Amping the Audeze LCD

Just wondering which amps out there are working best with the LCD-2.  I have the hybrid Fitz-Max Bada PH-12, into which I've sunk lots of upgrade/mod money, and which I hope can drive the Audeze satisfactorily. 

 

In general, the Bada does better with higher impedance headphones.  My 40 ohm PRO 2500 sound very good, but perhaps not their best, with the Bada.  How the 50 ohm LCD-2 might fare is questionable.

 

My decision for now would be to fore-go the LCD-2 if they are not a very good match with the Bada.

It works well on my Decware OTL CSP-2 which is all tube but for classical it will clip so I ordered a transformer based Taboo which will run the LCD2 plus some monitors and thats 6W tube amp but they sound good and on the hybrid you should have no issues. I would think they would work well. Great cans by the way

Man, before I joined Head-fi, I would have taken this comment a totally different way. bigsmile_face.gif

I've just got a Meier Concerto, it is awesome, driving the LCD-2 to its fullest potential, strongly recommend!

The Fitz-improved Bada PH-12 did an excellent job with the LCD-2, but the Audeze were just not my cup of tea in the final analysis.
