LCD XC :

Crisp , better clarity
Mid : more Clear and clean , better pronounce , but
Slightly thiner and slightlg more to mid High .

Weight than LCD X
Separation : on par slighly better , because LCD XC has

  my new set-up:  AK100>HUGO>TU-05>Roxane (or TH-900)
 

 

 
Are you guys seriously telling me this is ok for public use?  Someone (me, for example) would definitely think this is some kind of improvised explosive device... Please reconsider (just joking btw)
 
I would like to use my Noontecs in public but (1) I don't trust people enough to block out noise when I'm in public, except for the gym, and (2) the "are those fake beats?" question gets annoying.

Not really a photo of my portable rig but more a shot of my efforts to keep a portable audio bail-out-bag.

I'm really bad at packing for trips the night before and then pulling my hair out on the road as I discover which cable or widget I forgot at home. I constantly travel pretty far off the beaten track, mostly where replacements are impossible to buy.

This represents everything needed to take my ipod classic/ CLAS/ Continental rig on the road. The only unrelated extras are the lightning cable and 12W wall wart for my ipad.
Anyone relate?
