I still like the Audezes more than most other pyrates FWIW. 2.2 is probably the best version.
I certainly like Audezes more than most other pyrates. I haven't been able to find another headphone to share the throne. The HD800 exceeds it in technicalities, sure, but tonally the LCD-2.2 is my preference. If I had to pick one, it would be the LCD-2.2; especially since I don't find the technicalities-gap night and day on my equipment. That said, I bought my LCD-2.2 in my younger, more vulnerable years. I wouldn't pony up for an Audeze now. The apparent product variation is prohibitive.

Bill's mod was way too bright when I heard it at CanJam.

He toned it down a bit...I owned the 2.2 and 3 together for a year and got rid of the 3 quicker than the 2.2. Agree with you.

A good (Grade A- or better) LCD2.2 in a Sennheiser package would be nice.

Keep the Pioneers to silence the "newer-is-better-cult." Purgatory can still lead to heaven.

Ok, based on OJ's chart, I have nothing to do... I think the ultimate chart would be one that provides a suggested path (as this does) but considering the DAC and the amp e.g. Yggy->KGSShv-> SR 009. It would be complicated given the permutations and combinations but fun as hell.

Add: I have the HD 800 with Anax 2.0; just waiting for the EC amps

KGSSHV is midfi purgatory for amps. ;)

Then why am I looking at right now using Firefox?

Agreed, fantastic flow chart :)
As an Asian American living in China, I admit that no other pair of headphones screams "CHINA" like the HE-1000's aesthetics.
