Both (+ a Wyrd for good measure). I haven't had much time to compare the default tubes with the LISSTs, but as far as I can tell they both are the Schiit!   Now I only wait for my Ether-C to be delivered.

Got my GungnirMB/Mjølnir2-combo yesterday. I can't wait to get back home and play with them. Initial impressions are OUTSTANDING!

Just ordered one (together with a Gungnir Multibit and a Mjølnir 2). Looking forward to get a closed back headphone again. When it arrives I'll compare it to the good old LCD-2 (1. rev). :)

Can anyone comment on the isolation the Ether C provides? I'm moving away from open headphones as I'm sharing the office with my girlfriend.

+2    I'm especially interested in how the Ether C is going to perform with the Mjolnir/GungnirMB-combo.

  Thanks for the advice. :)   I'm probably going the closed headphone route some time in the future anyways, but you never know.

  I really like my LCD-2's, but I'm probably going to sell them in the future as I've grown tired of the fact they feel like a medieval torture device after a couple of hours. Just a heads up since you are going to use them while working.

Looking at this amp besides the new Gungnir as an upgrade from my Meier Concerto/StageDAC-combo. Has anyone here done a similar upgrade?

TH-900 sounds like a nice alternative as I share the office with my girlfriend.   For amplification, I've been looking at the Audio-gd Master 11, the Sim Audio Moon 430HA and the big Schiit stack (Ygg+Rag). I do however feel that the biggest change in sound signature will come from a new pair...

I'm really bad with audiophile lingo, but the main thing I miss compared to my speaker setup is clarity/separation in the mids/highs and the distinct slam I get in the lows/bass (you know when a drummer hits a big tom-tom or bass drum with alot of force).    The rest of my rig consists of...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm looking to replace my awesome LCD-2s, but I'm not sure what direction I want to go. The only thing I know is that I'm not going to get a LCD-series headphone due to the horrible ergonomics of that series.

Have anyone of you metalheads tested the ETHER or the HE-1000 (the impression threads are mostly sentered around classical and so-called "critical listening"-music  )?

Anyone who has tested the ETHER against the good old LCD-2 (pre-fazor) and/or can give some comments on how the ETHER handles metal/rock music? Thanks in advance. :)

I surely hope so as this is one of three headphones on my radar (the Ether and HE-1000 are the other two).

The Schiit-combo looks huge infront of Jude.    Right now I'm really smitten by the upgrade bug, but I can't decide if should get a new headphone or upgrade my DAC/AMP-combo so I'm more "ready" for a TOTL headphone some time in the future... 

  Not strange considering the pricing of the two models (at least here in Norway where the Taurus MKII is priced at $2000 while the 430HA is much more expensive at $4300 (with the included DAC chip)).   I've been looking at the Taurus as a nice upgrade for my Meier Audio Corda Classic, but...

Any 1964 Ears Quad-owners (or similar) that want to chime in and give some comments on the Miracle's performance compared to the 1964 Ears product?   I really like my Quads, but the seal is "so-and-so" and one of the earpieces has got a loose part, thus making it impossible to use them for...

Will this be a good match with my 1964 Quads? The line out on my laptop at work is broken, so I'm looking for a cheap, but good fix.

I've become more and more and fan of Animals as Leaders, an instrumental, progressive metal band from the US. I like the recording/production as well, really clean and good sounding metal.  

I've seen Meshuggah three times live and I must say, Haake is probably the best drummer I've ever seen.

Got my confirmation mail the 24. of january. Still no word from Audeze. :-\   Quote:

In the meanwhile, you should check out the Norwegian band Shining.     youtube: Shining - The Madness and the Damage Done

Looking at the Audio-gd, I can see two viable models (pure DACs);  NFB-2 NFB-3   Anyone own one of this and paired it with the T1's?
