In Reply to: Stax headphones are the best .... posted by trioderob on December 22, 2019 at 23:11:12:
While I in general agree that Stax headphones are outstanding, the Audeze LCD 3/4 headphones can compete with them very well.
I had a pair of Stax SR-007 II and a KGSSHV amp from Mjolnir Audio. I thought the combo sounded great. My only knit was that some recordings just sounded a bit threadbare.
Went a long time not listening to headphones, and wound up selling the setup. Well, after several months, the desire to have headphones came back. I had feedback from a number of fellow audiophools that planar headphones have many of the qualities of ESL cans, and can provide a fuller sound compared to ESL.
I can report that the Audeze LCD-3 cans are every bit as enjoyable as the Stax SR-007, and in many cases, do indeed a fuller sound over the Stax.
BTW, I get it that at this level, the headphone amp can make a large difference. Since I had such a positive experience with Mjolnir regarding amps, went with a Mjolnir Dynalo amp to drive the LCD-3 headphones. To me, it's as good as the Stax setup on most recordings, and exceeds the Stax on other recordings.
