I see. Found another used one too, Schiit Lyr 2. Not sure if tubes are good for the LCD2f tho.Of everything you listed so far that is the one I'd buy. Yup.

Main issue I have with those amps is they're so exposed to the elements. Do they rattle like crazy when you lay your phone anywhere near on the desk?
Which tubes rolled in did you settle on for LCD ?
LCD2 fazor version was mention earlier, i'd like to point they do not need as much power as classical (or non-fazor versions). i've been using fazors directly (without additional amping) wih fiio x5iii, lg v20/v30, pioneer xdp-300r and the sound was excelent, didn't feel something was missing. Of course most of the time i pair it with ifi micro idsd. The idea is they are made to be easily driven and some say they sound better than classical LCD2s, most likely they shouldn't have been part of LCD2 series, but some separate "versioning".
True, still, by comparing portables with what ifi micro idsd outputs, and it is very powerful and clean sounding device, there is not much difference, if any, in term of sound quality.
With higher quality dac and amps, the result will be better. Just saying that, in this case, medium quality devices will give close outputs.
Which one would you go with?Yes I have the LCD2rev2 and the LCD2C.
The rev2 is clearly more power hungry. Particularly if you want a solid bottom (which the rev2 gives you) you'll need a powerful amp.
The LCD2C or LCD2 fazor are less demanding. However you still need a decent power tu use them to their full potential..
Choices now are
M9XX(owned) + Schiit Lyr 2
Audio GD NFB11.28
iFi iMicro iDSD
LCD2rev2 without hesitation.Which one would you go with?
