You'll have to let me know how they sound!

Hi Everyone,   I've had my LCD-2's for about 3 years, and  I love them. I've recently been promoted though, and would like to get an upgrade from them. I was wondering how the LCD-3 and LCD-4 compare to the LCD-2 and if they would be the best place to go for an upgrade. Obviously there are...

Scrubbed the hell out of it. No luck.

I'm an idiot, every time u said pot, I meant tube socket. My apologies. 3 rounds of deoxit applied to the socket pins and the joints still hasn't fixed it. Also of note is that wiggling the tube does not effect the static. I'm really at a loss here.

Update 2:after application of deoxit, the static is changed. Instead of a Sharp loud static it is now a quieter fuzzy sound so I guess it did something

So I sprayed the whole thing down with canned air and that didn't fix anything. I went out and bought some deoxit and once again sprayed the whole thing down and I'm now waiting for it to dry. Because the volume doesn't effect the static, I would imagine the problem has to be after the main...

I'd also like to note that the static occurs at a constant volume regardless of the volume on the amp, including turned all the way off.

I did try different headphones. I'll try cleaning everything like you said. Although, could it be the tube pins or volume considering that it continues to happen even without rca's being connected and that it doesn't switch channels when the tubes are switched?

Hey everyone,   I've had a schiit lyr for 3 years now and I love it, but a couple of weeks ago I started getting a LOUD static in the right channel. Switching the tubes doesn't switch the static so it isn't the tubes. I've switched out my headphone cables and that doesn't fix it. I've moved...

  I actually ended up going with the 6n23p-EV super cryos from cryoset! I looked over the entire lyr tuberolling page and they seemed to be solid winners. The "sisters" also seemed to get good reviews but they weren't as consistently well liked as the russians. Ended up costing me about $80...

I'm looking to buy some tubes for this setup as well. I have next to no experience with tube rolling and am somewhat confused when people say the "Amperex Orange Globes". It seems like there are at least 3 different versions of the amperex orange globes depending on the date they were produced...

What about for my situation? Do you think the sound produced by the lyr + LCD-2 combo is superior enough to the magni to warrant the $300 price difference?

Here is a picture of inside the cup labeled as follows:   1) This is the gold wire which I believe to be the ground. It exits the main cable (2) and then appears to have broken off about a centimeter further,entirely disconnected. I believe this to be the source of the problem.   2) the main...

I'm in the same boat. I've heard that magni is entirely indistinguishable in a blind test against the asgard2 with the lcd2 though so I'd probably go with that instead. Really I'm just trying to figure out if I should go for transparency or the coloration of the tubes. I've also heard that the...

Not sure if this is the correct forum but it seemed like the best match. Yesterday I plugged in my FA-011s only to find that everything but the mids(which sounded somewhat normal) was near inaudible. After a few minutes of tweaking I found at if I only put the jack in half way (as to only allow...

What if I were to buy an external amp and just hook it up to the zxr and use the zxr's dac. (sorry if that makes no sense, I know next to nothing about amps/dacs hence the thread). is it ok to hook one amp into another like that or will the quality of the first amp (the zxr) degrade the signal...

Do you think it would be worth it to pay $300 to get a O2 + ODAC combo then? Or would the difference between the two be slim?

I'm getting an LCD-2 and I already have the zxr but I'm not sure if I need to buy a seperate amp or not. I know that if there was any soundcard that could work on its own it would be the zxr but I still have my doubts. Thanks!

They can. I had already looked at that actually, it made it very difficult to choose. ultimately I would have to imagine that the t1 is the better deal since its so much more reduced in price.

Done :)

I found both of them for $800, price being the same which is the better pair?   This is a followup to an earlier thread where I asked for recommendations as to the best pair of headphones under $1000.     Previous thread where I describe my preferences and...
