I did most of my listening with an amp that will be coming to market shortly - it is being "unveiled" at canjam. It is the Liquid Fire amp from Cavalli Audio. It is a tube hybrid, high voltage for the tubes to keep them operating at their most linear point, dual 30V rails for the class A Mosfet output stage which allows 42V p-p swing. DC coupled so no caps or transformers n the signal path and a servo which keeps the offset at zero.
It is a wonderfully powerful amp and well worth the audition. Cavalli Audio is also releasing a solid state amp, the "Liquid Gold" which will have similar voltage swing but will be faster.

Can this thread please include prices, so as to maintain a sense of perspective.
I've just had a quick look around, but can not find prices for Mr. Cavalli's Liquid Fire and Liquid Gold amps. Has the price been released?
So how will the LCD 2 sound with my ZDT? Anyone try the LCD2 with any EC amp?
I heard the LCD-2 at RMAF and it blew my mind (was being run off a ZDT). Truly awesome quickness and bass impact. I'm counting the days until they are officially released - I'm jumping right on a pair. May get a pair of HE-5s as well to compare - will certainly share my thoughts if I do.
EDIT: Woo 1,000th post
I've spent some time this weekend using the LCD-2 with the J SoundLab Headphone, which is a small, relatively inexpensive transformer-coupled tube headphone amp. It actually worked quote well!
Skylab:
Is the Woo Audio 6 a good amplifier to use with the LCD-2? What do you think?
Thanks.
Has anyone tried the LCD's with a HeadRoom amp? Thanks.
