I am more a classical person, that's why the hifimans (more so than the LCD-2 I think) are good for me

 

Love to audition the STAX, but I always feel intimidated when I go to those high end shops at Adelphi.

 

So did you get a STAX system in the end?

 

LCD-3 is out by the way, but nearly USD2000

Dont worry about it, just go in and test. They are friendly folks... once you put on the headphone, the sales cannot disturb you

I did not purchase the Stax, instead i channel the 6k over to a hifi setup.

Once you get into hifi, it is hard to go back to head-fi.

Yes, it is pricey.

Was quoted around S$6200 for the combo (SR007 mk2 + SRM727ii). But the attack is damn fast, listen to rock music is damn shiok.

I think it is hard to imagine. just go and try and get an idea.

Ya, i think they also have 507 for testing if i remember correctly.. SR007 is just right next to it, so... high chance u will test it

Have fun!

Which STAX is good?

 

I am using Hifiman HE4 with EF5 now. Quite good I must say

I tried Stax SR-007 MK2 at Music By Design and was very very impressed with STAX technology.

Tested with Michael Jackson's Dangerous album.

Do give it a try.

IMO, I think Dynamics and planar headphones no fight.

I agree that LCD-2 is really heavy.

Nonetheless, the sound is very good... just need to compromise abit by giving up abit on comfort.

If you have a deep pocket, try STAX.. very light, very comfortable and the sound is amazing.

IMO, no dynamic headphone is able to match.

anyone know if David is selling the LCD-2 with the latest cable? (ADZ-5) and the option to change to the plastic travelling case?

how is the player sounding for you now?

*curious*

Give or take if your HD-650 cost 6xx & the cable change cost you 25% or more than is the equation balance with our overall setup?

yup. I got my HD650 at $600. With the DIY cable costing around $150, yes, it is roughly 25% the cost of my headphone.

But IMO, that can really give you some huge improvement over stock cable.

I waited for a year before I decided to go for cable upgrade. Not a easy choice because I was not a cable believer in the past.

The next upgrade (HD800) is abit too 'far' for me currently - CK Tangs is selling at S$2.2k

You should try Blue Dragon. Much much better than the stock.

I managed to get my friend to DIY for me.

Total cost only about $150 which is half the cost if you compare to those ready-made from Drew (Moon-Audio).

The improvement is huge from Stock! =)

I thought Sim Lim Square is chop carrot one? Can buy things from there meh?
