Another great read from you average_joe. Thanks for the write up.

Thanks!
 
Yesterday I added the SM3 vs. EM3 Pro and today I added the EM3 Pro and EP-10 Plus vs. the LCD-2.

Poor EP10 has no home!  

 
AJ, great stuff.  By your definition of transparency comparing the EM3Pro and LCD2.  Are you referring to revealing your sources or removing itself from the chain between you and the music?

 

[average_joe]

EP-10 is at home in my ears!
 
And by transparency, I mean removing itself from the chain between me and the music.  It disappears a little more to me as there is a little better coherence from right to left.  These differences are minor and the performance of both is excellent.

Nice review Joe. Thanks for the many hours and thought that you'd given to pen this comparison. If you'd in mind a similar comparison for headphone amps. that would be great.

Hi Joe, Thanks for your comprehensive review. I personally was really interested in the comparison of the em3pro and the sm3 and am pretty happy with it. Greetings, Anouk,

The review is done.  My summary, ratings/ranking, and thoughts have been added to the third post and all comparisons are in the first two posts.
 
Feel free to ask questions and/or add your own experiences.  I am hoping some people comment about their T1 vs. EM3 Pro experiences, and if anyone else has the EP-10 Plus, let us know.
 
Enjoy and cheers!

I finally got around to reading this thread after listening to some LCD2s the other day at a local meet. 
A most enjoyable read - as always. Thanks.
