Hi all, Been a while since I've been on the forums. I have a pair of Gen1 LCD-2's and a first run Cavalli Liquid Carbon which I love thanks to the advise I got here. But now I'm looking to upgrade my old Grado SR225e's. Since headphones.com doesn't carry many Grado's and I don't believe any...

Hey all, I've realized it's time to upgrade my portable setup.  I use it for 8-10 hours a day work and then even when not at work.   DAP - I'm looking at the FiiO X5 II.  Price to performance seems quite good and it has a lot of storage space.  What's the point of a high end player if you...

Hey all,  I'm looking to upgrade my portable setup since I use it for like 8-10 hours a day and an iPod Classic with RE-400s is a pretty sorry setup when compared to my at home gear.   To be honest, I've never been too happy with IEMs.  I dunno if my ears are just a odd size or what but I seem...

Hey all,   I'm in need of a balanced cable for my LCD-2 with the Cavalli amp I have on order.   Now I could buy the cable from Audeze, but I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron and make the rest of my cables.   Now I know that HP cable is normally a really high strand count, is this for...

Hey all,  I'm at the point where I need to get an amp and could use some suggestions.   My current system is: LCD-2.2 headphones, Focusrite Forte adc/dac, Rega RP6 w/ Exact 2 and Musical Surroundings Phenomena 2+.   Amps I've heard: Burson - I've listened to a number of them but found the...

Hey all,   I recently contacted Audeze about upgrading my LCD-2 R2s with Fazors and it turns out I can for $275 + shipping both ways.   Not knowing anyone in the area with a set I can compare to and my search skills failing to find anything I figured I'd post a thread.     Anyone heard...

Hey guys,   I was at my local shop the other day and on my way out the guy said they had a Cavalli Liquid Fire and I should check it out.  Now a few things don't match up with what I saw and what I found out about the amp afterwords.  So I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me figure out...

Hey guys,   So I spent the evening playing with headphones and amps at my local shop and having a blast figuring out what all works well together and putting it against everything else.  Now I'm a tone and impact guy (Listen to hard rock and metal mostly) so soundstaging and ultimate macro...

Hey guys/gals,   Since the nearest Audez'e dealer is a 14hr round trip from me and their apparently not taking new dealers until they get the LCD-3 back on track (Or so my local shop that is trying to become a dealer tells me)... I'm looking at buying a pair of LCD-2s (or perhaps 3s but I...

Hi all,   I wanted to say thanks for the great forum.  It helped me a lot when I first got back into Hi-FI and got my Grado 225i's.  But I find I'm looking to upgrade and the Grado sound isn't doing it for me anymore.  Since the Grados I've gotten a pair of B&W CM5's, which well have a...
