He prefers which one more? I may buy the Pro for my own comparison, if I can get it for a good price.

Sorry about that He prefers the Pro more. 
 
I wish I still had it to compare it to the Phonitor

Thanks grizzly.

Bimmer if you can, please share some impressions between these two.

Went fine for me. They let me keep the amp at the special invoiced combo price.

Keeping the LCD3's, they sound so great with the ICAN that I can't bear to let them go.

No surprise there, thanks for your feedback though

Same is true for the LCD-4. Very good synergy right out the gate.

Getting one this weekend. Wonder how this pair with Utopia.

Should be great. I had a Utopia and the Pro, but not at the same time. The Utopia reproduces sound so well, and the Pro outputs it so well that the match has to be made in heaven. Personally I found the bass not eh utopia perfect, but some might like a little more. The 10Hz boost from the Pro should bu just enough to allow a visceral low end on the Utopia. I'm guessing most cans don't benefit from the 10Hz boost, but I think the Utopia will. Optional, of course. 
 
All you need a Light Harmonic Da Vinci DAC and you are all set. Anything less and you might as well just get Beats!

You'll be pleasantly surprised for sure, these new Utopias are great.

My Ican gets very hot even after a couple of hours use. Basically hot enough to where I could barely touch it. I don't leave it running all day, just for 2 or three hours after I get home from work, I have a Jotunheim and that gets wartm to the touch but not nearly as hot. is this normal?

Solid state mode or a tube mode? Tube mode will get hot because of the tube.

 

[BarDash]

Tube mode. Tomorrow I'll try solid state to see if it gets as hot... Good point, didn't take that into account.

 

[Dulalala]

Anyone tried these with the HD800S and can comment on the pairing?

Are you running that balanced or single ended?

 

[GHoldridge]

Tube mode. Tomorrow I'll try solid state to see if it gets as hot... Good point, didn't take that into account.

Mine gets hot in both modes slightly more hot over the tubes. Remember a lot of components are rated to 120c/248f. The highest temp I could read was pointing directly at a tube and got 145f the case was 110f-120f. Also there's 2 schools of thought to leaving it on or turning it on/off. Leaving it on keeps it at a consistent temp and turning it off/on obviously varies the temp which causes more expansion and contraction. Personally, I leave mine on a lot I use my pc as a second alarm in the A.M.
