Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
For anyone thinking of a headphone amp for the LCD-2 should seriously consider the Musical Paradise MP-401 mk2. From my experience with my previous amps, nothing comes close to the sound of this amp. Just the headphone section alone is worth the asking price. But as a bonus, you get a...- Yitaro

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
I find the Mjolner to be to bright for my taste. I find myself not enjoying the music as much. Don't get me wrong, Mjolner has some impresive bass attack but overall, it just not music to my ear. The MP-401 mk2 amp produces 90% of the Mjolner's bass but has the wonderful tube mids and nice...- Yitaro

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
I had the WA6 and the Mjolner sold both cause I didn't the sound with my LCD-2 v.2. You should definitely try the Musical Paradise MP-401 mk2. This is a great sounding amp with the lcd-2. Plenty of power with 2.88 watt at 50ohm.- Yitaro

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
DarrenLays, it cost me $830 plus $150 for the shipping. This amp is very well build and it sounds just amazing. Been looking for tube amp that has the attributes of the WA6 and Mjolner combined and I found it in the MP-401 mk2. With the Mjolner, the bass guitar sounds like a bass guitar but...- Yitaro

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
Just took delivery of the Musical Paradise Mp-401 mk2. I am very impressed with the headphone output of this tube integrated amp. This is a great pairing with the lcd-2. The MP-401 mk2 has smooth midrange of the Woo Audio wa6 and the slamming bass of the Mjolner. The sound stage is huge. My...- Yitaro

Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2
Can someone offer their experience with the following 2 tube amps for my lcd-2 v.2. Little Dot mk6+ and Bottlehead S.E.X. 2.1 with C4S mod. I'm looking at going back to tube amp.

Little Dot MK VI / Little Dot MK VIII SE Owners Unite
Thank you baronbeehive. I am leaning towards the LD. From what I understand the lcd-2 work best with amp that has a lot of power. I think the LD has plenty of that. I am looking for the smooth sound of tube (Woo Audio WA6) and the bass control and attack of the solid state such as the mjolner. I...- Yitaro

Schiit Mjolnir headphone amplifier
This is precisely what I am trying to express. The Oppo bdp-95/ Mjolnir/ lcd-2 v.2 combo is bringing the performer to close (in your face) for my liking. I didn't have this problem with Woo Audio WA6 in the chain. I am hoping that a different dac will tame this "forwardness".- Yitaro
