Hi all
I thought the Headfonics review was quite good - play the ball and not the man/women etc..
I also like that they compare equipment (most commercial sites don’t). Having said that the scoring system stinks and I don’t like that they get the kit for free…
And I would always prioritise the collective views of the more experienced folks on this site ahead of a commercial site.
On the LCD 5 front - they are the best I have heard. But then I don’t have the broadest experience.
I’m on a bit of a binge at the moment. Holo May KTE incoming along with Optical Rendu (plus extras) and Susvara. And I’ve also pulled the pin on a CFA3 build (primarily because my Moon amp sounds so freakishly similar to my Studio 6 (so what’s the point) and some say the former is a bit boring…). The next step is the Abyss but I might need to wait a month or two for the wallet to recover (and then a tube pre-amp for the CFA 3…and on it goes…). But the bass on the LCD 5 has me intrigued..think I need more of that…
My point is that as good/great as the LCD 5 is I still want more (or at least make sure that there is nothing better out there - $$$ permitting). They are not ”end game“ for me (a phrase that I don’t get).
But that’s ok. The thrill of the hunt is exciting in and of itself (this is a hobby after all). It would be a bit boring if the Stones performed live in my living room every night!
Cheers,
