And is that new avatar a photo of you? How bold! I don't plan on ever revealing my identity on this site.

He just doesn't want us to recognize him while he's doing his day job:
Why would someone kowing your identity be a problem? It's not like we're talking about anything illegal.
Well, I have no problems to show my real face on avatar ))

I'm already such an open person that seeing my face is nothing. Also, a lot of my friends call me socks both online and in person. Being addressed by my birth name is what throws me off. Lol. I've used the same nickname since 2004 (mk2 withheld).
I mentioned picking up a TH900 would be my next headphone last night; I seen that TH900 Mk2 post after the fact and edited it in. What a dilemma. I'm sure nothing will bother me with the TH900 aside from the hinge screw issue. Even with potentially replacing them a few times it'll cost less than whatever the TH900 Mk2 debuts at.
Do I grab a balanced amp before hand? That'll give me time to see how releases pan out. Decisions. For today I'm all good using the SE of my HPA V100. 8D
Wait, what? There's gonna be a new TH900? Link me!
Oh, you. We all know that I'm an Internet marketer.
(I guess you qualify as one too, though I'm self-employed and, if I recall, you work for an ad agency.)
Oh, my bad. By that, I thought you meant you where marketing $5 Hot & Ready pizzas on the Pepperoni Superhighway.
All things being equal, there is no audible difference between SE and balanced. It's just that some amps have balanced topology that is designed better and thus sounds better than the single-ended section. So it depends on your equipment.

I don't get what you mean here by "All things being equal" ... Topologically, they're very different, and the differences are pretty audible, in my experience. Quick checklist of balanced advantages: four amps driving the signal instead of two, 2X the voltage swing, 2x the slew rate, more accurate square wave response, more overall power output, more powerful bass, bigger soundstage. Is it possible for a single ended amp to sound better? Sure. But all things would not be equal in that case. You'd have to compensate in a lot of areas to make up for the advantages balanced amps offer.
Yep, and guess who gets to try it this weekend?RMAF FTW!
I wouldn't be surprised if the LCD-4 still didn't sound better than the HE6. I see they have a suspension band, they better have reduced the weight too or it is a non-starter for me, particularly given the price. Hopefully the driver doesn't have reliability issues.
