Ok great thanks everyone for helping out! Can't wait to get them, currently in the mail

Can anyone tell me what serial number they have and if they bought it recently/when was built? I just bought a used 800S with a SN of 10221, and am wondering how old they are. (didn't even know the 800S have sold that many)

Insofar as the LCD-2 I couldn't recommend a better pairing. I also have a Liquid Carbon X and I prefer the Lyr 3 with the LCD. Holographic soundstage combined with near perfect timbre (to my ears). I would label it just slightly warm compared to neutral, while still retaining all the detail...

So i've had the Lyr 3 with Tung Sol tube now for about a week, and in a nutshell I adore it. In comparison to my Liquid Carbon X, it just seems more natural across the board, which I assume is partly related to the tube part? (first time trying out tubes). The Lyr has this great sense of 3D...

Curiosity and new toy syndrome got the best of me, ordered and waiting

Awesome! Very much looking forward to some impressions

I would just keep your Magni 3 in the meantime, and think about upgrading down the road. The Magni 3 I had powered my LCD-2s very well, power to spare and sounded great. I have since upgraded to a Cavalli Carbon X, and from memory it doesnt seem to be much different in single ended output...

So cables are pretty new to me, and my knowledge on the topic is very limited! So this is probably a basic question, but I have Audeze LCD2 cables with the 4 pin mini XLR headphone inputs, with a standard 1/4" jack on the other end. Since the one end is 4 pin, does this automatically make the...

Just picked up a Magni 3 to replace my 2 uber. Early impressions are great, seems to be less bright which is exactly what I wanted.

Just picked up a Mimby to replace my Modi 2, will be here in a few days. Excited!

Had a quick listen to the Sundara at a friend's house, was pretty impressed with what I heard. I would say it's not too far behind my LCD-2 for my preferences. I prefer darker headphones but the Sundara definitely didn't have any treble issues, and sibilance wasn't an issue. Bass was punchy...

Sounds like I probably need to listen to the LCD-3 before making any commitment. If I can jump on a used deal for an LCD-2 I may just do that for the time being.

Thanks for the responses, i also auditioned the Focal Elear and HD800 but my ears preferred the LCD-2 by a fair margin (HD800 was great too but quite different). I agree about the LCD-2 doing everything better than the HD650, I love the 650s but the LCD-2 is just operating at a higher level. I...

I recently heard a pair of Lcd-2s (fazor) and was blown away, really loved the sound and definitely am looking to pick up a pair. I'm ok paying the $1000 for a new one, but i'm also considering paying a couple hundred more ($1200 or so) for a used Lcd-3. Anybody heard both and can offer on...

Yeah I agree with you, as far as open backed headphones go the HD600 soundstage isn't super wide compared to competitors, but I was just directly comparing to the B&O H6 headphone. And in that case, it has a clearly bigger soundstage when listening back to back. Not night and day, but it is...

I've heard both HD600 and the H6 for a few hours each. Both sound incredible, but there are pros and cons to each. The HD600 +soundstage, imaging and overall sound signature trumps the H6 from a well driven source. +Open design is more airy and encompassing -An amp isn't NEEDED, it will run...

Hey all, I have just a quick couple of questions between the Asgard 2 and Magni 2 uber. First just a curiosity question, kind of confused on the power outputs between the two, how could the physically much larger and class A Asgard 2 put out less power than the Magni 2 at 32ohm? I'm thinking...

I'm thinking of getting an HD650 paired with an Aune X1S Dac/amp. The amp portion puts out 80mW at 300ohm. I'm guessing that's enough power to get the HD650 loud enough, but will it be enough to get all the dynamics I'd want out of the 650? Would increasing to let's say a 200mW output...

Hmm interesting, thanks for the insight. Maybe the more intimate stages will be more to my liking, as well as the warmer signatures it sounds like. I might just give the 650s a go. As I think more about the HD700s when I had them, they didn't seem to pull me into the music as much as I'd...

Hey all, for those who have heard both headphones, how different is their character? Last fall I bought an HD700 from amazon and connected it through a Modi/Magni, and never fell in love with the sound. I returned it to amazon and am looking at getting something new. I've always heard so much...

Ok so this is probably a silly question, but my knowledge of these topics is quite limited! So I was wondering the sound quality differences of a set of headphones (Sennheiser 598) plugged directly into my smartphone vs The Sennheisers plugged into a home theater receiver, and using bluetooth...

Hey guys first time poster here.  So I see Sennheiser recently introduced a revamp to their 5 series line, and I was wondering if anyone had insight on the 598 vs 579.  Even though the 598 is an older model, it's higher up in the range, so I was wondering if it would still have superior sound to...
