Hm! I've been following this thread since I heard the pre-fazor LCD-2 a few months ago and loved it, so I started saving for a pair. It sounded just perfect out of O2/ODAC between 11 and 12 o'clock volume level. I also liked HD 650 with a WA2 amp. So, I thought I'd figured it all out - my agenda was to buy LCD-2 then HD 650, then an Ember hybrid amp, followed by another solid state amp alternative like O2/ODAC, NFB-11, NFB-15, Gustard H10, or thanks to this thread suggestion - Meier Audio Corda JAZZ. Now, I don't know if I'll like the fazor version because of the more prominent treble. I'm quite sensitive to the low 7 Khz range and don't like forward upper mids and highs in general. Probably, I should try to find a used pre-fazor LCD-2.
