Maybe we can just form a meet up for Fostex T50/T50RP testing
I feel that my T50RP meet the LCD-2. Just meet. But the LCD-2 with Red Wine Audio hops above the T50RP
But that's amazing for $75 + $0.58 for express shipping.
I'm actually wearing them at the moment and can't really can't ask for more. Perfect bass, mids highs, soundstage, clarity, speed. Man, switching off my HD598 to these feels like a kick in the crotch. just "night and day".
For comparison (with popular cans):
Shure 940 - T50RP sound like a huge step up with more bass and speed of the driver.
HD598 - I compare to the 940 as a funner side. So more analytical and everything heightened for the T50RP.
MDR-V6 - not as neutral, but leagues over quality.
HD650 - T50RP has more speed and better bass impact. Same soundstage and clarity.
HD600 - T50RP has more speed and better detail. The bass is also better controlled
Of course this is all on the mods I put on my own. Check my signature the "modded" next to the T50RP review for my current mods and detailed pictures.
