Is Apex Peak amplifier a good match with LCD-2 ?
To me, the LCD-2 is the next logical step if you like the HD-650 sound signature. It improves on every aspect of the HD650s sound, but retains a dark, warm, and lush character. Like the HD650, the LCD-2 scales well and responds well to amplifiers with different sound signatures. You can tailor the sound of both of these headphones, depending on your amp choice. I don't have much listening time with the HD800, but it has very different sound signature with a lot more treble energy.
Thanks for the advice!
I've ordered both the LCD-2 and HD800... but being in Canada, the return process would be quite a lot harder.
So I will likely sell one once I figure out which I truly prefer!
Any suggestions for an affordable, light, flexible balanced cable? Silver preferred. I don't care about sound differences.
Of course, the danger is you might like and want to keep both, but there's no substitute for auditioning at home.
Wow.
Both LCD-2 and HD800 have arrived.
I'm absolutely blown away by the LCD-2. There's a huge difference in the sonic "punch" of the LCD-2 and the visceral way it presents the music. Thick, smokey, juicy.
The HD800 is almost... tinny to me. Lots of air, nice and clear... but it doesn't take me anywhere magical when I close my eyes.
I'm going to let both of these burn in, as well as my brain, but right now it seems the LCD-2 is the way to go for sure, coming from HD650.

Yeah your audio chain might need some work in order to get your HD800s to sound good. The LCDs are much more forgiving.
Mmmmm pie. I didn't notice any burn in at all on my LCD2.2s. They sounded perfect the instant I plugged them in.
