Does anyone have any experience with Mark Tunis and his cables? He was selling silver plated cables on Audiogon and US Audiomart at a very attractive price.

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not but I just noticed that the Audioguild is selling the Q Audio French Silk cable at a pretty substantial discount. I know it has a reputation for pairing well with the LCD 2 so thought it might be relevant to this thread.

Thanks guys, I'll give both places a look. I appreciate the help. 

I didn't think so but their listing is confusing. Does anyone know where I can find tubes for the Pan Am? I'm not finding the Mullards, Voskods or Telefunkens anywhere but Ebay and those listings seem a bit sketchy.

Can anyone tell me if the RTC 5654 tubes are the same as the Mullard CV4010? Tesla tubes has the RTC tubes listed as the Mullard CV4010.

I agree! In my A B comparisons I thought they were very, very similar in signature and I was surprised by how close the X2 was to the 500 in sound quality and it is definitely more comfortable. . It really is an amazing value.

I heard back from Audeze and they will retrofit fazors for $275. The customer pays shipping both ways.

That's lame. Guess mine are hitting the marketplace.

I hope so too but the production delays are worrisome.

Anyone know if the LCD Z is aiming to just upgrade comfort or are they playing with the sound signature as well? 

Have any of these hit the secondary marketplace yet? 

I heard the same thing...mid to late September.

I am also curious about this...

No problem! Please report back with you're impressions.

I auditioned the X2, he 500 and he 560 and I thought the X2 and he 500 performed very well with the pan am. It was a pretty close call between them but I did prefer the he 500. I did not think the pan am played well with the he 560. Maybe it was the particular pair of he 560s that I had but they...

Has anyone tried the cardas clear cable for the he500? Isit a noticeable improvement over stock single ended? Have a chance to grab one for $100.

That's what Ive been reading. That its a thin sound.

I hadn't really considered Fostex. Whats their sound signature like? I was flirting with the idea of possibly picking up a pair or Beyerdynamic T1 or Alpha Dog Prime since there seems to be a number of good deals on those for sale second hand.

I definitely need to give them a shot. I would love to have that soundstage if it came with some bass.

Really? I wouldn't have guessed that was a good pairing. That's very interesting. Ive never heard the hd800 but have always been very curious.I think I might really enjoy them though I've read they are pretty light down low. I was thinking maybe Ether would be a nice happy medium between Audeze...

I agree the he500, he560 and the X2 are the only headphones I've tried with it and I thought the X2 was very good and he500 was better. The he560 was not a good match which surprised me because I thought that they are supposed to be easier to pair with an amp and drive than the 500's. I'm very...

I recently picked up a Pan Am and Gateway but currently don't have any cans. What headphones, diregarding price have the best synergy with and are overall the best match for Pan Am?

Anybody? Would I be better trying my luck with the LCD 2?

I recently picked up the ALO Pan Am and Gateway from a fellow head-fi'er to pair with my He 560's but I didn't like the pairing. I know the Pan Am is supposed to play well with the LCD 2 but I am more interested in the LCD X. Does anyone know if the Pan Am would also be a good match for the X...
