I just finish my balanced, 8 wire, silver/Teflon, DIY cable for my LCD-2.
I also made a set of adapters for speaker amp setup.
My balanced system is not yet completed, but I was able to test out a T-amp (TA2024) from my desk system.
Wow! Great results! It best my modded Matrix M-Stage. Plenty of power driving the LCD-2; listening level is achieved at 9 o'clock of the volume knob.
Who needs to spend big buck for fantastic performance. The T-amp is only 1/5 the price of the M-Stage.
However, do not try this with 1/4" headphone plugs, as T-amp cannot have a common ground between the headphone drivers.
A balanced type of cable is required, so as to not short circuit the T-amp.
The cost of T-amp is minuscule, please give a T-amp a try if you are re-cabling. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
I would like to hear the experiences of others who have tried T-amps with their headphones. T-amps might just be the inexpensive and high performance solution to power hungry orthodynamic headphones.
