Just been informed mine has shipped! Can't wait. Ordered through www.audition6.de after I stumbled upon it by chance. The owner Heiko Boss (yes that is his name lol) was a star to deal with and had no quibbles at all on offers or price matching competitors including shipping to the UK! Excellent communications thus far.

Once it arrives, I suggest then comparing the LCD-2s to your T1s. You might be surprised.

Ohh la la. Now I'm excited! 

 
A little secret between me and you, deep down I want to love the LCD-2's more, because to me they are the most beautiful cans I have ever laid eyes on. From the moment I saw the physical design, I loved them. Something about the retro sophisticated design, the wood, the use of metal, leather etc. Fact that I still prefer the sound of my T1's overall is a testament to Beyer's engineering pedigree. But with that said, both are remarkable cans.
 
Thing I find is, you can tweak in more bass, smoothness, thicker vocals, mids etc etc with EQ's, amps, coloured DAC's etc, but what is very hard to inject in post is three dimensionality or soundstage, unless the recording already pushes it. That's the fundamental thing that for me, has me reaching for cans like the T1's over the LCD-2's much of the time, despite the LCD-2's delicious fullness, tonality and bass. But really a lot of it boils down to my mood at the time, the recording, genre of music etc etc.

When I first got my V200 it was quite impressive in the very beginning, compared to other amps. Now, some weeks later and numerous hours / days later, the V200 is not sounding "dark" anymore. It is the rest that sounds a bit anemic. However, the difference is not day/night, but the V200 conveys music in a way that I really find appealing. 
 
HD800 and V200 is a good match. The same can be said with the LCD-2s.
 

I have one in house for a review and out of the box I would not consider this as dark sounding at all.

Looking forward to your comparison against the Taboo for the HE500.

i will do that but the comparison would be taken in context as the CSP2 and taboo combo with tubes is 2400.00 more than twice the price of the V200 but look for it as i will do it in my review and also include my SX650 in comparison. Still getting familiar with it and I am looking forward to this review. Sound nice out of box.

The V200 is by no means dark.  I think people confuse the fact that is does not have that solid state "electronic" edge to it and thus at first call it dark, but as more time is spent with it and more material is experienced thru it it's pretty obvious it is not dark.

I agree.

Ok guys, it finally arrived! Only problem is, the power cable is an EU one and I don't have a spare one. The EU one sent with it reads 16A/250 on it. I do have two spare IEC power cables, one 10A/250 and one 13A/250. Can I use either of these with the V200 or does it need to be a 16A power cable? In any case, I'll be ordering a new cable, but till it arrives I was hoping I could use one of these spares. Advice would be appreciated.
