Are these lambskin LCD-2 pads the original ones?
I bought a pair of LCD-2 Revision 1's and Audeze verified the serial number. The previous owner had bought a new pair of lambskin pads for them and the question is if they are like the old original pads or if they are the new ones.

Is the price of the T1 justified?
When listening to the first generation T1 and comparing it to the DT880/990 for a couple of days I made the mistake of looking at the price and judging the headphone that way. I did not hear any new details comparing the DT880 and T1. The T1 IMO should replace the current DT880 because they...- retskrad

What music sounds good through the DT990?
They sound metallic, thin and really unnatural on every song I have listened to, only old songs and perfectly audiophile recordings (which I almost never come by because I listen to modern pop) sound good with them.

Upgrading from HE-400 to the HE-500?
Is it worth to shell out money to get the he-500? Is the HE-500 treble as forgiving and polite as the HD650? The main thing I really hate about the he-400 is the sibilance and fatigue from the treble.- retskrad
