I've been travelling for the past week but I finally got home to listen to my Zodiac today.
Do you know if the Zodiac can drive the T1's well?

Congratulations!
I would have one as well if the timing was sooner on the release. But I ended up with the Anedio so no regrets at least. It would really be interesting to compare the two. At the $1295 deal price they're peers price-wise and I assume audio quality-wise.

The LCD-2s wont disappoint. After almost a year and a half I still appreciate their amazing accuracy of reproducing sound.
After you get them please leave a link here to your impressions/review so I can hear what you think. I quit paying attention to the main threads here a long time ago.

They're fantastic. Just a great experience. The soundstage may be small, but c'mon, we're talking headphones here. Still, the separation is excellent and nothing sounds crowded. The bass lines, the vocals, everything, it all works well and coagulates into a musical loveliness my ears appreciate. The only thing lacking for me is the Zodiac's inability to drive them hard, so I've ordered an O2 as a quick and dirty solution.
$2.5K retail, but I've seen them go for as low as $1.5-1.7K on the FS boards. If it interests you, I have confirmed with Antelope that the Silver version is the same as far as sonics go. What it lacks are the pro audio connections (like AES or dejittered clock outputs) and the mute or mono-summing buttons.
The bad news is the holiday sale is over and the price has gone back up on the silver to $1.7K. It was previously $1.3K.
Thanks, the comparo between the Sliver/Gold has great interest,especially with the added cost of a PSU.
Apparently the Gold can act as a USB convertor to an outboard DAC, and might therefore be compared to a device such as the Off-Ramp 5. *That* would be interesting as well.

Yep, I think the + can act as clock/de-jittering device too. Just to reiterate what I said before, the Zodiac+ and the Silver are equals in sonic performance, while the Gold is on different level. You should definitely consider the third-party options for PS too, it makes the total price much less intimidating.
