Just ordered mine and also ordered the Audeze Vegan pads from B&H for $65. Can't wait to get them and try them out!

    Where can you get LCD-2s for $499? I thought those were around a thousand.

I've seen a lot of people say that the M1060s obvious comparison is the Audeze which I guess makes sense in the visual sense, but it seems like the HE400 and HE400S would be the most direct comparison since they're all planar magnetic headphones at the $300 price point. Am I wrong?   That...

Here's a series of photos comparing the dimensions of the AKG K712 Pros and the Meze 99 Classics (with the newer larger factory pads)     http://imgur.com/a/GBMwZ

Hey all!   So I've kinda jumped into the world of headphones with both feet and bought a few sets for different purposes: Headphones AKG K712 Pro - For gaming and movies Meze 99 Classics - For portable/public use and travel MEE Pinnacle P1 IEMs - For everyday walking around/keep 'em in...

  This single post was probably the best, most succinct explanation I've read yet on the subject of SS/hybrid/tubes. Thank you very much for taking the time to post it.   And the bottom line seems to be, if I am understanding everything correctly, the biggest difference between SS and...

  So based on all of this, I'm guessing that the G1217 would be the better way to go since I will be driving K172 Pros (62 Ohms/105 dB) and Meze 99 Classics (32Ohms/103 dB), both of which are pretty easy to drive.   The Mk II appealed to me because it was an all tube design. I already have a...

  Forgive the ignorance of this question, but what will be the difference in sound with the single preamp tube of the G1217 as compared to the Little Dot with 2 power tubes and 2 preamp tubes?

I'm looking for a tube amp to complement my Schiit Modi 2U/Magni 2U. I thought about going with Schiit for the tube amp as well, but from what I read, even the Schiit tube amps are pretty honest and don't color the sound very much so I wouldn't hear much difference from my Magni 2U. The point is...

  I'll be driving them with a Modi 2 Uber/Magni 2 Uber stack

The eternal dilemma between open vs closed back. Open back will be able to provide a better soundstage but not provide as much bass, closed back can provide more bass but won't have as wide a soundstage. So in the quest to bridge the gap, which is the better route to pursue?   I currently have...

  That's all great information! Thanks for taking the time.

Awesome! Thanks!

So "more" as in "bass is of equal quality but more of it", or does it mean "more bass but sloppier"?

Does "stronger" mean "equal quality but more of it", or does it mean "more bass but sloppier"?

So I have a set of MEE Audio Pinnacle P1s on the way that will be my go-to IEMs for their balance and clarity and soundstage, but from what I've read they may be a bit lacking in bass. So on those occasions where I want to trade off for stronger bass support, which would be the better bet: the...

I swear to god I've been searching for hours and couldn't find that. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

I don't have an HA-2SE but these short connectors that are included with it look like they'd be the most convenient solution for carrying around a portable DAC/amp in my pocket with my phone. Is it possible to buy them by themselves anywhere, or if not those the same thing from another maker? Of...

You don't think the sound would be improved with a DAC and/or amp?

Greetings everyone!   I'm currently in the process of putting together a portable setup for traveling. I've pretty much settled on the Meze 99 Classics for the headphones but I'm also looking for a portable DAC/amp as well. I'm leaning heavily toward the OPPO HA-2SE because it has a ton of...
