Just finished burning mine in and had a chance to compare with my brother's LC-2s. We were both floored by how favorably they compared! Better in some respects - more precise imaging and a sense of wide open 3D space. With my class-A Musical Fidelity headphone amp, there was no sense of "veil", rather a smoothness with tons of detail. Very impressed. Great job Massdrop - I couldn't afford these otherwise.
