  I wonder how many of the original 500 are spoken for now.

Assuming that most of the recent Cavalli orders have been for LC's, and a small number of orders are for more than one unit--I'd say in the low 400's.

Couldn't resist, so put in my order.  Now that I did, I am thinking I need a new headphone too since both of my balanced HD650 and RS1 have dual XLRS

 An Ether maybe?

Hard to go wrong with the LC+Ether!

I heard the Ether through the LC at the Nashville meet.  It is my #2 choice for an upgrade when the LC arrives to the LCD-X.  The Ether is probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. Very very nice!

Haha twinzies. I won't be buying the Ether anytime soon because of some things to take care of but I'm getting it too for my LC to compliment my LCD-X.

Just put in my order. Can't wait!

So you feel the Ether is an upgrade to the LCD-X?  Just in comfort, or in sound also?
 
Thanks..

I was probably not as clear as I could have been.  I will be getting a LCD-X sometime around the time the LC arrives.  I did not listen to the LCD-X on the LC so it is going to be a little bit of a leap of faith.  The Ether was playing hi-res tracks from a AK120ii(not completely sure about the model) through a Auralic Vega($3500 DAC) into the LC.  I also heard the Ether through a Yggy/Rag stack and a Woo WA5.  Through all this high dollar and power equipment the Ether was superb.  Later I was able to directly A/B the Ether and LCD-X on a Gungnir/Mjolnir stack which was a closer approximation of the equipment I have or contemplate getting to go with the LC.  When doing this The LCD-X comes out on top for me.  It had a more complete presentation than the Ether across the spectrum or the Audeze sound signature fits me better since I use LCD-2f as my primary cans.  On the Ether impressions thread several people have noted that the Ether can sound much different through a variety of combinations.  As for comfort I could forget the Ethers were on my head.

Thanks.  I always find myself wanting to apply the transitive property of mathematics to headphones, but it really just doesn't work.  So the LCD-X sounds better, but maybe it doesn't because that was a different upstream stack... 
 
Also I was excited for a moment there thinking I was going to get an answer on how the AK120II sounds though the LC and Ether, but there was that pesky Vega DAC in the way..  I will know soon enough myself, hopefully early September.  Except the Ether part...  I'm going to have to "suffer" for a while with my T1 on the LC from the AK120II.  I think I'll manage.

This place is dangerous.  Okay, I am now also on-board the Ether bandwagon.  I trust the LC-Ether combo is good enough for my old ears.  August can't come soon enough.

That's at least 3 today isn't it?  Funny....  I jumped on board early this month, thinking they'd all be gone.  I think I was tail end of the initial feeding frenzy, and things are calming down to a more normal pace now.

 

[TheChillburger]

I've been on the fence for about a month, but I figure it was about time to get into the balanced game.

Heck yeah!  Sittin' on a fence for a month can make a fella uncomfortable, if you know what I mean...  Seriously, welcome.  Resistance if futile....

Whats the expected price after the 1st run?

I expect that it will go up.
