Whitney's got my LCD3s right now and they are slated to go to Christian next week. I put Frank on the list because I know he is interested (he hasn't gotten back to me).

Let me know if anyone in the Bay Area wants to borrow them for a week. Maybe a couple more slots - I'm not itching to get them back soon or anything. I would prefer that they be picked-up or dropped-off rather than mailed. I figure this would be a good way for folks to hear the most perfect headphones evar!

I wouldn't mind taking a listen to them...

Very generous offer Marv. PM sent

Frank, could I spend an hour or so listening to them when you are done? I'd be happy to come over and save you a trip.

Absolutely! I'll even supply a six-pack to enhance the experiance.

I might be interested in taking you up on your generous offer, especially between xmas and the new year.

Can I get in on this? I haven't had a chance to hear the LCD-3's yet.

Yup.

Thanks.

Marv, if there's still a slot, I'd love to give a listen.

NP. You can grab them from Christian or Whitney when the time comes. I'll figure out the logistics. Whitney's got them for almost another week.

If anyone wants to just listen to them we could probably arrange that too. I'm home a lot so could be pretty flexible as far as coming by for a listen. I'm in Palo Alto. You could bring amps if you want too.

rd, please apply TP.

I think Horio and Neko are next. Let one of them know when you are done so they can pick it up and drop off at Whitney's place.

Okay...tonight I was going to give them back after just a few days (did not like them).

Then, rhythmdevils rolled some different damping materials into the phones.

Nothing worked...until the TP. Actually cleaned up some bass to mid-mids congestion.

Still not tons of air but nice, I will borrow them back for a couple days (Thurs night-Sat day) to confirm.

Much better. Bravo! I recommend just borrowing them with the TP.

Sounds great, Frank. Please let me know when you are ready.

o hey didn't see this thread earlier.. if there's any extra time I'd love to squeeze in a day or two.

Purrin....I'd love to take a listen to them if I'm not too late. I'm in Pacifica.

Thanks,

Bob

You guys are all in. Just make you can pick up and drop off from Whitney. I think Neko and Particleman are both in the South Bay? LOL, I'm not exactly keeping strict track of it. Let me check with Whitney and CEETEE to see where it goes next.

Okay, did my own TP modding to <be sure> the TP really helps.

It does. (But not enough for me.)

Will get them back to rhythmdevils...

CEETEE did you ever decide on what headphone you're going to build a rig around?

Think ring transducers.

ya, I'm southbay so I'll meetup with nekoaudio once hes done?

Hi there! While there is a local O2 mk II rig that is really shaping up (compared LCD3 to it tonight), I am going the HD800 route for now.

Listened to the HD800 from Peak/Volcano on a few occasions, also with Eddie Current amps, and with my own DAC and music. So, I'm comfortable that I am going to get some really great sound out of them.

But, I have now spent enough time with STAX that I do appreciate their sound and presentation too. (Took me a bit to get "used" to them.)

Think that they need other great components to shine, however...and trying to get my rig in (utilizing Super 7 pre-order price) with around 4K.

I'm in South San Jose. How do I go about this? Will someone email or PM me with a pickup time and place?
