Does enough translate to a number ? What number equals too many?
This is the conundrum headphone addicts struggle with daily. Sort of like what is the meaning of life?

I have the Focal Elear's, Audeze LCD 2 F2 (2017),Audeze LCD X'S and Hifiman Edition X V2's as part of my collection.
I love them all but if I had to choose only one of them it would be the Hifiman Edition X.

This would be a nice comparison. That's quite the lineup.
New arrival shook things up.
Focal Utopia - A game changer. Truly at another level compared to anything else I've had or heard.
ZMF Auteur - Wow, that warm inviting sound that is so musical, is balanced from head to toe with just enough coloration to keep it fatigue free yet still exciting.
Campfire Audio Andromeda - The closest thing to Utopia. I don't know how Ken Ball does his tuning magic but damn, props.
LFF Code Sex - This is a mastering grade planar. No other planar seems to get everything right as much as this. No treble ****ery here.
Sennheiser HD650 - A classic, a work horse, the golden reference at it's price point. HD660S who?
Massdrop x Mee Audio Pinacle PX - Double as hearing protection at work and have a pleasing non fatiguing sound with an incredible sound stage.
Acoustic Research AR-H1 - A fun slightly v shaped sounding planar with a great sound stage. Nails live concerts, especially rock.
Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro 250 Ohm - Still a good headphone for the money, some mods to taste.

New Head-Fier
1. Audeze LCD-3 (I got them during Audeze recent black friday sale)
2. Akg Q701
Have to say though I am hoping the audeze sound a lit bit better when I upgrade my amp and dac because as they currently stand I would be upset if I paid full price for them.

You have been a very busy man! Hopefully you’ll be bringing some to most to the meet. You have REALLY stepped up your game C!

My ranking
1) Final D8000 and Audeze LCD 4 - ex aequo: (Final D8000 more neutral, LCD4 more fun)
3) Stax SR 007 - below 1) because more complex to drive, not materially worse re sound (possibly slightly re bass, compensated by filigran treble)
4) Obravo east-1c (a charm, as an open in-ear almost as good as 1,2 and 3, expensive)
5) Audeze LDC i4 (very good value for money, in particular w reveal ad-in)
6) Audeze LCD-X (real good working horse, really good value)
7) Campfire Vega (rugged in-ear)
8) Audeze LCD 2
9) Fostex TD 500
All with Hugo 2

Time for an update.
1. Fostex THX00-Purple Heart & Beyerdynamic T70. I can't decide which one of these 2 I like better..they are both equal in level of sound quality but the T70 outperforms the TH-X00 when used with my Cyrus CD6 and Cyrus Linkport digital amplifier.
3. Symphonized Magnum Wood Headphones (a rebrand of the Meze 88 Classics).
4. AKG Q701.
5. Audio Technica ATH-M50X Red/Gold Limited Edition.

LCD-3f, Ether Flow Open-tie
Ether Flow Closed
HD800
Grado PS1000E, Audeze iSine -tie
The rest; Grado 325E, K7XX
I’ll relate my CIEMs once I finally get my review published.

1. L700
2. HD800 (SDR mod incoming)
