Audeze LCD-3 Appreciation Thread - Page 41

Alrighty then, this is after two hours. My music has never sounded better. The sound is more: deeper, clearer, separated, with more bass punch and more bass notes heard. Vocals are sweet, the harmonizing of multiple voices singing is stronger, with longer decay.

Coming tomorrow are Whiplash hybrid V3 balanced cables. I am traveling and may not get to listen with them till next week. :(

And if the cables are not enough, I will be returning with a Mullard CV2492.

Wow......better equipment = better sound P E R I O D  

LOL Like you all did not know that.

Once again I must give you my utmost envy! 

Sara we are jonesing for pictures here... don't hold back! you shouldnt be the only one enjoying your new gear!!

A real quick fix....I will take good shots next week. Thanks for asking.

PS: Ain't going to work today cannot stop listening.

On a very sad note: RIP Alvin Lee

I wonder what's going on   I loved the bass coming out of the LCD3s, SE stock cable and using a Audio~gd 11.32 and I think its way less now.

I've now had the Bellina with the Mullard and a Whiplash Twag v3 and Twcu v3 hybrid cable for a couple of weeks with @110 burn-in on both. I'm not sure how much better this 12 X more in $$ cost set up sounds, if at all? I think the bass quantity is diminished and I cannot say tighter, in fact I don't like the bass missing. Am I mistaken? I mean I know we all hear things differently but still why would it be gone? Cable?

Tomorrow I'm going to A/B like this: 

Bellina from computer via usb.

11.32 from Pure 20 via toslink.

LCD Whiplash balanced for Bellina and SE adaptor for the 11.32.

I will have the same exact song playing on both at the same time and quickly change between the two.  I will be able to just add se adaptor going from Bellina to 11.32.

I just bought myself a pair of these to go along with my Burson Conductor. Fabulous combination, I must say. Absolutely blows my old HD650/BCL/sound card combination out of the water in every conceivable way.

I will add however, that proper positioning for these headphones seems to be *extremely* important; as it is with any headphone obviously, but to the point where I'm spending literally minutes finely adjusting them on my head until they sound just right. My 650's on the other hand, had that "sweet spot" I could find instantly. My first impressions of the LCD's were actually rather terrible because I had yet to spend the required hour (or more) finding that perfect spot over my ears.

They're absolutely beautiful sounding headphones, but ONLY when placed precisely so. Any micro adjustments affect the sound pretty dramatically. 

I'm being picky though. That small gripe aside, I'm absolutely thrilled with these - both cosmetically and sonically. I'll be keeping the LCD-3's and Burson for the distant foreseeable future. Truly an amazing combination.
