i got yesterday the burson conductor V2+ what a huge huge huge upgrade in sound compared to hugo, mojo . i have never ever heard the lcd2 sound as amazing as with this dac/amp

it has huge sound stage and solid tight bass, and I am really surprised as it has a sabre dac but does not anything like the sabre dacs I tried in daps, this is a huge upgrade in sound compared to anything I ever heard

Burson amps have been known to pair very well with the LCD-2. Congrats!

I gotta say, after living with the 2's for about 3 months, I really do love these cans! They have a certain something that I find addicting; I can just listen to the music without focusing on the sound and let it wash over me. They sounded congested at first, but now I kind of like how thick/thicc they are :3 Best purchase so far ^^

Is this the latest version you feel is thick sounding vs 'more balanced' impressions from owners who have owned the current vs older ones ?

 

[Odin412]

has anyone paired the lcd2 with liquid carbon?

That's the combo that I use and I really like it, especially with the balanced cable.

It's the newest version, purchased recently direct from Audeze. Perhaps 'full' and 'balanced' are more accurate terms to describe what I'm hearing, but coming from my previous planars, the he-400, the differences between the two is stark, and makes it sound thick by comparison, imho. I would certainly call the LCD-2 balanced and accurate.

Yeah that's what i feel like; not sure if i said this earlier but it's like you can forget the headphones and focus on the music.
I started listening to some metal since you guys were raving about how metal sounds through the lcd2 and... now i see the light.
Doom metal sounds so thick, so majestic on these cans. I was just sitting up late last night listening through My Dying Bride's discography on spotify. My ears felt numb by the end, lol.

I thought that too. But, I've read in one of the reviews in head fi and he thought it's not the best pair. I am just wondering what other people (who own the setup) think. Just received the lcd2 and set it up with LC balanced. It is brighter than I thought it would be. But, the imaging is great. The detail retrieval is better than my hd6xx.

 

[ahmadfaizadnan]

This has been asked a few times in the pass, to me its a good pairing

Yup. Just added the lcd2 to my collection. Loving it so far!

This is my only issue with the 2's lol. I have a small head, so there isn't enough caliper pressure to balance the heft of these very large heavy headphones. As a matter of fact I haven't found a single headphone I can wear for more than 30 minutes to an hour without discomfort. Only the TH-X00 come close, and only that with after market pads :/

 

[Jesse Oh]

Oh i don't mean that. I find my lcd 2's comfortable enough. I meant my ears felt numb hearing-wise, because i had such an intense listening session.

If yours ears don't hear any differences between stock cable and aftermarket cable like Norne audio , Toxic cable... It's good for your wallet.

Are you listening with stock cable ?
Have you tried aftermarket cable with your LCD2 fazor?

Hi,

I have the Silver widow 24. And out of the box the high sounded harsh, low not clean.
So please give us yours impressions once you get your Silver poison.

i think Silver cable needs more time to burn in than Cu.

Before i also don't trust burn-in cable.

cheers

My cable just arrived

Build quality is rock-solid and feels premium: metal mini-XLR, braided silver wiring into a sleek, black nylon sleeved trunk. This wire feels incredibly well-made and was well worth the wait. I would go into more detail, but it's late and I want to write up my impressions of the sound.

Audeze LCD 2.2F 2015 <- Toxic Cables Silver Poison with Neutrik 4-Pin XLR Gold termination <- Cavalli Carbon 2.0 balanced out <- TEAC UD-503 <- foobar2000 <- FLAC @ 16/24 bit 44.1/96/192 and DSD 2.4Mhz

The Silver Poison blows the stock cable out of the water.

Listening to my LCDs I always felt that everything was a bit blurred; as if individual voices blended into each other. The Silver Poison adds a massive amount of air between voices thanks to lower overall noise. Imaging is an order of magnitude improved to the point where I feel like I'm finally experiencing what the LCD 2.2's are capable of. The cable doesn't change the sound profile: they still sound quite smooth and warm, but they pretty much bring the headphones up a tier.

Do they beat my Ether Flows?
No, the Flows offer much better imaging and a much cleaner sound with a "shimmery" sound profile that works rather well with the kind of music I like to listen to. Hence, I don't get much mileage out of the LCD 2's fuller bass. But then again they are a cool $800 more than LCD 2.

Congratulations to Frank, the Silver Poison is a great product and I'd recommend it to anyone with a pair of LCDs in a heartbeat.

Are you interested in performing ABX test to see if your claims are real?

i won't labour on this point as these conversations have popped up once or twice on head fi but i have a norne silvergarde cable and it stands out like "the proverbial" compared the to the stock cable.

enough to put my car on it - easy!

 

[noper]

I don't have the equipment to perform real ABX testing, and I don't have the equipment to measure distortion.

To be perfectly honest I'm considering selling my pair because the sound is not detailed enough for me. Still, I can't deny that I heard an obvious improvement. It's not subtle.

I built my LCD-2.2F cable with Toxic's Silver Poison, and I agree, it adds an extra measure of clarity.
