What is this LPG2?
It's written that it comes with a different chassis and component material.
Anyway, finally got to try the LPGT.
Keep in mind, this is an engineer sample. Here is my brief impression. Comparing it with SP1000, and Zeus-R.
The LPGT is blazing fast. Fast boot (~2 seconds), responsive UI. But sometimes too responsive, as scrolling a long playlist occassionally it scrolled too fast. So touch more gently. Little hiss with the Zeus, but still a bit more in comparison with the SP1000. Note that it was with SE output. The balanced according to specifications seems more silent. Couldn't confirm. With the Zeus I got to a similar volume level with SP1000 at around 50-55. Both sound highly detailed, and resolving. The LPGT I felt was slightly brighter. It has a leaner note size, and crisp, higher treble. Soundstage I felt was more spacious with the LPGT, while the SP1000 is closer, and more intimate. Female vocals sounded sweeter, and clearer with the LPGT, while with the SP1000 it's warmer, denser, and somewhat more emotional. LPGT I felt was a bit more analytical, and less smooth. Not necessarily harsher, but it wasn't as forgiving, gentle and smooth as the SP1000. Details are more apparent with the LPGT though. YMMV.

I also got try the KSE1200 along the way. Beats whatever IEM I've heard in terms of resolution. I want one
Especially now that the price is US$1000 lower than the KSE1500. I'll probably wait for a used set though, as I'm good with the Zeus for now. The KSE1200 is really good, clear superb high resolution. Pure realistic balanced neutral reference sound. Lovely extended treble, and accurate mids. Forgiving, and not harsh anywhere. Bass hits with enough strength. Note size is just right, and its stage clean. Some bassheads may find its bass lacking though, but it's just the good amount for me. Soundstage is big but not distant, close but not intimate. Vocals articulate, and perfectly positioned/centered. Maybe less warm, and emotional than the Zeus, but it's so realistic.
