I also like HE500 better than the stock lcd2. Some people in my circle replace the wiring inside the lcd2 that connects the plug to the driver, and it really makes a difference, now they slightly better than HE500 in my ears. But according to a good friend of mine, who still thinks HE500 are better, they are not.

However, I think T1 beats all of them in term of technicality. And we both agree on that .

I'm curious.  After reading this I'm wondering which version of LCD2s you purchased; originals or Revision 2s?  If you already told us, I'm sorry for missing it...

I purchased the rev1 after having a few days with both versions, I preferred the rev1 over the rev2

I've been through pretty much every hi fi set in existence... 
 

That's why I just have my AKG K 171 MK II plugged in to a NuForce Icon HD (excellent... not terrible like their crappy piece of crap uDac2-HP). I let 'em burn in for 72 hours and they're so good that I've fallen asleep while listening. I'm not really interested in more. I tried the bigger brother to them, which were more comfortable, but didn't sound as good to me. So I'm done. If you want details about how I got it so good, check out http://akgk171.wordpress.com to see.
 
Honestly, I've listened to all kinds of stuff (Denons, ATs, Shures, Grado, AKGs, Sonys, Beyerdynamics, and more) but the sound of the AKGs are my favorite, which makes me glad because now I don't have to spend $$$$.

Guys...that's why I said "if they do indeed sound like the one Purrin had". The ones I heard were total crap. I really hope they don't all sound like that and I welcome the day that I will get the chance to hear another one.

Swbf, from your stated preference of a warm, fun and detailed sound, I think you should checkout JVC's DX1000.  I know you stated you would be steering clear of the higher-end headphones, but from everything I've read on the DX1000 it might just be the headphone you've been looking for.

That is one set I enjoyed very much but never owned, I did have some time with it and did not enjoy it for classical or jazz.

I usually take my tophat and monocle off before I put the headphones on.  But you may be on to something....Im thinking subwoofer in the top hat chamber!

Not even remotely.  It's too big and too heavy.

If you hated the LCD-2s, I believe the L3000 would be a huge disappointment as well.  Both headphones sounded unnatural to my ears. 

 

[swbf2cheater]

I've heard it before, I agree.  I'd pick the JCV1K over that anyday :\
