Hi peeps,
I'm in the market for an upgrade to my LCD-2 R1s. My stack is a Auralic Aries connected to a Audio-GD Master 7 DAC with a Master 6 amp for good measure.
I could get those HE-1000s on sale at Adorama for 2100, but i'm in NJ and have to pay tax, and on top of that I would have to get a new cable.
I could also buy some used LCD-3s, but I question if those are a true upgrade over the LCD-2. Also they look the same, so the shinyness factor isnt there.
3rd option I could get some HD 800s. Also not sure if they're an upgrade, and not sure if I want to go through all the effort to make them sound good.
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. I listen to a lot of country and pop. I like good detail and warmth, something I can sit with for hours without too much strain.
Thanks for all your help!
