Out of curiousity, do you like this over the DT1990 for competitive gaming?

Im intrigued to see what people who own/have owned a liquid gold say about this guy.

I bought it, I think im just gonna receive it and have it be my "endgame". :beerchug:

earlier in the thread http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0420/Monoprice_Monolith_Liquid_Gold_X_Headphone_Amplifier_Review.htm

Are we able to change out op amps for this unit?

I think it has better speed/dynamics and slightly better extension.

I know hart audio is making them, also any custom cable maker should be able to make one as long as you provide the pinout.

Ill give the next iteration of the product a try lol. Its so close yet so far.

Max settings, yeah I was one of those two. It sounded good(on par with LCD2, with a slightly bigger soundstage), but if I had to replace the headband and make a custom cable like I was eventually going to do if i kept it. I decided I might as well get a used lcd2 ready to go for around $500 and...

I ended up returning my pair, I was annoyed with the lack of a cable and the headband being a bit loose. I decided that If I could get a used LCD2(which is very similar sound wise) for 500 Ish dollars with a balanced cable and without a need to replace the headband that would be the better way...

Upon further inspection, I couldnt help but notice the stock pads cover some parts of the fazor/waveguides of the M1570 (2 rows towards the back of the headphone and 1 row towards the front) Ive ordered some pads with wider openings like the brainwavz XL pads and dekoni th900 pads to see if this...

Gotta show my bias somewhere :beerchug:

Just got a SMSL Sp200, still unable to distort the low end at high power. EDIT: Nevermind, preamp was at -6DB, I was able to distort setting it to 0db) It was definitely in excess of anyone's listening levels though.

I dont think the driver died, but the wire to the driver looked pretty deceased! I was suprised to see like AWG30 Wire in a headphone a bunch of people says they run 20W+ into. Unfortunately didn't trust myself to take apart a planar assembly to rewire em'

I added a big bass shelf on my equalizer and ran the volume super high with the m1570s to see if I could get them to distort and still wasnt able to. The THX 788 is no slouch on single ended power, but I imagine that story would change on a stronger amp.

I loved the HE6SE on a THX788 w/ the oratory EQ. But yeah I killed my HE6SE by not checking the gain setting on the speaker amp I wanted to test on because Im a dummy. The HE6SE measurements say there should be no difference other than volume, but I wanted to try and hear the "magic" people...

Same here about the looseness, I think Ill try to bend the headband soon. IF I shake my head these could easily fly off lol.

I had to RMA my he6-se due to my own error, my replacement is coming in tomorrow. Im gonna A/B them and be make the same decision. I don't like having multiple headphones and will be selecting one of the two.

Pads attach over a lip like most other headphones, it kind of irked me when the m1060/1060C copied one of the worst characteristics of audeze.

May be a keeper, i still want to listen more and try them balanced etc... the velour pads seem to bring the vocals forward and lessen the soundstage/imaging accuracy.

Definitely more complete, I dont notice a mid/highs dip like with the 1060c/m1060.

I think less dark than an audeze, but I need to go to a local shop and A/B them.
