Yep got that a couple weeks ago. It's not like I can listen for hours and hours but it's a huge improvement with those two changes.

As far as sound, I'm stuck on the Black Dragon V2 cable and I love the Black Widow amp and Auralic Taurus Mk2 amp. My LCD-3s are non-fazor.

Nice. Just ordered this combo. Not sure if I'll like it more than my HD800's and Oppo HA-1, but willing to give it a try.

What Dac are you using?

Switched to LCD-4 combo kit from adorama. Using the Oppo HA-1 as the DAC fed into ican pro until iDSD pro comes out.

I bought the combo ICan pro from Adorama with the LCD3s which I'm extremely happy with. I have it paired with Modi Multi and am waiting for the IDSd as well. Did you try the ICAN with the LCD3s and then switch?

I probably didn't give them a fair shot as I am used to the HD800's. The LCD-4 sounds more technically accurate to me, but I'm sure lots of people love the LCD-3/creamy Audeze house sound more.
This time around I'm just listening to the LCD-4 only for a week and not swapping to the HD800. Really like them except for the weight!

I have the HD800S and haven't yet tried them with this amp. I really like the LCD3's though paired with the Ifi pro and like you will probably wait awhile before interchanging them. Don't foresee a LCD4 in my immediate future, but stranger things have happened.
Happily listening...
The Lcd-3 is pretty weird when it comes to pairing with amps. I've a Lake People G109, a very clean and powerfull amp. I was so thrilled when i ordered the lcd3 as i wanted to upgrade my old good Hd650, and...well, i was pretty disapointed. They sound almost the same, one have to focus on some details in order to notice some upgrades on some area of the sound. Okay, better bass, but not by far, slitghly better midrange...and, that's all, clarity is on par, instrument separation is on par, soundstage is on par...
I'm quite sure the Lcd-3 can do MUCH better than that and take the lead ahead of the HD650.
I've found in my reading that the Mjolnir could seriously take the Audeze to an other level. wait and see, i really hope it does!

I had a hard time enjoying my LCD3 until I upgraded the headphone cable to something that took some of the darkness away and added clarity. Now I extremely pleased with the sound.
Would changing to vegan pads reduce the grain/etch I hear from my LCD-3F (2015) or would it not make a difference?
What other changes would I expect from such a change?

It does soften/damp sound a bit. In my ears it's less sparkling. But still like the sound a lot!!!
