I'm about this close to calling it...

While my O2 was off getting a new cable and pads installed, HighEnd Workshop in the UK did a fantasic by the way and cost less than Yamasinc including shipping, I started looking at dynamics/orthos that have come out since 2006. Now with the O2 back on my head I just don't see a rival coming along

I started with the Concerto, ya ya I know, and the HE-5LE. Nice for a dynamic rig but no. Brought in the Senn 800... no. Beta22... no. Still holding out for the LCD-2, maybe T1 but whats the joke?

Off topic, something finally made its way to between two pins on one of the output transistors of my KGSS and burnt/arced for a while and left a nice ding in the top layer of the PCB. I've cleaned it with alcohol, and the rest of the amp got vacuumed/dusted to clear out the rest of the damn cat hair... Anyway arcing gone, hole clean, no smoke, perfect sound... good to go?

I hope your good to go, as long as the damage wasn't in shortening the life span of those output transistors. I also enjoyed hearing the LCD-2. Its probably my favorite phone of the new releases.

I think you'll like the LCD2 but not as much as the O2. Will be interesting to see what you decide though.

[manaox2]

Yeah, I don't like the LCD-2 more then the O2. But it seems like a great complimentary phone.

On the smoke, Justin has reassured me that its likely cosmetic and that I should test a few points to be sure. Phew

[The Monkey]

cosmetic smoke is the best.

I thought this was magic smoke?...

I just can't keep up with you kids these days.

To be clear, its what sat between the pins that smoked, poor George
