Well, here are my first impressions (from my post on the LCD3 appreciation thread). I can tell ya now its worth every shekel IMO
 
 

Cool, you'll have to let us know what you think.

 
Alrighty then, this is after two hours. My music has never sounded better. The sound is more: deeper, clearer, separated, with more bass punch and more bass notes heard. Vocals are sweet, the harmonizing of multiple voices singing is stronger, with longer decay.
 
Coming tomorrow are Whiplash hybrid V3 balanced cables. I am traveling and may not get to listen with them till next week.
And if the cables are not enough, I will be returning with a Mullard CV2492.
 
Wow......better equipment = better sound P E R I O D  
 
LOL, Like you all did not know that already.

Great stuff sara! Can't wait to get reports after the burn in, when this is the feeling before even that. You are the lucky islander!

Here are two outputs one XLR 4-pin and one single ended. Is this what you mean minus the single?

Yes that was that. Sorry for this english...

Has anyone tried out Decware's new Zen Taboo MK III? It looks like it was designed specifically for the LCD-2/3. It has two lucid modes (old and new) that supposedly makes the sound more holographic, and offers fully balanced outputs. Can't comment on sound as I've never heard it, but it surely looks gorgeous for a $1.5K amp.

It's only just been released. Frank I has one of the first if not the first production units. He expects to deliver his review in 4-5 weeks. LCD 2 and 3 are included.

The previous model taboo is superb with my LCD 2.1 - but of course that's a different beast from the lcd3.

Does anyone know any amps for ~$1000 that have a crossfeed filter and would work well with the lcd3s?

I don't know too much about crossfeed but it sounds like an interesting feature.

Meier Corda Classic - about $700 straight from Jan Meier. Google for link. Some find it a very good match with LCD3 (I can't comment - haven't moved to the 3 yet). There's a thread about this amp on head-fi.

I had the Meier Corda Classic precursor, Meier Concerto.  I thought the LCD3 sounded excellent w/ it.
 
You can also occassionally find a used taboo for a lil more than $1000, w/ its lucid mode.

Hi
 
I got my LCD3s about a month ago (without an audition). At first i must admit that i wasnt overawed but now i am really pleased with them. They are suprisingly comfortable and provide that slightly dark sound that i was after, also good bass and definition. I use either a corda classic or a WA22 and both sound excellent. I also have Beyer T1s which are an awesome allrounder imo. Source is either Moon 300d Dac or Musical fidelity M6cd player.
 
I'd like to upgrade my amp but not sure what to get.......budget probably 3-4k. I listen to mainly metal and prog. No chance of auditioning high end headamps in perth unfortunately.
 
Any recommendations?...i dont have a real preference for SS v Tube
 
cheers

For that budget, maybe this

I've listened at my friend and it is amazing with LCDs and also TH900.
 
On other note, isn't WA22 supposed to be very good with LCDs and T1 (might need tube roll)?
