Hello. I performed a couple searches for this sort of post, but came up empty handed. I did find some HD800 threads, and some LCD-2 threads.

I'm particularly interested in anyone's feedback, impressions, or thoughts on how these two headphones differ.

My equipment:
Tom Christiansen Audio HPA-1
dB Audio Labs Tranquility SE DAC w/Jupiter caps
Hapa Audio Quiescence S silver RCA ICs (auditioning these)
HD800 (burning in) after market cabling
Audeze LCD-2 (burning in) after market cabling
HD350s (purchased in 2013 - will gift these to my son once I figure out which of the above HPs sound best to me)
I also own a SW1X Audio DAC III+, but I haven't tried listening to headphones with that DAC - it's in my main audio system.

I'm hoping to burn each HP in for about 200 hours before I try some serious listening. I have made a couple comparisons, but I have not made any conclusions yet. I <mostly> listen to Jazz, instrumentals, and male or female vocals.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Michael
