Currently, I am trying to decide between a Fostex T50RP mod and this new EL-8. I was just about to purchase a ZMFxVibro when I heard about the EL-8. I chose to hold off on purchasing that T50RP mod from ZMF when I heard that the EL-8 is offered the Audez’e house sound at such an affordable price. The ZMF mod is $550 and while I currently have the funds to purchase the EL-8 at $700, the price difference is $150. The amp that I use is the Schiit Lyr 2.
I have listened to the LCD-2, LCD-X, and LCD-3 and found the LCD-X to be my preference of those three. The current headphone that I own is the HiFiMAN HE-500. I am having trouble deciding because while I did enjoy the general sound signature of the Audez’e house sound, I also enjoyed the Alpha Prime T50RP mod from Mr. Speakers.
What do you guys think?
I think that everyone is still waiting for the actual reviews to roll in... And for some normal people to get them.
Plus, if you are looking for closed, it might be a little longer...
I personally would wait until they come out before making any decision.

Neither of those three ever actually review the headphones. Also, even their impressions were based on pre-production models.

Can't wait. Really want to read some more reviews. before really buying one.
Only been "active" in the IEM section and DX90 Topic. So Hi all?
with 30 ohms the EL-8 should be very easy to drive compared to the other Planar magnetic headphones.
Want to pair it with my DX90 only decent DAC / AMP i have. you guys think its enough to do the EL-8 justice?

The Canadian customers should pre-order the EL-8 as soon as possible...
Canadian dollar expected to slip to fresh low of 75 cents.

With the exchange rates of today, the total price for the LE-8 with the shipping to Canada plus the Customs would be $1023 CAD.
