Queensryche- Rage for Order on Apple Music
Grado sr325e

Done taking over this thread lol. Will be my last play for a bit, gonna go out and see my dad. The airiness/liveliness of how the 325e presents music is hitting the spot on this album.

Little bit of early morning epic.
iPad lossless > Audeze Deckard (ancient right? Still class A and smooth) > Audeze LCD-4Z

i tried to offload the Deckard years ago before moving from North America to Europe but no one wanted it. Took it with me and it just sat, useless due to plugs and voltage.
Dragged it all the way back when I returned a few years ago and only just recently unearthed it. So glad I schlepped it around. Was a bit of a hidden treasure to find again, and it makes a completely competent B rig, if not just ‘other A rig’. It has little to envy from the GSX mini in terms of single ended amp output.

Steven Wilsons remix of this album is stunning. Absolutely love the lead guitars on this album, and the 325 really brings those out

Nice. Coincidentally just listened to the 'original' CD - one of my first CDs, purchased ca. 1987. Shopping for a Wilson remix CD now.

Nice setup. I want to hear the Focal Clear so bad.
I've read some very good reviews about them.

Crusaders Images album (incredible audiophile recording) -> Tidal redbook -> DI-20 -> AES/EBU + WCLK -> Brooklyn -> V280 -> LCD-3F -> skull

I was comparing the 3Fs out of the Phonitor 2 (muted here) with how they sound out of the V280. I think I'm liking the V280 better with planars and the Phonitor with dynamics.

P.S. I know what you're thinking but no, I didn't go to art school for photography :p
