    Hahaha but the isolation of TH*00 sucks! LCD-XC should be the best isolation headphone that I've tried, as it gave both me and my friend the "active noise cancelling like muffling effect". As long as it's better than TH-900.
    
    Thank you, I'm going to lurk on local 2nd hand app, and man, some of the wood pattern looks goooood

    Dangit- forgot to listen at CanJam. Other people told me the same thing, that the FT1 is great and only $150. This might be a great loaner candidate!

    Indeed. I acquired one impulsively and have been impressed thus far.

  Pre fazor LCD-3 or LCD-2 worth picking up? If so which of the two?

    Only if you have money to burn. It's a tossup as to what you're getting and grade A unicorns are usually either not on sale or will die soon. The grade B and C stuff usually lasts for some reason

    What ChaCha said. That early stuff from Audeze could vary so much that I’d have to put my ears on it. Even then, I’d be afraid of longevity.

  Been out of the game for a while, anyone in Europe have a DAC to sell? Like BF2 or dac2541, can consider something cheaper also.

    Amp is SW51+. Needs to have decent USB and SE outs.

  Just put up eight acoustic panels 60x60cm each. Really makes a difference!

    My wife looked at me like I was crazy when I went to hang a folded blanket over the TV. I'm just paving the way for panels and bass traps :).

    Sounds good. For placing your side panels, use the mirror trick. https://www.gikacoustics.com/video-early-first-reflection-points/

    Sounds $$$. My InEar budget is not that prioritized. Only need something comfy for Gym and Travel. Very happy with my Yamaha EPH-100, but the adapter thingy is very annoying.

    Not having a volume knob for nearfield is not ideal. M51 is up for sale :)
