I am slowly gearing up toward to full-size phones and my current main phone is EL-8 and K7xx. I've been considering few phones, mainly between LCD-3, LCD-X or HD800S and now I am really into LCD-X. It would be great if I could audition all three but that doesn't seem to happen anytime soon. I...

Hey guys i'm in a slight delima. I currently have a pair of LCD-3f paired with the IDSD Micro. I love the sound of DSD tracks but the micro is a tad bit to harsh for my liking with non DSD files even when up sampling to DSD. I am looking for a good amp or amp/dac combo under $2000 to either pair...

I have Sennheiser HD 650's and they sound the best I've ever heard through my Musical Fidelity M1HPAP headphone amp (had the amp for going on 2 weeks now).  The veil is gone.  With Jazz and Instrumentals the Sennheiser's bring the "smile element." I'd like to add another pair of headphones that...

Hi all,   I recently got the chance to try out some fairly high-end headphones at an audio shop, and while I was quite impressed with the quality, I was a little disappointed a the bulky units, thick cabling, and large amount of sound leakage that seems common to these premium units. In my...

Just like a car enthusiast has that perfect garage full of cars in his/her dreams, I'm thinking audio enthusiasts probably have the same thoughts on their guilty pleasure. I figured this would be a cool thread for a couple reasons. It may give us ideas on what headphones compliment each other...

Currently I have a Valhalla 2 and it's pairing nicely with my hd650's. I'm looking to add another amp (solid state) that plays nicely with planar magnetic hp's. Here is what's on my wishlist:   *Balanced input and balanced hp jack   *good power/current for planar mags   *ability to drive a...

  I attended the meet in Costa Mesa last Saturday and had a great time.   I intend to purchase an Audeze LCD-X headphone since they gave me a 20% off coupon and I wanted to buy it anyway. I want to get a proper amp/DAC for the LCD-X but its going to take me some time to find what I like. In...

Hi, I'm looking for advice on upgrading the stock Audeze cable on my LCDX to Chord Hugo. I have read about Toxic and Q Audio... And several others. Which cable brand would you recommend, and further still, which particular model? Thanks

“Music (…) gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” Plato   As a music enthusiast I’m on a permanent quest for really great music, for those rare moments in (recorded:-) human history where musicians are able to...

My new pair of LCD-Xs should be arriving in the next few days, and I was wondering if it was worth upgrading my amp/dac setup. I currently have the m stage dac and amp located here. A couple specific needs for my setup:   1. I also have a pair of 650s that I would still like to listen to, so...

Battle of the modern Planars: LCD-X vs HE-560 vs PM-1           About your reviewer:   Before we get into the review, I’d like to take this time to offer you more understanding of my background in order to clear up any confusion left by my impressions in the following paragraphs.  The...

Beats headcans hold a very special place in my headcan heart - why? well, if it wasn't for beats, I wouldn't be here today - my first headphones I ever laid serious green on was the Monster beats wireless, bought from online Apple store. I still proudly own these very cans today, and yes I say...

So I'm going to take the leap and get a pair of LCD-Xs.  I was wondering if you all had some suggestions on AMPs/DACs to go with them.  I was eyeing the Bifrost Asgard 2 combo but would like some other suggestions.   Fist thing, definitely looking for something solid state at this point...

I recently purchased the Mjolnir/Gungnir stack for my LCD-2's and love the obvious improvement (to me, anyway) of going the balanced route. Now, after reading all of the (mostly) positive reviews on the new LCD-X, I am considering an upgrade to either the LCD-X or LCD-3s. I have PM'd some...

I couldn't find any pictures of this but it is in Jude's CanJam Preview.  He stated it was quite good and a bit more neutral than the LCD3.  There's a LCDXC which is closed design.  Wow!  Choices!

...returning home after a long and hard working day you quickly rush to the shrine and ...there it is... your favourite toy...errrr... or second favourite, or whatever...   Anyway... your set-up is more than just about listening music? It is passion for design, fine mechanics, precision...

I found the ear pads of LCD-X are too soft and when I put the headphones over my head I noticed that my ears are almost touching the drivers.  I have the impression that when my ears are too closed to the drives in over-the-ear headphones the soundstaging might be affected. I got this feeling...

Hi all,   I've been a member here for a long time, but I had stopped visited the forums for years (so I don't go broke). Since, it's been a few years, I thought I'd take a look at what's new and see if I can do a major upgrade of my equipment.   I mostly listen to classical, jazz and more...

I have just received my Frequency Response Graph for my LCD-X from Audeze.  If you also have one you may wish to post a copy and compare the difference.    

I just ordered the LCD-X and I need a proper amp & DAC for it. After quite a lot of research here's what I came up with:   Burson Conductor   From what I gather it is one of, if not, the best all-in-one package in this price segment. Yet I read that the DAC is not up to the same lofty...

I currently have the LCD-2 Rev. 1.  I had the Rev. 2 but preferred the Rev.1. I love the lush thick mids and bass of the Rev.1.    While I love the LCD-2 rev. 1, I crave more separation, detail and soundstage. So:   1. Should I, sell the LCD-2 and get the LCD-3 which just improves on the...

Which would make a better pairing for the LCD-X, I'm torn between a Burson Conductor and the Schiit Mjolnir/Gungnir combo. Prices are pretty similar and what I'm looking to spend ($1500-$2000). Anyone have any advice or other recommendations for the X in my price range? Thanks!

Hello head-fiers! First post here.  I feel like I'm in a pickle here.. I've read great things about both the LCD-X's and the HD800's, but have seen many to prefer the LCD-X's and their less bright, less fatiguing treble presentation. But here's my problem: weight.    So I've got a pretty...
