Would anyone with experience with both of them on the LCD-2 mind posting a bit of their impressions on how they compare? It'll help me make my final decision.

No no no!!!

Don't let others form YOUR opinion! You spent a lot of time with both yesterday...prolly as much as anyone else in the world, save 5-6 people.

Back is same as Magni...

^ Oh Ok, thanks guess no 3.5mm input then. Might need to get some new cables for this thing as well....

3.5mm to rca for like 1 dollar on amazon.

Oh no, I'm certainly not trying to get others to form my opinion. I like both for completely different reasons (cleaner and more dynamic for the magni and more euphonic for the Vali, the magni is more exciting and punchy but less "natural" than the vali, and I can certainly tell the LCD-2 wants the increased power the Magni has) and I'm trying to fish for a little nugget that'll help this decision. Getting to a/b both was a massive help, I wasn't even considering the Magni until I did and that very well may be the one I go for.
 
Though you are right, the chances of someone being able to help is very close to zero.
 
Honestly, the popularity of the Vali will probably make that decision for me (will be hard to get), and that's fine.
 

Damn! That's one fine photograph!!

Tho I might be biased.

Ahahaha, every damn thread Lee!

Tough decision and certainly one I can relate to as I preferred the LCD-3 from solid-state (Mjolnir) than tubes (BA), and I much prefer tubes. I would go Vali if you were ever to decide on upgrading DACs.

I do keep hearing about the Mjolnir with the Audezes, and it's one of the front runners for the amps I'm looking at (among numerous others). My only hesitation is that I'll have to either buy a balanced DAC or remove my XDA-2 from my speaker setup, but this conversation is for another thread at a later time.

Oh no... Don't ask or ever expect them to make either a tube DAC or some sort of AMP/DAC unit
 
 
Never gonna happen... I've asked 
 
 
Thanks,
