Interesting. I peg it as LS ~= LC, and I've heard both multiple times. Cheers
I've heard folks say they like the Spark better because it sounds more like the Gold. Thing is, it's not balanced and doesn't have the power of the Carbon. All other things equal, one may like the sound of one better than the other, but they do serve different purposes.
I suspect that if you have something easy to drive like the Ether C and combine it with the Spark and an AK player or something, you'd have a portable solution that can compete with many desktop solutions for SQ. That Spark is quite a little beast! Less than a month until Socal!!
Hope to see ya there.
Does ">>" mean greater than, as in LS is better than LC?
Or is it an arrow pointing to the LC as better?
Either way, I just sent off my LC an hour ago to pay for a MZOTL2 (couldn't bring myself to wait 7 months for a Glass), and here you are tempting me again....
In this context x>>y would mean x is much much better than y.
I understand, I'm an engineer and I deal with international regulations, so interpretation is part of my job, too.Thanks. Kinda obvious, I guess, but I'm a technical translator, so I'm used to thinking of every possible interpretation for a given term or phrase. You'd be surprised to find out how often the "you gotta be kidding me" interpretation is the correct one!

Doh! Just missed out on a brand new LC for original price. I just can't win!
Actually, about making the jump to a balanced amp. I'm running a Gustard H10/X12 combo right now. Say if I do get a LC or another good balanced amp, how much improvement will I potentially see?
Speaking amp to amp (I own both) only--there will be a significant improvement going to the LC. However, I suspect that most of that is because the LC is (in balanced or unbalanced mode) a much better amp than the Gustard. The LC beats it in a meaningful/audible way in every category, except (as I recall) amount of power to your cans.
What your ears detect will depend upon, in part, your DAC (which I have not heard) and the quality of the music you feed each system.
