If you could pick one track and one track only you think shows off all the characteristics you like of your TH900, what would that one track be?
 
For me, Artist: Infected Mushroom, Album: Converting Vegetarians Track: Avratz

 
Great topic...
 
For me, artist: Portico Quartet album: Isla song: Isla.
 
Shows off the TH-900's speed, naturalness, separation of instruments, and bass quality.

 Yep I like it very much

 
How sweet is the clarinet, and the steel drums on this album is really nice too, I'm now a fan....

I like the cut of your Jib!
This one is pretty obscure (apologies), Artist: Geinoh Yamashirogumi  Album: Ecophony Rinne Track: Primordial Germination.
This is from the second album of a trilogy of which the Album for Akira (a Japanese animated film) was the first.  If you have heard the Akira OST then you will know what you are in for.  This track is amazing with the TH900's.  It starts with a strike of a giant taiko drum (ō-daiko), which the TH900's deliver with deep and impactful bass, but enough control to capture the more subtle vibrations of the drum skin that follow.  It then moves into what can best be described as performance art music (where the musicians move around a central mic); at this point the TH900's capture the subtle details of the pressure of their socked footsteps on the wooden stage.  The final section involves gamelan instruments, taiko and choral elements fused together, which is a trademark of the Akira OST.

I also really liked it, as you said pretty obscure, however did the job of making my TH900 sing

Hi guys! Needing advice from TH-900 owners in this thread. 
 
I'm waffling over the purchase of the TH-900. I can get them for a decent price, but I am on the fence. If I get them, they will be the most expensive splurge I've done in this hobby, but I don't know if it will be worth it. 
 
I currently have the LCD 2.2, T1, and HE-500. I love the ortho sound and I love the T1 for certain genres. I have the Lyr and the Soloist and PanAm to drive them (and the TH-900 if I get them). More than anything, I'm looking for an excuse to pull the trigger. 

 What is holding me back is the thought of maybe keeping the cash and saving extra for an LCD 3.

sell LCD-2 and HE-500 and get LCD-3, buy TH-900 as well

Check out this thread for some more opinions: http://www.head-fi.org/t/670975/audeze-lcd-3-vs-fostex-th-900/165#post_9686343
 
Lots of good info from some very experienced members. Might make the decision easier. GL

Thanks Greed. Yeah, I've read the thread in its entirety. From what I read, the guys much prefer the LCD 3, but also recommend keeping the TH-900. 

 
Would I like to own both? Absolutely! I guess, it comes down to - do I get the TH-900 now, save up and get the LCD3 much-much later, or skip the TH-900 and just keep squirrelling away to save up for the LCD3s. Damn first world problems. hehehehe.

Nooooo! I can't! lol!
 
I've thought of selling them but every time I think I've made up my mind, I would do a 180 after listening to them again. I've sold off lesser phones, but it's going to be real hard to part with these. 
 
Perhaps I can sell of the LCD 2 when I have the LCD 3 - but I won't know until I get it. And maybe I can let go of the T1 if the TH-900 beats it out for head time. Ayayayay. Decisions, decisions.

no lol. the T1 should stay. its way different.
 
the TH-900 is basically a closed bass monster version of the T1 (more bass, not as much detail and clarity)
