I'm lost!
So you have both the LCD-2 Rev.2 and the LCD-2F and you're selling the LCD-2F?
If yes, you like the Rev.2 better than the 2F, correct?
Sorry I'm not quite following you. 

Yes. Keeping the LCD-2 Rev. 2, rather than the LCD-2Fazors, for the reasons I liked in the LCD-2 Rev. 2s. These cans would make anyone appreciate solid states' neutrality and low output impedance IMHO. When I was demoing these Rev. 2s, the diminutive iFi nano iDSD's amp sounds much better to me than the WA22, and even another SS in the Soloist (using the iFi nano iDSD's DAC section in all instances). But I digress, sorry.

Would you say that for the most part the E series was a positive upgrade across the board or are there certain models where the older 'i' version sounds better and others where the 'E' version is clearly the better sounding of the two? I am looking at the SR325 and/or RS2 (maybe the RS1) with this question.

From my wife----a new headband. It's the Turbulent Labs Saddle Manta.

Just how I wanted the Rs1is to look!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! I should get that for my RS1i's *drool*

Thanks, I just realized there were 2 different LCD-2's, I didn't know so thats what confused me. When I looked on Audeze's site (last week) I didn't see both, I only saw the LCD-2F.
I looked on Moon Audios site and they have both.
Is one of the 2 an older/newer model?
Also, to be sure, the 2 Rev.2 is the HP that WOWED you, correct?
I'm asking because I would like to try them.
Thanks.

There seems to be a lot of mixed opinions with different models and series for the most part.
I do believe most people really like the 325e, but not so much the RS1e, from what I've read.

Yes. Mine is Rev. 2, mfg. date is July 2012. My Fazor edition is January 2014. I find the graphs provided by Audeze to be true to my ears. So here are the graphs for reference:




P.S.: Rev. 2 is the edition prior to the Fazors. Fazors started around December 2013, some say January 2014, but in any case SNs starts at 542... Rev. 2 SNs starts at 532...

I believe I would enjoy these more being they have that WOW factor, I think I'll check them out!

Nice. I put a Turbulent Labs Coffee headband on my ZennJazzGrado project. They're really comfortable!

I agree that folks tend to prefer the RS1i over the RS1e. I find an equal number of folks prefer the PS1000 to the PS1000e to those that prefer the PS1000e over the PS1000. For other models, the -e seems to be generally preferred.

It was the post by bpcans (whom my autocorrect insists upon renaming as "pecans") showing the beautiful RS1s with matching leather headband from Turbulent Labs! Got lots of responses.

Hey K&J, "pecans" here. Hope your liking the new headband. All we need now are some gold anodized blocks and gimbels for that total hip-hop DJ blingy sort of look. I'm listening to the 30th Anniversary edition of "Jazz at the Pawnshop" again this morning using Audirvana+ 2.0.8 in iTunes Apple lossless formatted intergrated mode. I'd forgotten what good jazz recordings from the seventies sounded like. Very smooth and enthralling is how I'd describe the sound, which is nothing like my modern jazz rips, taking CD's by Fourplay as an example of the modern genre. Acoustic versus electric, live versus studio, is what I'm trying to convey as a comparison.
