lol yeah but i read most people saying the lcd is very dark, i dont think ill like that. i think the hifiman he500 may be more suitable for me and my wallet lol. i also dont have an ebay account and have never sold stuff before

LCD-2s aren't really dark, what they are is darker than some of the other flagships like the HD800s, which to me seemed too bright in my admittedly brief audition. Actually, the first time I heard the LCD-2 (rev1 at that) they sounded at least as neutral as my HD600s, and the rev2 even more so.
 
And to be sort of on topic, I had a few cosmetic issues with my LCD-2s and Audez'e was excellent and very prompt to deal with.

Fortunately/unfortunately I haven't heard the he500s, and I really would need a decent amount of time with them on my own system to say.
 
But yes, to my ears (and with my system) the LCD-2s sound quite similar to the HD600s but with much better bass and everything being more coherent.

..Can you tell us ,what were the  cosmetic issue ?
 
Cracking of the wood cups...?
Just curious,I've read that a few people were experiencing this??
When I got my lcd's back on 6/8...it looked like, they had gone over the wood cups with polish,and looked almost new.

 

[Defiant00]

My first pair was bamboo. They had been shipped with one end of the left yoke pressing into the wood instead of being inserted properly, leaving a dent. There were also bits of wood coming off from the left cup where the grille went.
 
At my dealer's request they switched mine to rosewood (or just swapped headbands on a new pair, or something...all I know is I've got a rosewood pair with my old serial number on it).
 
My new pair has a couple rough spots but nothing like the little pieces peeling off, and the rosewood looks so good that I really don't care.

Ah I see. I would wonder why you wouldn't want to go with the V-moda cable, which seems to be go to for that headphone.
 
But I'd check Fostex, I can't honestly say I've heard anything about anyone using that tm110b.

even though i dont have the 1/8 inch cable to try it with my e17, i can say i dont like the headband very much, the rubber headband is not too comfortable, i would prefer it to be leather or something more comfortable

What are you currently using to drive the Stock Fostex?
 
Yea, I always seem to be one of the few that recommend a headphone mod. It just really feels like it digs into my scalp, and I have a lot of hair on top of there.
I just lined my Fostex with some foam and it immediately alleviated that problem.
