New Audeze LCD3
My local dealer managed to deal with the issue quickly and Audeze sent me a new pair of phones as replacement. I did end up measuring the humidity where my setup was in my basement and it ended up being around 5% humidity. Now, i moved it to the part of my basement where i found to be the most...- cans4dessert

New Audeze LCD3
I got a pair of brand new LCD-3 about three weeks ago and I just noticed that both the wooden rings are cracked at the connector and there is one more crack developing a few inches from one of the connectors. These headphones have never been dropped and they have either been on my head (less...- cans4dessert

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
I placed an order for a Solvine. Excited to try out on my LCD3F! I wonder how many people are getting the new Solvine. I have a Draug2 on my HD800 and it toned down the hot treble very well and gave a lot more body to the bass. I wonder if one would see similar changes when paired with the LCD-2F.- cans4dessert

Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)
Hi Mudhole, My M11 unit has shorted bypass pins from factory as well. I wrote about this fact a while ago but I don't think anyone else commented about this so I figured it may be just a small defect in my unit. But I didn't really care since i could still configure it into any oversampling...- cans4dessert

Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)
Shortly after I purchased my M11 last year, I posted in this thread that the BYPASS jumper does not do anything for me. The BYPASS pins are already permanently shorted (according to my multimeter) and putting jumper on or off will not make a difference, at least on my unit. I have not asked...- cans4dessert

Sennheiser HD800S Unveiled!
i assume HD800 Modded has the Anax mod? How come the mod does not do anything to the 6k peak? was that a comparison between two different units of HD800, one with mod one without mod? Also, if anyone with the new HD800S would kindly volunteer to take the protective cloth off and take photos of...- cans4dessert

Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)
I used to have occasional ever so slight harshness with my HD800 up in the highs in x8 oversampling mode, but in NOS mode it is so smooth i can listen for hours without fatigue. This is with stock cable balanced.- cans4dessert

Since I am very satisfied with M11 NOS mode + HD800, I wonder if I should reconsider upgrading from stock to Norne Draug 2 cable. People say Draug 2 adds bass and body + removes etch, and i don't know if upgrading cables will make my HD800 sound overly bassy and rounds treble too much...- cans4dessert

Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)
I cannot discern with confidence whether the actual soundstage feels more compact or not but like i mentioned before, the vocal sounds slightly more intimate and closer. Other things I noticed are that there is relatively less air between instruments and sound is more coherent and fuller than...- cans4dessert

I've got the same reply from Kingwa: "A lot users don't know the setting issue on the sound, they often ask what sound change with the setting change. SO we had to change the describe and the setting jumpers combo Setting to the warmest sound is the NOS." which does not answer all...- cans4dessert

I've been trying the warmest setting as well, and I definitely do feel that vocals are sounding more intimate and closer than the stock settings. This may be similar to the smaller soundstage you hear with your music i guess.- cans4dessert

I've emailed Kingwa already and I will post the update once i get his reply. Meanwhile I feel that I am responsible for starting all this. I should have never assumed that the pin settings would be the same as the one for the older DSP-1 page (which i got a link from the Master 7 thread i...- cans4dessert
