Great wrap up. Agreed on many points. Looking forward to part 2.

Jude said the diaphram of the LCD3 is lighter than that of the LCD2, does that mean it will have less weight than the LCD2 as well? If yes, that's very good news!

The diaphram is very light already in the LCD2, but the LCD3's is 1/6th the weight of the LCD2. It will have no effect on the weight of the headphone itself since it was so light to begin with.

Another great video, looking forward to part two. I was wondering if you still thought the SR-009 king after all the excitement over the LCD3. Only a small point, but I think I preferred the 'sat at your desk' presentation over the 'green screen' style - very professionally done either way though. Thanks.

I have to agree here. Though it's perhaps a good format for an episode that covers so many products like this one, the sat-at-your-desk ones seem somehow easier to watch. I guess it's because I like to spend my time admiring all the cool gear you have in your office!
 
And a great summary overall, looking forward to the next episode and the Tokyo coverage. Was there any success in recording the panel, by the way?

Every bit of news on the LCD-3 is making the temptation of wallet poisoning much, much greater.

You're right. I totally forgot it's the magnets that makes up the weight, not the diaphram.
