uncomfortable hotspot on my ead after about 30 minutes of listening.. I usually shift the headphone band slightly forward or backward on my head to a new spot that's not sore.. That usually works for about 20 more minutes.. Then I have to change positions again. I...

Any impressions on the Carbon Fiber headband with the LCD-X as opposed to the stock headband? I really wish I didn't have to spend $200, but if it's really that great of a difference.. I'll find some money somewhere.
