The Audiophile USB Cable Surprise: Wireworld Starlight Red vs Chord USB Silver Plus

The Audiophile USB Cable Surprise: Wireworld Starlight Red vs Chord USB Silver Plus

Hello guys,

This post is about USB cables and the surprise they gave me in the last few days.

Remember when I told you I had the Wireworld Starlight Red and it didn’ t seem to make that much of a difference? Well…I must come back to what I have said and contradict myself, as I really found some interesting stuff last week.

Before getting to my findings, I must say that this hobby really got me…

Audeze LCD-3's Now On Permanent Demo At HiFi Lounge!

This is just a quick post to let everyone know that we have just added the Audeze LCD-3's to our line up in the headphone room for permanent demo.

I have always wanted to spend some time listening to the LCD-3's after being won over our LCD-2's and after borrowing a pair of LCD-3's from Audeze for a customer to listen to I think it is fair to say that I have now been ruined and there was just no way I could send them back, so we now have both the Audeze LCD-2's and LCD-3's on demonstration with a selection of high end amps and a top quality sources so you can really hear them at their best and what they have to offer.

I had always read that the gap between the LCD-2's and LCD-3's was quite small with a little more top end detail, generally it was said that they were about 10% better for twice the price, well I have to say that is absolute rubbish, with the LCD-3's you do get more detail but what really struck me was how rich, full and organic the sound was, extremely lifelike. I spoke to Audeze and apparently early LCD-3's weren't quite at the level they are now as they are now using a thinner membrane making the difference between the 2's and 3's far wider.

This isn't to take anything away from the LCD-2's, they are still one of my favourite headphones, but the LCD-3's are very special indeed, tonality they rival speakers that cost £10,000+ and for what you loose in scale with a speaker you more than make up for with detail and intimacy.

If anyone would like to pop in and spend some time going through some of the best headphones available today then please feel free to pop in, spend as much time as you like, and I'll supply as much tea and coffee as you can drink :-)

Here are a few pictures of the LCD-3's -
