What have you guys been throwing money at?
I just pulled the trigger on a near new set of Audeze LCD2 R2 headphones. Previous owner purchased them in late January 2013 and he recently encountered a driver problem which was rectified by sending them in to Audeze. They replaced the drivers and included a new frequency response chart. I saved just under $1000 by buying them through the head-fi BST rather than grabbing them from the NZ supplier.
I've grown used to neutral -> bright headphones so it's going to be interesting trying a dark set of cans. I'll be driving them via Odac -> Little Dot MKIII amp for now. If I really enjoy them then I'll consider shelling out on a better suited dac/amp setup. I don't feel overly comfortable spending so much money on a set of headphones that I've never tried but I've been oggling these for ages now so I just thought f**k it. They've just departed Singapore. I let you guys know my first impressions once I've had a decent listen.


The apparent wear on the left hand piece of rosewood is actually just the lighting/reflections.
