Nice write up. I love the stories about your parents. For me my wife does not understand my passion however is very supportive. I played her the recently released Michael Jackson compilation (which I purchased for this very purpose) through my RSA Raptor > HRT DAC > HD 650s with a good quality cable and she started to understand. Have a pair of LC2s on order so looking forward to getting a listen to these bad boys as well. Thanks for sharing...happy listening!
