Should I get the new 2021 LCD-XC / X over the Arya?
That's a really open question my man, they are both great in there on way. It depends on the type of music you listen to and your sonic taste and you really can't compare a closed headphone to an open one especially with a planar like the Arya that has insane Soundstage and instrument separationShould I get the new 2021 LCD-XC / X over the Arya?

wonder the same thing but with the LCD XShould I get the new 2021 LCD-XC / X over the Arya?
Mine come with sealed external box.I recently purchased a brand new pair off Amazon, and was shocked to find the box not sealed, it looks like the seal or part of the writing was ripped off?
Anyone had this happen before? The seller is an authorized dealer, specifically Kaviso fulfilled by Amazon.
I'll go into a bit more detail. Depends on how you get to that 1W. Watts = amps (current) x volts. Dynamic HPs typically need their watts derived more from volts, while Planars need their watts derived more from amps/current. Not enough current amps and Arya will not sound its best.
I fall in the 'we have not learned all there is to measure, but current measurement methodology is a good place to START' camp
Maybe so, but I tend to stay away from generalizations like 1W is all Arya needs when there are multiple paths to 1W.Maybe so, but I tend to stay away from generalizations like 1W is all Arya needs when there are multiple paths to 1W.
We will have to agree to disagree as to the science related to audio measurements. I fall in the 'we have not learned all there is to measure, but current measurement methodology is a good place to START' camp.
The sound science thread may be great for these debates. Heck, the 'Audio Science Review' site might also be a place of interest for you if you're not already a member.
You won't find many reviews because they are in Singapore and their shipping terms state that they don't ship internationally, so that discounts most of the posters here.Anyone have experience with cables from kable Kraft:

Was looking to upgrade my stock cables for balanced ones and these guys look fairly priced but can hardly find many reviews on em.
So you think the LCD-XC is better than those closed back ones from Focal?Well, what do you value in music? Do you want emotion, precision, intensity, a feeling of listening live? Each headphone is going to have it's advantages and disadvantages in those areas. Give us some details about you and I'm sure one or several of us can help you decide.
But... if you're looking for a quick answer, get the XC if you have any interest in a closed back. It is without a doubt the best closed back headphone I've ever heard, and it competes with or beats the other two in just every other area. If isolation is not a priority for you, then the decision gets more complicated.
