What did you buy today? (Part 1)

Lol, in high school I fit 3 mtx blue thunder 10 inch woofers and 4 6x9s in my Jeep Wrangler. Loud, but thank god I had the 6x9s for mids and treble, lol.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not directly comparing the kph30i and the TR-X00 PH. My point was bass quantity is not my problem, its quality. The Porta Pros have a similar quantity of bass as the kph30i, but have a much higher quality to my ears. Like I said in a previous post, I think I got a bum pair of kph30i since it uses the same driver as the Porta Pros but sounds objectively worse (same or at least very similar sound signature but with bloated bass and muffled highs).

Your picture just reminded me to change from Burson Fun to Liquid Spark (right beside each other). :grinning:

I understand. You aren’t totally wrong though, the kph30i does have more bass than the porta pro…but the way in which you are describing them, you may have a bum pair. Either way, I highly recommend the yaxi pads. They fix a lot of the issues with the porta pro and kph30i. I havent tried them on the ksc75 yet, but I’ve heard good things about those with yaxi pads as well.

Anybody curious about how the Focal Elegia is working out for me…it is amazing. My Elegia has joined the ranks with my Atticus as my 2 favorite closed backs. The fun neutralish sound of the elegia compliments the fun bassy U shaped sound of the Atticus perfectly. I’m hoping to eventually get an Aeolus or Auteur to compliment my LCD-2C in the same fashion.

What would you say is the biggest strength of the LCD2 Classic?

Definitely the quality of the bass and the mids. The treble isnt as good as the LCD-2 Fazor, but for fun listening it is great. It definitely is on the warmer darker side, but the 2C does have more width in the soundstage compared to the LCD-2 fazor version. I prefer the 2C for aggressive music to tone down things. The 2F is much more balanced, yet still warm for sure. If one wants something from Audeze with better treble, the LCD-X and LCD-3 are a better option, albeit much more expensive.

I tried the LCD 2’s a few times 3 or 4 years ago and wasn’t real impressed. Sounded kind of boring to me. But I have been reading a lot about the LCD2 C’s that sounds like they might be interesting to me. I recently saw some used and tried to trade, but that didn’t work. Then I saw an open box pair, but that was still a little pricey.

I try to get info on certain headphones so that, if a deal pops up, I know enough to jump on it.

Thanks for the feedback.

HD800S. I think I’m done for now until I muster enough motivation to go for a Susvara. I’m quite happy with ā€œmyā€ TOTL stable: HD800S, HE-6 (prototype modded), and Arya.

Ebay lured me in to buy a Rupert Neve RNHP last night. Too good a price to pass up! Let the waiting begin…:stopwatch:

Let’s go lol, curious to see what you think :+1:

Everything I’ve heard and read gives me a lot of confidence it will be just what I’m looking for. I’m surprised that there aren’t more online reviews of the RNHP, but the ones I have seen are saying exactly what I want to hear. Plus, all the comments in the forum have been nothing but solid. I got a good price too! I can’t believe how much people are asking on EBay. Sometimes a couple hundred over retail.

@M0N BTW, the Studio 530’s are fantastic. Everything I heard about their transparency has been right on. The music just sort of hangs in the air in front of you. The soundstage is better than I anticipated and they are really comfortable and relaxed for a quasi-monitor but really revealing. Top notch tweeters. I need a sub that can keep up with these now! I will probably enjoy them as is for a while. My sub is OK for the time being.
