    LCD-X and XC Update

    Hey Guys, Not sure whether this will be taken as spam or not but you can find my short review of the LCD-X via the link below. Any feedback would be appreciated, more videos will be coming soon covering all things audio related. Thanks. Jacques

    LCD-X and XC Update

    If you like the sound of EQ then stick with it I guess. But you must understand that from a technical standpoint you are degrading sound quality.

    LCD-X and XC Update

    The problem is though when you EQ your signal is no longer bit perfect, it has gone through a digital process. It’s like DSP room correction for a speaker setup, if that was the answer no one would bother with room treatment and correct positioning of the speakers.

    LCD-X and XC Update

    I don’t think so, I was in a similar position to you at one point, Not understanding what the fuss about EQ Was, it has to be the most overrated aspect of this hobby. Maybe if a system is not optimised then the differences may not be as apparent but if you’re serious about getting the best...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    Exactly. People need to understand that their is more to an audio system then just the headphones and amp. Your source has quite a big impact on the performance, you want to keep the signal as clean as possible. Their definitely needs to be more awareness of what EQ is doing to the sound. I...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    Their is no way you are gonna make a £50 headphone sound like a £1000 one. To give an example I own the LCD-X and the letshouer s12, now both of them are planars and have similar strengths such as speed and slam. But when you listen to the LCD-X instead of the S12 you realise how much more...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    I think people need to realise that EQ is kinda like papering over the cracks. You see when you EQ you are messing around with what the headphone driver has been designed to do, it’s not in its natural state. In my experience the sound stage tends to collapse and the music is just not that...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    I currently own the LCD-X so I am well accustomed to the Audeze house sound, it’s the kind of presentation I tend to favour. I was just interested in the LCD-2 since I’ve been told its warmer then the LCD-X and more euphonic, guessing the LCD-X beats it for technicalities but sometimes I just...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    I’m not saying I want every headphone to sound the same, it’s just I’ve seen a couple of posts where people of said you are not unlocking the headphones potential unless you use EQ to change the frequency response. Since I’m not willing to go down that route I was just interested to find some...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    On the lookout for a purchase of an LCD-2, does anybody know for sure whether their has been an update to the headphone since the 2020 version. Haven’t heard the headphone personally but the tuning didn’t seem to be well received by some. Say if I was to purchase from Audeze’s UK website would...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    Heard this combo at a store, does sound good, I just found a bit too analytical for my taste.

    LCD-X and XC Update

    I’ve been in your position, trying to make the right decision without hearing a product is hard sometimes. People will say you can run the LCD X from anything and yeah you might get them loud, but there’s a huge difference between something getting loud and actually being driven properly. I...

    LCD-X and XC Update

    Hey Guys, Thought I would let you all know of an amplifier which is a great match for the LCD-X. The Atoll HD120 is quite an old unit now but that does not stop it from sounding brilliant. Deep Bass, Wide Soundstage and the midrange is that euphonic type which is addicting to listen too...

    FiiO K7/K7BT Desktop DAC&Headphone AMP Discussion | XLR Balance | Dual THX AAA | Xmos | ...

    Hey guys, I’m considering the Fiio K7 as my desktop DAC/Headphone amp but was wondering how close it would come to the performance of the K9 pro with the PL50 linear power supply added. I’m not that bothered about features such as Bluetooth and the additional filters you get with the k9 pro so...
