Straight out of the box and hooked up to the C1100 and they sound simply stunning. This, once I can identify the appropriate headphone amp, will form the basis of the only second system I will have ever owned.

That is quite a beauty!!
Enjoy... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

The zebra cables and LCD looks superb.

Enjoy your new headphones, they are amazing. I tried a pair in Vancouver and was very close to buying them. The bass is fantastic. I chose the Focals but these are equally as good.

Gorgeous. Congrats.

Very nice! Did you decide upon a dedicated headphone amp yet? I bought several including the Deckard and the iFi Pro iCan for its tube or FET output stage.

I personally really love the Burson Conductor V2+. It offers 8 watts of power and is very reasonably priced.

Many thanks for the positive comments. Still breaking them in but already feel that they are tightening up and becoming more revealing. I take my hat off to the designers, despite their weight, they sit incredibly comfortably even after an extended listening session. Regarding a headphone amp, I'm in no hurry and would like to sample a few before committing. Does anyone have any experience of the recently produced Audeze 'The King' headphone amp?

Awesome!!! Please post pics of your headphone amp when you purchase it.

Highly recommend the Dragon Inspire IHA-1 headphone tube amp. Handbuilt by Dennis Had, retired founder of Cary Audio. He had the LCD-3 headphones in mind when designing this amp.

He also makes other tube amps. There is a separate long thread on his amps here on AA:
