    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2

    Having went through 5 different dac amp combos on my lcds I can tell you I kept looking for more power until I got to the audio-gd nfb6. I went from yamamoto ha-01 single ended triode, to woo wa6se, to violectric v181, to audio gd- nfb6. I finally felt like I had the dynamics I liked once I was...

    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2

    An update on system choices. So I sold the Ref 5 DAC and bought a violectric v200 to go full balanced with the v181. After 3 months, I felt the system lacked dynamics, big sounds just did not deliver like they did on my home setup. I knew I was lacking some energy. So I sold the v181 and v200...

    UPDATE FROM MY PREVIOUS POST: Having been convinced that I loved the 32 Bit Sabre DAC & 32 Bit USB implementation from Audio-gd, I went ahead and sold my 11.32 two weeks after writing this... Then I went back to Audio-gd and bought an NFB-6 AMP and NFB-1.32 DAC. I have had this fully...

    Headphone that complements or replaces LCD-2

    I have LCD2 rev1 and recently switched from foam headband to the leather one and the fit is much more comfortable for me. You should check to see if the screw on the hanger is tight also. I check my every few months as they loosen over time and wiggle down a bit. I get them set on my head so...

    COWON Z2 - The complete Review (from Izzi going)

    Has anyone compared the Z2 to a HiSound Device?   Last week I received my HiSound Studio 3rd Anniversary Edition (long ***** name) and I am underwhelmed with the sound signature. For me, the base sound signature, without trying to alter it is a very thin, weak sound, lacking dynamics and...
