Audeze LCD2, Grado GS1000, Senn 800 AKG702.
Spent 40 mins last friday listening to Audeze, Sennheiser and AKG702. Time really flew and I don't think 40minutes was nearly enough but so far the Audeze seems like a winner to me. AKG sounded so lacking low frequency responce, the senns was very comfortable but less bottom and s-sounds a bit...- DrNope

Just purchased some Grado GS-1000's... Will be Little Dot MK/II+ do them justice?
I just purchased (second hand) some lovely GS1000's. I have a Little Dot MK/II headphone amp, and am wondering if it will drag the GS's down or not, the reviews for the MK/II were very, very good for the price and have worked well with my AKG K701's thus far. Thoughts...- sammcj

My current rig is the Little Dot Mk III+ paired with Grado RS-2i cans.
