The old HE1K thread did get quite alarming but I don't think things will get out of hand this time, since Alex made the preorder details crystal-clear.

I'm not very good with puns though, you guys'll need to give me a second.

Uh... Umm... The Liquid Carbon will take the crown as my best headphone amp?

Hehe a small watch-debate

So if i place a order on the crimson it could not handle the Abyss perfect?

Hmm.....It is right at the edge. It will totally depend on your listening level preferences. Sound quality is good (I am not a huge Abyss fan FWIW). If the power is enough for you I am sure you will like the pairing.

This is what happens when you fill a thread with dads.

Let us Pun-tificate...

Or when you frequently check the current time/date against estimates for when the new gear will be released.

Sadly, no children here
But thanks for reminding me about Father's Day!

Yeah, this is the fate of gear that won't be in general circulation for months, something has to fill the vacuum!

Speaking of Father's Day, I fill my vacuum with cheerios and goldfish, generally.  o.O

Hopefully the cracker type....
 
With that said, I'm quite happy with how Alex pops in from time to time so we at least feel a little in the loop.
 
My last preorder experience was with Michael Goodman, and the HiFi-M8 was a much longer process.  But he had a blog for us to follow, so that helped fill the time

Yes, speculation and off topic meanderings are a vicious cyclone I've seen on many pre-launch threads. We will also see people trying to comb the threads and clean up the foreign debris, and those who simply state that waiting sucks!

Chronology of a pre-release thread:
•Manufacture alerts the community of upcoming product
•the time is set for preorder and release
•The lucky few chime-in on their pre-production demo impressions.
•The early birds synchronize a frenzied spending attack on the preorder launch.
•Anxious buyers set their clocks to countdown to release day.
•Prospective buyers and community members ask questions in the hopes of ticking the boxes off of system requirements and benefit desires.
•Manufacturer periodically resets customer's clocks by answering questions and sharing juicy details, possibly photos of the skeleton of their product.
•the last two bullet points cycle again and again, though some people make speculations that are only right twice a day.
•Production and anticipation wind up in correlation as time advances close to release.
•Time's-up! The preorder peeps tend to write ringing endorsements while on the other hand those who did not preorder read lap after lap of reviews.
•After a honeymoon hype period, conversation hits the snooze button till those who waited for first reviews make their orders and confirm the initial impressions.

(Okay I'm done, I had to kill time waiting for someone to finish lunch.

I just spit on myself, and came very close to wetting my pants!  I still have tears in my eyes...

So guys what headphones are you planning to pair the Carbon with? Also I wonder if anyone has heard the HD800 + Carbon mix yet.

I have an HE-560 as my main rig right now, but I may be upgrading to a HE-1000 or Dharma this year.  We shall see...

I ordered my LC today and in the process of deciding on a new pair of high end headphones:
Aether, LCD-X, HD-800, Dharma - Wonder what would be the best match for the LC ?

 

[Serenitty]

I'll be starting with my T1's, but plan on an Ether or maybe some form of LCD....

 

[pippen99]

Will start out with current LCD-2f but plan to move up to LCD-X.  I heard the Ether on the LC at the Nashville meet.  Very nice!

T1, another potential marriage in heaven...
I have one doubt: the dharmas, being hybrid electrostatic, would be match-able with the LC ?

The Dharmas don't need a special amp, they'll run off normal amps.
