Which amp would you recommend / buy for an Audeze LCD-2?
 
    Burson HA-160D
or
    Violectric V200 ( + DAC )
 
I love electronic music and classic.
 
 
thank you

Wow, not even one vote...

Mostly because it's covered here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/495631/amp-recommendations-for-audeze-lcd-2
 
Should be doing some research on your own before posting a poll. It'll get you better responses as well as prevent redundant polls/questions like these.

Hey,
 
I'm sorry but I can't read through all these thousands of thousands of comments nor can I sum up the recommendations for each amp.
 
So a poll would be great.

I didn't like the Burson HA-160D.. didn't sound any better than my Nuforce HDP and that made me depressed for the state of the hobby after I read all the publications about it.

 

[fischerspooner]

ok.. 2 : 2 : 2.
 
Can somebody vote so there's no draw?

V200
 
It is more refined and a better match.

Bryston- BHP-1

from a balanced source. Best amp I've heard the LCDs on.

Anyone? Or is Burson the winner?

For the price range (around $700-1000 ish), I'd also throw in the GS-1 as another fantastic ss option for the LCD-2s. I did prefer it over the V200 and Burson HA160. That said, between the 2 amps listed in the thread title, I preferred the V200.

Based on my experience Burson HA-160D

 

[DarknightDK]

I would go for the Schiit Mjolnir if I were you. Costs less then the V200 and from what I read, is the one to beat at its price category right now. The 160D and V200 were good amps in the past no doubt, but they have serious competition as of late.

[size=9pt]In summary, this (Violectric DAC V800) is one of the best DACs I've ever experienced, which is surprising since it only costs $1300. That's a lot of money, but actually pretty low for a top class DAC, which is what I consider this to be. In my personal experience I rank it below the Resonessense Invicta ($4k), MBL 1511E ($8k), and very very slightly below the now discontinued Anedio D1 ($1230), but above the Audio GD Reference 7 ($1900), Esoteric D70 ($6500), Wavelength Cosine ($3500), and of course all the usual suspects from Lavry, Benchmark, Grace Design, Musical Fidelity, Cambridge Audio, etc.[/size]
[size=9pt]This DAC at $1300, paired with the matching Violectric V200 ($1k), makes for an ultra-high end reference system that compares to almost anything out there. [/size]
