Hi Jerome,

thankfully the Australian dollar has strengthened again so i can go back to that now... although unfortunately it's only strengthened because of all the coal and uranium we export... whoops.

Might as well post a pic of my electrostatics while I'm at it.



Anyone interested in some LCD-2's, pm me. I want to upgrade to the LCD-3's.

My biggest issue with headphones is that I find it's so easy to lose yourself in the music at SPL's that can cause permanent damage to your hearing.

That's a critical callout. Biggest concern I have as well. Soooo easy to damage hearing thru headphones.

Hi Rmac,

I've found the LCD2 paints a very engaging potrayal of music when it comes to the recording and the gear... it has a balance of virtues that makes listening easy and just a bit mesmerising... from my understanding the LCD3 adds a level of transparency and resolution that makes it more revealing of sources and recordings... more highly tuned and potentially a less forgiving ride so you may feel the bumps a bit more. Just that (as usual in our pursuit) resolution can be a double edged sword and requires an escalating commitment to the whole system.

Mike,

Your headphone list in your signature tells a different story... you've got a bad case of headphonitis goin on there
