I can't fix them can I? No point getting in a rouse especially when I knew buying them that Audeze has a slight reputation for the LCD-3 dying, I thought it was some rather humorous irony.

Well ain't that something, I just received the Noir Hybrid for a pair of LCD-3's and the right driver blows 10 minutes before I could even try it. The cable is deceptively light and I can't wait to actually use it. Matt was great to speak with and overall it took 4 weeks for the cable to be...

That sounds great, I just so happen to have the HD800 next to me, and the Ether's have really caught my eye. Think I'll just have to buy one and see for myself :p

Was looking at the Stratus specifically as I have one on order, but getting any thoughts on how the Ether works with tubes would be awesome.

Has anyone had the chance to listen to the Ether's on a DNA Stratus? Could be a great combo.

Happy to say I've joined the waiting list on a Stratus. Donald has been great to communicate with and I'm confident this amp will be awesome!

Received the carbon fiber headband today, was using the Lohb strap until now. It's made a noticeable difference in my opinion, it's not leaps and bounds better but it distributes the weight better. For $339 AUD it's questionable if it's worth the cost but I liked the aesthetic appeal of it too...

Does anyone know the current cost to replace the wood rings on the LCD-3? Clumsy me chipped the left ring on my Woo stand.   

Got my LCD-3's 3 days ago, happy to say the least.  The thing that still shocks me is how comfortable I feel they are on my head, I do have a ginormous melon of a head but these are really comfortable, and that's without the lohb strap coming in the mail, sadly it looks like I'll need the...

In relation to Nuwidol's problem (sorry to hear about it) how often do Vega owners put their unit into sleep mode? I have a habit of just leaving it on besides my Taurus, should i be putting it in sleep mode when I finish? 

Understandable, I have the Zoetic currently for my HE-560's and it is really a lovely cable, soft to the touch and supple. Trevor knows his stuff 

Mind me asking why you went with the Zoetic? I'm also looking for a new LCD-3 cable and have been speaking to Trevor but I didn't consider the Zoetic till now, was looking at the Solv X. 

What does everyone think of these currently? I was looking to buy a pair and wasn't sure if maybe there are better - buys out there now. Chat seems quiet but hopefully that just means everyone is enjoying themselves :D I've had the chance to listen to them briefly (30 minutes) but enjoyed them...

  Wanted to formally apologize to you Prot and anyone else for that matter that was impacted in my agreeing upon $1799 being something reasonable for me to consider when buying. I never intended to inflict a flame war on you Prot, I just wanted to get my opinion out there on what I considered...

Prot, you may not like it but my assumption on price is exactly that, mine. There is no need for you to target people who are just expressing their opinions like it or lump it.   Astronomical? Did you just see the release of the new Sennheiser Orpheus successor? And even that would be...

Agreed, which was probably where the line stopped for me so if it does come to being this price point, I'm not fussed. What this would do is split itself between the Ether and Audeze's slightly cheaper LCD-X and more costly LCD-3 which will make for some very interesting comparisons. Must say...

I'm sorry but I disagree with you wholeheartedly. If I recall you bought a used Taurus that had no warranty, wish has probably led to your opinion. But I believe Auralic build fantastic pieces of equipment, the Taurus to me is built to last and has the looks to match. Enjoyed the V200 by...

It isn't out yet so I wouldn't imagine there would be too many people who have had the chance to hear both side by side.

The stock cable that came with mine lasted 5 days before the right side connector broke, well it didn't brake it just didn't look like it had actually been sealed properly. No matter, because HiFiMan have been kind enough to send me a new one. Enjoyed them for the 5 days I could use them, their...

Brian from RazorDog has organized to get me a new one. :) I am not sure exactly how it broke. It seems like the connector wasn't soldered properly and it's just slipped off.

Now am an unfortunate individual to be part of the group that have had poor build quality on the HE560. Only got them 5 days ago and the cable it comes with has broken from one of the connectors. Oh well, was looking at buying a Draug next week anyway. :( :)

Speaking from what I'm hearing right now, and of course your ears could be very different. I still hear treble peaks with the Auralic Taurus MKII + T1 in my system. I owned a WA6-SE from Woo Audio until just recently and it did eliminate some of the peaking but not all of it, but I've also read...

Glad to hear you're enjoying the HD800 on the Taurus, and can't wait to hear your thoughts on the HE1000 with it. Do you notice much treble emphasis on the HD800 with the Taurus? That's the only thing holding me back on buying a HD800, as I find even the Beyerdynamic T1's treble to be sensitive...

No need to apologize, hope your trip is going great!  I actually got a great deal on a brand new HE560 for $760 USD, was very happy with that, still waiting on it to arrive at my doorstep. Is is difficult to do the grill mod and change the pads? I was just about to ask in the HE560 thread if...
