On Thursday at the 72nd Annual Meeting and Luncheon of the Chattanooga Convention and Visitors Bureau, officials with city, county and state government past and present came together to recognize the importance of tourism to the area. Through the spirit of cooperation, Chattanooga and Hamilton County have been successful in becoming the fourth county of destination in the state of Tennessee for tourism according to Jim Coppinger, Hamilton County mayor.
Bob Doak, CCVB president and CEO, told the audience of over 1,000 that the tourism industry booked a record 156,000 hotel rooms in 2012.
Tourism is responsible for contributing $1 billion per year to the economy of the city. It creates 8,500 full time jobs in Hamilton County. Local sales tax derived from this industry is $19 million. The seven percent state sales tax provides $35 million each year to the state of Tennessee. Hamilton County is responsible for generating seven-eight percent of that amount from tourist dollars. Fifty cents of every dollar in sales tax received by Hamilton County goes toward education. This amounts to $9.6 million, County Mayor Coppinger told the audience.
A study by the University of Tennessee determined that each resident of Hamilton County pays $500 less each year because of the money created from visitors. Mr. Doak said that Chattanooga has received a score of 99.2 out of 100 for customer satisfaction. He added, "This community knows how to take care of its visitors and make them feel welcome."
"The state's chief executive is an ardent supporter of tourism and is in our corner and that is producing some positive results", Mr. Doak said of the guest speaker for the day, Governor Bill Haslam.
Taking the stage, the governor relayed a story about a trip to Japan to recruit businesses to come to the state. While in Tokyo the U.S. Ambassador to Japan took him to a country music bar where customers there were excited to have the governor of Tennessee in their midst. This is an example showing that the state has a "brand" called Tennessee, said Governor Haslam. That attracts business and people. Chattanooga and Hamilton County has done a lot to contribute to this, he said.
"Chattanooga has become a model of what it is like to work together" to achieve a goal, said the governor referring to the city, county and state working in cooperation to make the area a destination for travelers.
Claude Ramsey, who served 16 years as Hamilton County mayor and as deputy governor for the past two years, has been shaping the Chattanooga community for the past 41 years and is a loyal supporter of tourism, said Bob Doak.
Jon Kinsey was introduced as someone who began his career as a night auditor in a local hotel and moved on to become a successful developer, mayor of Chattanooga, chairman of the CCVB and an investor in the city's restaurants and entertainment venues.
Mr. Ramsey has been known for collaboration, tolerance and compromise, said Mr. Doak and Mr. Kinsey has been known for doing it right the first time and for fiscal responsibility. Together they were known as the "Dynamic Duo" because of their understanding of cooperation and that tourism fuels the economy, and that increasing it might lead to visitors coming back to make an investment in the area. For being instrumental in building Chattanooga into what it is today, the CCVB presented both men with an award for outstanding service and contributions to the city.
Governor Haslam also has this same understanding of cooperation and has put together a tourism committee of 22 people from across Tennessee, to create a plan to promote the entire state. He asked the legislator, earlier this year, to provide $8 million to "sell Tennessee." They were wise enough to do that, said the governor. This will mean jobs and revenue for the state, he said. There is a synergy in Tennessee evidenced by statistics such as the state ranking first in the Southeast for personal income growth and first in the Southeast and fifth in the country for job growth and one of the top five states in the country in which to run a business. He said that Tennessee has the lowest debt per person of any state in the country. Work, however, is still needed to raise the bar of education that will supply the workforce of the future.
Governor Haslam said he is grateful for the leadership in the Chattanooga area. "When you have some spare time, Tennessee is the very best place to spend it," he said.
More specifically, Mayor Andy Berke told those in the room that visitors to this area leave with the impression that the city is vibrant and that there is great name recognition of Chattanooga. Contributing to this are features such as the mountains, the river and the city itself. He said "It's a great time to be in Chattanooga."

ATLANTA, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VersionOne, recognized by agile practitioners as the leader in agile project management tools, today announced the availability of its Fall 2012 Release with an innovative new TeamRoom environment. TeamRoom is a simple, lightweight team-based environment dedicated to supporting the daily activities of today's agile development teams. In addition to TeamRoom, innovative new visualizations, Kanban improvements, and new reporting capabilities round out the release.
TeamRoom supports team members' daily activities, providing interactive storyboards and taskboards, integrated team communication, and helpful information for daily stand-ups. Developers can easily customize their TeamRoom with mascots and avatars, select the information panels to display that are important to them, and even implement their own team-based WIP limits.
"Today's agile project management tools cater to either the development team or the project manager, but not both," said VersionOne President and CEO, Robert Holler. "With our latest release, software organizations finally get the benefit of both an enterprise agile lifecycle management tool for roll-up and reporting purposes along with a simple, streamlined team experience. By allowing TeamRooms to be uniquely configured by the team with team mascots, personal avatars, custom views, and their own WIP limits, the personality of teams can take front-and-center, yet still provide the visibility needs of the enterprise."
"TeamRoom creates the perfect lightweight planning and tracking environment for an agile team in larger organizations," said Eddy Hernandez, Web Developer at Rackspace, a San Antonio, TX-based open cloud services provider. "It harnesses that natural collaboration you get when team members are a shoulder tap away. Whether you're a new member to the team or a just an outsider looking in, TeamRoom provides the transparency needed to quickly spin up on a project with minimal overhead."
Additional features being introduced in VersionOne's Fall 2012 Release include:
- Epic Visualization – helps product managers see and navigate from top-to-bottom across their epic and story hierarchies.
- Relationship Visualization - enables everyone to understand relationships between workitems flowing through the development cycle.
- Storyboard Aging – shows the time workitems have been in process, helping teams identify stalled stories and potential project impediments.
- Multi-Column WIP Limits - allows teams to set WIP limits across multiple statuses for more granular process control.
- Project Summary Reporting - enhanced reporting for teams to track their projects' health over time.
- Timesheet Reporting via CA Clarity - enhancements to the CA Clarity™ Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) integration to integrate time reporting and prevent duplicate entry.
Live demonstrations of VersionOne's Fall Release and TeamRoom will be held on November 8, 13 and 20. More information can be found at http://www.versionone.com/Product/teamroom/.

Read on for tips about preventing and responding to plumbing emergencies in your house or apartment.
It's worth it to educate yourself about the different kinds of plumbing parts in your house and what they do. Find out more here.
I just wanted say how grateful I am that Fred Smith was able to fix my heating system. It is a big relief for my wife and I, considering our babies' room was without heat for most of last winter. There were at least three other companies that we had contacted to deal with the problem over the last year. They all suggested different things and none of them were able to solve the problem. Then fortunately a friend referred me to your company. Gary Stern was very professional and courteous. He sent over Dennis Dedian who was evidently a lot more knowledgeable and experienced than any of the other "specialists" who set foot in my apartment. He knew what needed to be done and did it. Once again hats off to Dennis and Fred Smith. I will recommend you to anyone and everyone who needs an outstanding and reliable plumbing and heating company.
Having had problems continuously with our shower clogging and trying several declogging agents, I decided to look for a plumber as it was clear we were not going to be successful on our own this time. I found Fred Smith Plumbing to be one that I would call first. I phoned around 10:15 AM and a very polite lady answered and took our information and asked if it were possible for someone to come between 11 AM and 12 PM? I was surprised that it could happen so quickly. Promptly at 11:40 AM a tech showed up! He accessed the situation and quoted me a fair price. He went back to his truck and in the end took care of the problem. I was very happy that he was able to get things taken care of so quickly. He also threw in a trap to keep the hair from going down at no charge. I would call them again in a heartbeat.
Dear Mr. Kraus, I have recently completed extensive renovation on my apartment on Park Avenue. The job required one and one-half years and a multitude of contractors before its completion. After considerable dissatisfaction with other plumbing contractors, my superintendent recommended Fred Smith, our building plumbing company. James Keeney was assigned to my job. All my plumbing concerns and problems were resolved at that point. Mr. Keeney is both knowledgeable and receptive to his clientele. Under his directive your company has proved most efficient and reliable. Your technicians were excellent and Mr. Keeney particularly outstanding. I have and will continue to recommend the Fred Smith organization and Mr. Keeney and intend to use you for all future work.
If you own a house or commercial building, you're bound to need a plumber at some point. Here's a list of the different kinds of plumbing services you might need assistance with:
Pipe Installation
You might only think of needing a plumber when the pipes in your house burst. However, a plumbing contractor also installs all of those pipes, whether they're made of PVC or copper, in your building. Professional plumbing services also lay pipe in place for wastewater, rainwater runoff and even air conditioning systems.
Not only do they install pipes, plumbers set up sewer lines and vents as well as gutters, down pipes and storage tanks for residential and commercial facilities.
Maintenance Work
Just like getting a regular oil change for your car or truck, your home's pipes and water system also need regular maintenance and check-ups to ensure they're running right. This is why plumbers also offer upkeep services to test your entire plumbing system on a monthly or biannual basis to catch any issues with your pipes before they become an emergency.
This type or work spans from moving a water line or cleaning a sewer line to installing an ice maker or even a hot tub.
Repair Services
Most likely, you'll need a plumber in case of an emergency repair. Services can run the gamut from repairing a clogged toilet and leaking faucets to replacing whole water heating systems. Some jobs can take just a few hours while others might require a day or two of work if the repairs are extensive, such as replacing a hot water heater.
Other tough jobs could require your plumbing contractor to put his or her carpentry skills to work by sawing through walls to get to your pipes.
You can also hire a plumber to get the cost-saving advice you need. If you're interested in buying a new home or property, it's smart to hire a contractor or a plumbing service to not only tell you if the building's foundation is sound, but also if the pipes are in good working order. You wouldn't want to purchase a new house and repair the damage someone else did to the property. This is why many plumbers also offer consultancy work to check a facility's water and gas systems and advise home and building owners on best practices they can perform to minimize damage to their pipes.
Having plumbing work done, whether it's for your home or business, can be incredibly expensive. That's why its vital for you to ask a plumbing service the right kind of questions before you hire them. You want to do as much due diligence on your part as possible to get a professional who will not only do quality work but also charge you a fair price for it.
It's best to hire a plumber to do a simple, everyday maintenance task for you first so you can judge his or her work. If you're happy with it, save their contact information so you'll have them on hand in case you need an emergency repair. This can spare you the extra worry and anxiety of having to track down a plumber if you have a broken pipe. Additionally, it can save you from being overcharged.
However, what should you ask a plumbing service if you've never even hired one before? Here are a few questions that can help you identify the professional from the amateur:
Are you licensed and registered?
Some states do not require plumbers to be licensed, but for the safety of your house, the people living under your roof and for your pocketbook, you'll want a licensed plumber to do the needed work.
A licensed plumber means the person completed the necessary education or training required to work as a professional tradesperson. Hiring a licensed plumbing service means the people working on your building are knowledgeable about water and gas pipes. If you use unlicensed workers, you run the risk of them damaging your home even further and endangering you by doing faulty work.
Check your state's laws beforehand, as hiring an unlicensed plumber could be illegal where you live.
Not only does a plumber's apprentices have to complete their training and education to receive their license, they also are required to pass a criminal background check and carry liability insurance. Hiring just anybody can make you vulnerable to fraud since unlicensed plumbers might not know what they're doing or could pretend to fix something and end up charging you for the incomplete work.
Are you insured and bonded?
A trustworthy plumber will have both commercial liability insurance as well as be bonded. The insurance and the bond protects the plumber from paying for any damages made to your house out of pocket. Having professionals that carry both of these policies can protect all of you from any mishaps that could occur while they work on your building. Remember, not all plumbers are the same and not all of them carry the necessary insurance and bonds to protect themselves and your home from damage or shoddy work.
How many years have you been in business?
Not only do you want a licensed and trustworthy professional, you'll want one who's been in business for a few years. More experience also means the plumber will have a prior work history you can check. A more inexperienced plumber might not have many customer reviews or examples of his or her work to show you.
What, if any, professional associations do you belong to?
It can never hurt to ask plumbers if they're part of a professional association, whether it's a state or national group. Being a part of a professional organization provides an extra guarantee that the person you hire is licensed and offers you a warranty for their labor.
May I have a list of references?
While it's advisable to ask friends, family and neighbors if they can recommend a good plumber, they might not have anyone you can call. With that said, it's best to ask a plumbing service for a list of references that you can contact to get a good picture of the kind of work their business does and if it's quality or not.
Before you hire a plumber, contact their past customers if you're able to. These people can be a wealth of information if you ask them the right questions. Pose the following queries to these former patrons when you get the chance:
Do you offer a written warranty for your work?
Whenever you make a large purchase, you always request a receipt, right? Well, you will want a written warranty for any work or repairs done to the plumbing in your house. You want someone that's doing major maintenance or repair work on your house or commercial building to stand by his or her labor. Before you hire a plumber, ask him or her if they offer written warranties.
Will I need a permit for this work?
If a plumber needs to do major repairs to your house, the work could call for a permit. You'll want this since a permit provides added assurance that the work is done correctly. Having this added measure in place means an inspector will check the work your contractor or plumber does to ensure he or she did the job correctly. If you ever plan on putting your house or commercial building on the market, a real estate agent and prospective buyers will also want to check any large work you did to make sure it was done properly.
To keep yourself safe from fraud or a possible scam, always remember to ask plumbers for their license along with a written warranty for their labor. Besides this, further safeguard yourself by checking their references and ensure they or their company is insured and bonded to do their work.
While it's smart to get maintenance work done on your pipes every once in a while, there are a number of prevention tips that will not only prolong the life of your pipes but also help you save on your water bill. Here are a few you should keep in mind:
Water Conservation
Be mindful of how much water you use in your bathroom, kitchen and even outdoors when watering your lawn. Make sure your toilet handle works properly and doesn't stick. You don't want it continuously flushing. Replace your old shower heads with more efficient low-flow options that can cut down on the gallons of water you use each morning.
Simple things such as turning off the sink while you brush your teeth or only running your dishwasher or clothes washer when you have a full load to clean can make more efficient use of water.
Prevention Tips
You won't always need to call a plumber to help you fix a nasty clog if you treat your pipes right. Don't use your toilet or kitchen sink like a trash can by stuffing hard to flush material down the drain or pouring fats and oils down the pipe. Throw coffee grounds and egg shells in the garage instead of in your sink. Also, only use your toilet to flush human waste and toilet paper, because any other materials could clog your commode.
Seasonal Tips
Frozen pipes are hazardous and can cause massive amounts of damage to your home. To prevent your pipes from freezing during the winter, run your faucets at a trickle and keep your house's heater at 55 degrees Fahrenheit or above to keep the water flowing.
Plumbing problems come in all shapes and sizes. The following are some of the most common, as well as how to fix them:
Discolored Water
If you turn on your bathroom or kitchen sink in the morning to find brown or rust-colored water coming out of your faucet, don't panic. The discoloration is most likely due to old iron pipes or recent use of a hydrant or water main that disturbed the usual flow of water. Keep your water running for a minute or so and it should run clear after a while.
Leaky and Dripping Faucets
Having a leaking or dripping faucet can run up your water bill. To fix it, first shut off the water under the sink then remove any decorative parts of the faucet and replace the washer and O-ring before reassembling everything.
Water Heater
Your water heater could be the cause of a lot of issues around your home, from a lack of hot water to foul smells and popping sounds. Hire a professional plumber to take care of the more complex jobs that a heater can require. However, if you're having hot water issues, you can simply examine the thermostat and adjust it accordingly.
If you hear odd sounds coming from your water heater, it could be due to sediment building up. To get rid of this, make sure you clean out the heater every few months. However, if you hear a boiling noise, it could mean the heater is overheating and you should call a plumbing professional as soon as possible.
Drain and Toilet Clogs
Before calling a plumber, try to unclog your drains and toilets yourself by using a plunger. Make sure you use a standard bell-shaped plunger for your sink and shower drains and a plunger with a flanged end for your toilets. If neither type can loosen the pipe blockage, put a plumber's snake to use. Ratchet the snake down the pipe to eliminate any clogs.

Stone 04.04.04 Vertical Epic Ale(RETIRED)
RATINGS: 527 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.59/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 255 ABV: 8.5%
A new Vertical Epic will be released every year, with the goal being to collect them all and have a Vertical Epic tasting once the final Epic is released on 12/12/12. Each new Stone Vertical Epic Ale will be release one YEAR, one MONTH and one DAY apart. This time around we used some unmalted wheat, just the right touch of Kaffir Lime Leaf, and a really cool Belgian yeast. The result is a bit like a strong Biere de Garde / Saison-esque influenced beer coupled with some aromatic Bavarian Hefeweizen style phenolic banana esters, and a backnote hint of lime from the lime leaf.

Eyes Danger To Sight Of
Source: Papers On Health
Where inflammation has gone so far as to
lead to suppuration, or even to ulceration of the eyes, there is grave
danger of blindness, and this is often the case with infants and
children who have been wrongly treated or neglected. In such a case,
cease at once all irritating and painful treatment and drugs. First,
wash the eyes by gently dropping over them distilled water, or boiled
rain water which has been cooled. The water should be used about blood
After an hour or so, have another warm bathing by means of gentle
pouring over the eyes, but do not rub the eyelids. Let there be no
friction beyond that of the soft and warm water running over the face
in the bathing. Rather have patience till that washes all waste matter
away than run any risk of irritating the eyeball. All this time watch
what the sufferer evidently likes, and follow his likings--that is, as
to warmer or colder water, and so on. It will not be very long before
you have thoroughly cleaned the eyes, while at the same time you have
infused fresh life into them. To the water used a little vinegar or
acetic acid should next be added, or Condy's fluid may be used when it
is convenient. But care must be taken that no great smarting is caused.
See Acetic Acid.
As the discharge from ulcerated eyes is very infectious, care should be
taken not to communicate it to other persons' eyes. Strict cleanliness
should be observed, and all rags employed should be burnt, and
disinfectants used to cleanse the patient's and nurse's hands, etc.
Towels should be boiled for half-an-hour before being washed, after
they have been used in such a case.
Now a most important matter must be attended to. Castor oil is the most
soothing that can be used with the eyes. Fresh olive oil comes next,
but it is usually just as easy to get the one as the other. With a
feather, or fine camel's-hair brush, and as gently as possible, cover
the eyelids with this oil heated to about blood heat. Do not try to
force it on the eyeballs, but if the lids open so much as to let it in,
allow it to lubricate the eyeball also. Rub it gently over the eyebrows
and all round the eyes, and dry it gently off. Cover the eyes then with
a soft covering, and let them have perfect rest.
It sometimes happens that a tiny piece of dust or iron may stick in the
surface of the eye, and refuse to be washed away by the tears. Take a
square inch of writing paper, curve one of the sides of it, and draw it
lightly and quickly over the spot. Never use any sharp instrument or
pin. Repeat the operation a few times if unsuccessful.

Audeze makes the best headphones for electronic club-type music period. Nothing else has come close for me. The bass quality and the natural way it produces vocals without the bass bleeding into the mids are two of the biggest reasons. Based on your music selection, you won't be disappointed.

The Edition 8 is magic with EDM. It's strongest genre in my opinion. AVB or some PVD is just purely enthralling. Plus they are much more comfortable than Audeze. Most comfortable phone I've tried.post #33 of 398/14/12 at 11:31am

I personally just got my lcd-2's about a week ago, and was tossing up about the same question as you have been as I primarily listen to trance / house / edm, so far, they're pretty sweet. I was split between the pro 900 / he-500 / d7000, ruled the denon / pro out due to the 'recessed mids' feedback (never got around to auditioning them though so what do I know :P), and the feedback that they're a 'fun' can, I mean to me what's the point of thumping bass when it comes at the expense of something else, I like bass, but I don't want it to come at the cost of anything. Then when I was about to get HE-500's, found some used LCD-2's that weren't insanely over my budget, (though once I bought the 'mid-fi' amp and dac I was way over :P) and here I am.
So far, they're pretty good, what else can i say :P. The bass is there, it thumps decently, not to the same level as the sub in my car but it definently thumps, more so when you turn them up a little, and the bass has excellent detail & seperation, absolutely no muddiness. You can hear the differences between all the bass sources basically, without any effort. The bass isn't the only thing about these can's though, It's the bass + the mids (so, so lush, it almost makes me sad when I'm listening to a track that doesn't have any vocals), the seperation between sounds is spot on even if the soundstage isn't enormous, more a small club compared to a theatre hall. For EDM, they do the job great, they go loud enough to get that immersed in the music feeling you get when you're at a nightclub, but the bass isn't the main attraction, it's the whole sound you get out of them, the detail, the seperation, those vocals, it's the whole package.
Listening to my eyes by nero for example, a track that I usually find sounds a bit muddy, on the LCD-2's it's clearest I've ever heard it. There's a part when the track really comes together after the 3 minute mark and being able to hear everything, from the low low bassline to the echoing synth sounds that phase around to the guitar, it's all there. Then something that's recorded really cleanly, like I shine by Infected Mushroom, heck even the whole Army of Mushrooms album, you've got this amazing clear synthy sound, perfectly deep bass, every sample & loop is just so clear, lots of phasing sounds that you can hear go around you, and then when the vocals open up, they're so lush and organic.
Downsides, they don't really do 'low volume' like I'd been led to believe from some reviews and stuff, like they do it, you don't really lose any detail when it's not loud, but you lose the body that these headphones give to sound and that's what makes them special. Like on my schiit lyr, at 9 o'clock they're nothing special, but at 10 o'clock and onwards they really open up. They just have this way of giving music body & presence that I haven't heard from headphones before. Also comfort probably sucks if you've got a weak neck (I don't notice the weight but then I have a large build so I don't find them uncomfortable), and the soundstage isn't big, there is no airy-ness to it, but it's not congested either, it's just on the small side, to me this is a bonus for EDM though (I prefer the sound of a nightclub over a open air festival personally). Sufficient would be the word I guess :P, or small for an open can, big for a closed can? I dunno.
They're pretty forgiving regarding sources aswell which is nice, you can still listen to podcasts and not have them sound crap, they'll sound ok, but they do lose a bit of that magical presence they bring to the sound, not to mention the details lossy containers chuck out the lower down in bitrate you go.
Then on the other side of these headphones, where when you're worn out of edm you can listen to radiohead and it's sublime, rock in general has been so good that I keep going back to albums I havn't heard in years and listening to them again, noticing all the little details I missed the first time around on inferior gear.post #34 of 398/14/12 at 11:48am

Thanks rasatouche for your thoughts about LCD-2! I'm really mixed up between the three HP's LCD-2, Ultrasone Ed8 and Denon D7100! Maybe i'll just have to get the lot!post #36 of 399/13/12 at 10:33pm

I use my Denon AH-D2000 and HE-500 for trance right now. I have learned to enjoy both and use each for different mood and purposes within electronica. Would love to try a LCD-2 at some point though.post #37 of 399/13/12 at 10:37pm

Hmmm, that's tricky.... I did a post/review a while back comparing D2000 and HE-500 for electronica specifically -->post #36
After having both for over two months together, going back and forth. I find the bass on HE-500 faster then D2000. Both hit hard in the bass and sub bass region. I think the HE-500 might actually hit harder in mid-bass then D2000. Overall they both slam hard. However, with the D2000 it feels as if the cup and your head is full of bass....After testing a bunch of other headphones including the HE-500, I don't think the D2000 are loose, given they are amped properly. The HE-500 is faster easily with more texture (although the D2000 does exceptionally well nonetheless and superb for its price. I think songs that have sub-bass sections really excel with the D2000 and they have beaten the HE-500 in the extension by a little bit, but the HE-500 still go to sub-bass quite low.
I usually switch back and forth between them every day for electronica and appreciate each more by switching quickly so I don't get plateaud with either. The HE-500 is open, airy and natural...paired up nicely with all my trance music. People recommended me HE-400 instead as its the bassier model and better equipped for trance and other electronica. Although I'm glad I went with the HE-500, this way I got the D2000 for the rumble/feel and the HE-500 for the quicker and slams a bit harder in all the right places.
For trance, I would be fine with the bass of either headphones easily. They are both freaking enjoyable. Although when you get into the mids especially, the D2000 loses that to the HE-500 (but the D2000 isn't as bad as people make it out to be, it's quite enjoyable). The highs again are better on the HE-500 - better resolution, transients, imaging and extension. Also the airyness and open soundstage is quite relaxing. Athough when I am watching movies, I sometimes prefer the D2000 in the bass section...and not to mention they are more comfortable.
I'll update soon, when I test them out of my newly O2.....post #39 of 3911/1/12 at 6:22pm

Coming from Denon D2000s, the LCD-2s were a bit underwhelming with EDM at first IMHO. The mids and highs were absolutely lovely and the bass was deep, tight, and textured, but overall impact was missing from the Audeze's, leading me to initially prefer the Denons. But slowly I learned to appreciate the qualities of the LCD-2s and ended up enjoying Trance and Progressive with them, especially vocal tracks.
Again, keep in mind I came from Denon D2000s which are subjectively regarded as being the best headphones for EDM with their crazy amount of bass and fun SS, so you might want to consider those. Better yet, look at the Denon D7000s if all you listen to is trance.
I can't vouch for the Senn's or ATs, as I've never heard them.
Either way, you won't be disappointed if you go with the LCD-2s, but those Denons are also a good choice. And yes, you'll need a good amp to get the best out of the Audeze's.
EDIT: Nevermind. Found the answer i was looking for.

Young baker and entrepreneur Anna Worthington is sampling the sweet taste of business success.
From small beginnings last year, her home-grown cake business has grown to be one of the city's most popular specialty treat providers.
In September 2012, Worthington returned to Christchurch after 15 months of baking her way around Europe.
Equipped with a fine arts degree, she decided she wanted to do something that was creative but profitable, and settled on cakes as an outlet.
Worthington began baking cakes in her mother's kitchen and selling at the Riccarton Market.
Her dripping, saucy creations proved popular, with customers and businesses placing orders to have cakes delivered.
From there, she says, "the cake thing just took off really quickly, until I was working 18-hour days just baking".
By Anna is now a fully-fledged business, providing a steady income for the 24-year-old. As well as taking orders online, she supplies two cafes, with a third opening soon.
Working alone, Worthington will often make more than 60 cakes a week, as well as cupcakes, slices and the occasional biscuit, and to keep up with demand she plans to take on an employee in the next six months.
At present, she's turning over around $5000 a month, and business is growing rapidly.
Like many young entrepreneurs, Worthington had little access to startup capital, so started out baking at home. After the orders started flooding in, she quickly moved into a professional kitchen on Colombo St, where she still works now.
Over the next two years, she hopes to open a larger kitchen and display space, with a cake shop open two days a week.
Making the swift transition from student to baker to businesswoman has not been without its challenges, Worthington says.
"It's not just about making cakes, it's about learning how to run a business - which I knew nothing about. I did fine arts, so numbers and me don't really go well," she says.
"I would love to just make cakes all day and not worry about the tax man."
But while learning the business ropes has its difficulties, Worthington believes Christchurch is "the perfect place" for young entrepreneurs to start out.
"There is so much opportunity here. This is maybe one of the most exciting places to be in the world if you're a young person wanting to do something yourself."
She says the post-earthquake city is more open to giving new ideas a shot, and people are supportive of new initiatives -more so than in Wellington or Auckland.
As well as being an ideal place, Worthington says baked goods are the ideal product.
"Cake is a great product to work with. There's always an occasion for cake, it's not seasonal. People will always have birthdays, they'll always get married."
She believes she's lucky to have found a rewarding career so early on.
"The cakes started as a way of generating a bit of income while I figured out what I wanted to do, but it soon turned out that cake actually was what I wanted to do."
"I count myself really lucky that at the moment I'm doing something that I really love, and it's not like work. I've found my passion really early."
