Hater
P.S. Try using it at 65db. It works better.
No dude...you're wrong!
Tyll...try turning the amp off first. Make sure it stays off. Works best that way.

Pretty Lemon Brown here.

Have we ever talked about Gene Simmons' interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air?
O.M.G. what an epic douche. He refused to let Fresh Air host the interview like they normally do.
But it's here for your listening displeasure.
Wow. What an ass.
Wow...in the first minute you can see how much of an ass he is.
This is one of the main reasons I have never followed his show and his music. Total asshole IMHO. ;-)

x2. Is 30 the new 20 or 40? Can never keep track.
Feels like the new 60!
-
Yes....indeed...I am "only" 30.....
-
Awww...thanks guys! So nice of you.
My birthday sucked and I have yet to experience anything dirty while I am 30 (three days in...).....but here's hoping!
Regardless....thanks so much for all the messages my friends!

Happy Birthday!!!

That stuff is there - just buried. n3rdling's three sentence comparison between the R10 and LCD3 told us a lot more about those headphones than Skylab's several paragraphs.
Agreed.

If anyone can figure out what's going on here, let me know. 'Cuz I'm stumped.
Count the people.
It's an illusion.
In the 13 person set-up, each figure has contributions to legs, body, or head from only one of the display parts, leaving the remaining parts available to produce an extra character.

I think that people who write truly honest reviews will eventually benefit because they'll start only getting really good gear offered to them for review...
Not true.....
That said, what I do when I don't like something is simply not write anything about it as a review but I will post about in threads unless the manufacturer expects a review be it good or bad. Some of the stuff I have written about wasn't even sent to me by the manufacturers and I still get accused of being a shill. As for Skylab - it says a lot when you love Darth Beyers.

Heard the LCD-3 as well and spent some decent time with it and with some of the best music I know.
It was merely "meh". Like Purrin said, it is what the LCD-2 should have been. I always thought the LCD-2 would be a bargain at $500. I feel the LCD-3 would be a bargain at $800. If the LCD-3 was priced at $1000, I would consider that "pushing it"..let alone anything above $1,200.00.
As for soundstage - based off my listening...same as the LCD-2 which is to say..."meh"...
I did like it, don't get me wrong...it's a nice headphone but it's nothing special, especially for the price.

Seth MacFarlane
My favorite album of the year thus far.
They went through a lot of trouble to get the sound "right" but screwed it up in the mastering. That said, it remasters beautifully!

Like I said before, the bass produced by my LCD-2r2 on symphonies is more similar to the bass produced by my full-range Dali speakers and even my Focal studio monitors. It seems to me that it's the SR-009 which aren't conveying the bass all that well, not the LCD-2, Dalis, and Focals.
The bass is still pretty good on the SR-009, just not as good. Beyond that, there's something about the tonality of the SR-009 that sounds wrong to me when I listen to certain music like the Mahler symphony I mentioned before. It's not really bad - just a little strange and not what I hear on my speakers and the LCD-2.
By the way, I'm using a KGSS with the SR-009.
I guess we have to agree to disagree.

I agree that the Stax is incredibly neutral (probably the closest thing to the definition of neutral that I can think of). That said, the bass reproduction of the LCD-3 is, in my mind, not just a question of exaggeration. While it's certainly on the warm side of neutral, there is bass and low bass information that is clearly present on the recording that is presented with an incredible amount of texture and detail that was (in my opinion, under show conditions, etc.) unmatched by the SR-009.
That's a bit contradictory.
If the Stax 009 is neutral and it doesn't present you bass and/or low bass, then it is certainly not on the recording. I have verified this myself on the 009's. I found them to be extremely accurate and to quote you - "the closest thing to the definition of neutral that I can think of". The amount of texture and detail across the frequency range on the 009's is superb and unmatched by any other headphone I have heard. If the LCD-2 or LCD-3 is spewing out low bass and/or bass on a recording when it wasn't present on the 009's, then something is being misrepresented with one of the 'phones and so far, in my experience with the LCD-2 and the 009, it hasn't been the 009's. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that certain cans have a fun, colored sound...it's not and there is a place for both, but for my money, and based on experience, neutrality is something much more difficult to obtain.
Agreed. The best test of this in my view is classical orchestral music with drums. Components that don't excel in bass tend to sound anemic on orchestral drums even if they sound ok on electronica, rap, etc. The LCD-2 bass sounds much closer to what I hear from my full-range speakers on orchestral drums. The SR-009 sound pretty anemic on this in comparison.
That is one of my first tests as well. I use two different recordings for this and I found the LCD-2 to not sound lifelike at all. The SR-009 sounds spot on to me - even with direction which is hard to reproduce, IMHO, with the timpani. I don't want to see the world through rose colored glasses - I want full technicolor!

Happy birthday dude! Hope you have a good one at RMAF!

-If you're looking for sufficiently different from the SR-009 to justify a supplemental purchase, then you won't be disappointed. They sound very, very different from the SR-009. The Stax is incredibly neutral, airy and transparent; the LCD-3 sounds like the LCD-2 - thick, lush and musical, with the best bass I've ever heard on a headphone. Going from the Stax to the SR-009 was a huge change - I traded breathtaking transparency for the realization that there is an incredible amount of low-end information and richness that the Stax can't quite convey.
Thanks for that impression. To me, the SR-009 is absolutely neutral. If the 009 doesn't covey bass, that means there is no bass to convey in the recording. It can reproduce very low bass IF the recording contains it. That's what I would pay more $$$ for - neutrality. To me, neutrality is more difficult to achieve than coloration. If I want musical or moar bass, I have the FA-011, which isn't expensive either. To me, and this is just me....this is like paying money for this, instead of paying money for this. I'm sure both can tell time but one does it more accurately than the other.
Wait...that was a bad example on this forum....it's like the LCD-2 is this but the SR-009 is this.
Just my 2 cents though.

Happy birthday! Glad to hear it was well spent!

Ornette Coleman, Sound Grammer. WTF??? I don't like this free form mish mash stuff.
Same here. Free form is an acquired taste I guess. I've never been able to get it.
Happy Birthday NeilPeart and LFF

Spending it alone...but peacefully and happy.
