If there's an Audio-GD Master 11 with HE-6's, I'd like to know what the combo sounds like.

Awesome! Also Hifiman announced the Edition X, a cheaper trickle down version of the He1000. Not sure if it will be at the show but it would be worth checking out too!

I'd feel better about that if the guy had some feedback, nevermind that he registered just today...

I'm back from CanJam. I think I'm feeling overheated from to much audio gear. Never saw so much crazy sounding stuff in one place in my life.

To answer a request the Hifiman Edition X sounded fabulous. It's very much a baby sounding HE1000. The awesome part about it, it's very easy to drive. You can drive it quite well with a DAP.

The LCD-4 sounded quite nice too and was a nice update. Seems like each new rendition of the LCD line walks closer and closer towards the neutral line. The house sound Audeze is known for is still there but the new flagship is more neutral and every bit more refined sounding then the 3.

The two manufacturers that stole the show for me was Final Audio and MrSpeakers.

The EtherC kicks ass and although closed it does not sound like a closed back. Matter of fact, it sounds more open then some open backs I can name.

I tried various IEMs from Final Audio and the company puts out IEMs that are all that plus a bag of chips with a can of coke. The flagship sounded crazy detailed. Also, their new lineup of headphones were also impressive and looked every bit the part of royalty. What's that mean? It means their headphones were built from premium materials and very well constructed as well as comfortable. To bad other manufacturers can't follow suit with their own top tier cans and use such extravagant materials.

Overall it was a fun time, albeit, I got home exhausted. I'm all head-died out. I slept from when I got home at 6 PM until almost 11AM the next day

Nice! Any word on the HE-X pricing? Baby HE-1000 - as in smaller sound stage?

Thanks for the impressions on the LCD4!

I thought I read 1.3k somewhere?... don't quote me on that though.

I only got under 2000. They haven't decided on pricing yet.

The HE X isn't as capable as the flagship. From what I could gather it's a product based on the same technology. The sound stage isn't small but it isn't as well defined as the HE1000

Under $2k? That still puts it in LCD 2/3 and HD800 price categories...this might be what im looking for as my next upgrade Assuming its on par with those 2 but with the HE-1000 sound (a bit fuller/smoother than the 800, from what i hear)
