I am about to purchase a pair of Audeze LCD 3s and I need to pick a dac/amp unit that would complement them.  I am looking @ the Woo audio WA7 fireflies or the Mytek Stereo 192-DSD.  Which do you think would pair better with the LCD-3s.   I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me...

I was just recently browsing the 'for sale' section and I've been noticing a lot of LCD-2 for sale? What's the deal? Are they not as spectacular as advertised? What's the story with those headphones?

Hello, not sure if this has been asked before. I use my LCD2 everyday in my home studio and I love them, they do have a problem with stereo image but that happens with all headphones. Any who, my question is: Is it worth upgrading to the LCD3?    -Thanks

Well - the saying is that planarmagnetic (planars) AKA Orthodynamic (orthos) headphones need a lot of Watts to shine. But I have also read that they fancy nice Voltage swing capabilites. And I've read the opposite, they do not care about voltage at all. I know, however, that the voltage-capable...

I know I have to send it in, but does anybody have experience with Audeze's customer support? I have the Bay Area meet I need to attend this weekend and I also have a Mjolnir + Gungnir stack coming this week. This seriously could have not happened at a worse time. If anybody has any experiences...

Hi folks,   I know this is a bit of a longshot but I'm currently in Wellington (til Saturday morning) and have been trying to find a good headphone shop where I can audition some high-end headphones but have been striking out on the web so thought I'd ask here instead.   If anyone has...

I was wondering besides RMCAudio and Amazon, are there other sites that you guys could recommend?

I don't believe a thread exists for this amazing device so I thought I'd create one.   First off, links to pro reviews:   http://positive-feedback.com/Issue65/microstreamer.htm http://www.whathifi.com/review/hrt-microstreamer...

      Effect Audio started in 2009, making aftermarket cables for enthusiasts. They went international in 2011, selling their custom creations via eBay as well as their own website. By 2013 they are one of the more well known options and have amassed a collection of positive reviews around...

What’s that?  You’d like a review of the smallest fully balanced portable amp in the world?  Why I’d be happy to, here you are my friend.         But before the write up, I must offer special thanks to Ray Samuals for asking me to review his latest amp.   Ray has been a strong...

I don't want to waste your time reading more spontaneous prose from yours truly, so lemme say when I got the microStreamer from HRT just prior to release (YES - I worked for them, I lay it out for ALL to see in my review & many know that here) I was so enthralled by its sonic wonderment...

Yo folks, what's up? So I was wondering, and it seemed like a perfectly interesting and valid question to think about, and I doubt this has been asked in the past.   Everyone was talking about how Headphones, being quite a bit cheaper than hi-fi/end speakers, can actually be a competition...

I love my Grado RS1s, they are vintage button and I'm enthralled with their realism on vocals: johnny cash, black crowes, billy Joel. All played via my new second hand Rsa dark star or my old stand by Rsa raptor via bryston bda1 dac via McIntosh spinner. I've tried for two years to fall in...

Pick your answer. :)

Hello,   I am currently on hold with a DENON AHD-7000 and later today found out about the Fostex TH-900 and Audeze LCD 2 and 3. I heard D7000 is good for gaming through Mad Lust Envy Heaphone Gaming Guide. For the Fostex and Audeze, one review had all 3 and he showed his D7000 sitting in the...

First and foremost I would like to take the opportunity to thank Justin W of Headamp for the wonderful opportunity to try out Sennheiser's HD700 at home with my own gear. I first met Justin at a local headfi meet in Northern Virginia where I found him to not only be generous on the gear he...

hi all,I was wondering who of you are that satisfied with your set up that you have bought nothing, done no modifications to improve your set ups in the last 6 months ( you made it through Christmas without taking the plunge in this scenario). If there are any of you out there, show yourselves...

Hello    I have recently moved into an apartment so I cant play loud music anymore :( Therefore i'd like to get into head-fi! I've tryed to read around on this, and pretty much decided to get Audeze LCD-2's, and most likly a WOO Audio WA7 AMP/DAC.  Since i'm new to head-fi id like your...

This is on my phone so I'm not going to brief anything but here are my impressions on them. Comfort: super comfy, a little heavy. Isolation: fantastic Sound: Fake plastic trees- Thoms voice is detailed, and isn't in your face like the LCD-3, very nice. The violin sounds realistic, I love the...

If you could choose a headphone for dynamic, orthodynamic, and electrostatic, what would your choices be? You can only pick one for each type. Reviews are optional.   Dynamic: Sennheiser HD800 - for it's analytical and wide soundstage sound signature. Very comfortable. Its light weight wins...

LCD3 do better in precise of music than LCD2, its more HIFI than LCD2. LCD3’s original headphone cable is lack of HIFI performance. You will find music be too warm and vague. If you want to enjoy symphony, I think you need to change the HP cable. But the original HP cable will be good at pop...

Hello everybody,   Currently my rig is based on a Stax system with a Audio GD19DSP + SRM007t + SR507.   My opinion is the same as DavidMahler on SR507. There several negative point about SR507 : -small soundstage -lack impact and body   Positive point : -liquidity -detailed...
