Unfortunately, I can only be there for about an hour from 12pm.

If the Super 7 will be there, I'll have to convince my mother to change her flight if she needs to leave that day :P I'll definitely bring the BW.

I'd love to make it to this meet. And if I do get to attend, pending my mother's flight schedule, it looks like Sheldaze is already bringing most of what I was planning to bring (ZDT Jr, BW2). Perhaps, I can bring the Sonic Frontiers SFD-1 MKii DAC, if anyone want's to pair it with their DAC...

A bit off topic, but just as an FYI, similar to what songmic said, amp and headphone pairing matters. Well, I’m sure you’re aware of this, but don’t dismiss a headphone before paring it properly. E.g. I didn’t like the HD650/6xx until I tried it with the Valhalla 2.

Understood. Anyone else heard both?

Forgive me for reviving what looks like a dead thread, but wow, it's really surprising to see less impressions here on the ZDT Jr. than on the "other" forum. Btw, thanks OP for the comprehensive review. Also @Allanmarcus, if you don't mind, could you elaborate more on the ZDT Jr. vs the BW? I...

I'm reviving this thread out of pure frustration (FYI, I have the LCD3 not LCD2). Audeze, please change how the earpads glue on to the earcups. Would "pretty please' work? So, the outer ring area of the lambskin earpad (the thin ring after the stitches that goes around the bottom of the...

Had both and Valhalla 2 was the easy pick for me. The wide soundstage (IMO one of the best in the price range) and clean neutral sound of the Valhalla 2, desptie being a OTL tube amp, paired well with the relatively smaller staged and warmish sound of the HD650.

Just moving up the chain. NFB28 to Master 11 and now the Master 9. Was banking on the Master 11 to be end game for me. But I couldn't resist the urge to see what improvements the Master 9 would bring over the Master 11's amp.

Despite possibly conflicting plans, being so close to my place, I'll try my best to be there even if it's just for an hour. If I do attend I will bring, Audio GD Master 11 HD800 (SDR) LCD3f

1) 127,899 2) 128,562 3) 123,184

I'm in the states. Btw, it very well may have been an outlier, but I kinda lost interest after that incident. I even had two different XLR adapters from the same place (not the place where I got the socket saver) sounding different (one had an interesting sound bass boost/distortion). I took a...

@RMarks271 I've bought a random socket saver off of eBay (did have good seller ratings) and did notice some sonic changes - returned them immediately and didn't care to get another. If anything, from my short experience with socket savers, is probably get the socket savers that are proven to be...

Deleted. Later noticed people already commented on them being fazors. (was browsing the thread on my phone)

My iMac is even older than my MBP :P It's an early 2008 as opposed to the late 2008 MBP. I did swap out the old hard drive with an SSD for the MBP, which saved me the cost of having to buy a new laptop.

Thanks for the suggestion. That very well is an option even for my old 2008 MBP (I have done it before). But it doesn't explain the sudden weird behavior, which really has been bugging me.

Thought I'd post my question here before I post it in the general "help" thread. Any help is greatly appreciated. So, my Bimby suddenly stopped working for the past couple of days. I currently have an AudioGD NFB28 (dac/amp) connected to both my 2008 Macbook Pro, and the Bimby (using the NFB28...

@Zack W I hear you. Even the change from Focus Pads to Focus-A Pads (velour inside the pads unlike the current/stock Focus Pads) was so much better in terms of making the soundstage more coherent and the mids more organic (less harsh). Now, I might have to dig out all my spare earpads to...

I was hoping the NFB28 would provide enough quality power until I gather enough funds to upgrade. I chose upgrading my headphone first, hoping for more noticeable improvements/changes over a new amp. That said, I just connected a Burson Cable+ Pro between my Bimby and NFB28 and I am really...

That's precisely what I was afraid of. I got the 2016 LCD3 just to be on the safe side of potential driver failures, and based on some impressions indicating the lush mids still are present despite the driver update and initial concerns. Looks like I will be hunting for a pre-fazor LCD3

I probably used the wrong expression there, but I don't think I'm disagreeing with what you're saying. It's just that relative to the LCD2, I found the more noticeable improvements to be in detail, soundstage and bass speed (got my HD800 when I want those). I was hoping for a bigger jump in mids...

Well I was only talking in relative terms, coming from the LCD2. I was expecting greater improvement regarding the mids, but I probably had an unrealistic expectation coming from a headphone that already has great mids. That said, I can't speak for the TH900s as I have no experience with them...

Hi all, I picked up a LCD3f that's serviced with the 2016 drivers and I just wanted to share my impressions. Coming from the LCD2.2f (2016) I share similar impressions as @chimney189 but obviously with the LCD3f not pre fazor. I'll definitely need more time to come to properly judge the LCD3f...
