Does anyone have experience with planar magnetic headphones with their MZ3? While at the LTA shop last year, I recall listening with (I think, if I recall correctly) a pair of Audeze LCD-4, which were impressive. @jtnt , any input is appreciated!
I have LCD- XC and a bunch of modded Fostex T50RP MK2, MK3, Modhouse Argons. LTA MZ3 can drive them all without any problems at all. Bellow is the spec for Fostex T50RP.
Only thing I would caution with planars and amps similar to this is current. The amp may have plenty of watts or in this case, one powerful watt, but current is important for some planars.

Oh nice, I was reading up on those and was interested. Do you guys still have the LCD-3 & LCD-4? Curious how those compare? Maybe I should schedule a time to drive back up.

We have the LCD-X, LCD-XC, LCD-4, and LCD-5. I would say that the LCD-X & XC mate best with the MZ3. The LCD-4 & 5 are better suited to the Z10e, imo.
If you're coming from VA, we'll be at the next DC-area meet in a couple of weeks. You're always welcome to schedule a time to visit us in Takoma as well.

Agreed! I just got my Abyss 1266⏀ a few days ago and can absolutely confirm that these headphones are driven just fine on the MZ3. Granted, the volume needs to be up higher than my typical setting for my 300 Ω cans, as the 1266⏀ are low impedance and low sensitivity. Like you said, open and airy with very good bass. I'd go so far as to say, likely the most well-defined and resonant bass I've experienced on any headphone to date.
