You will grow strong, and enjoy music, what else can one ask for? The LCD2 has always been about the deep strong bass, and the groovy whole, rather than than the "hifi highs details", so if that groove what you hear then there is a good unit. ( The details are still all there, just not...

Amazing how great this old LCD-2 sounds still :) It's been 15 years now. (if you want to see how they looked back then, there is a picture at the start of the thread) I did upgrade the headband, and Audeze did replace the very first unit (can't recall what was wrong with it, but they were quick...

Having listening mainly to Genelec the ones speakers (the smallest ones), for a few weeks, it was great to pick up the old LCD-2s again. They sound as great IMHO. Perhaps even better in my imperfect room, especially at lower volumes. Cranking it up, the ones wins for the feel of it, because I do...

Does my old lcd1 and lcd2 count as vintage yet?

I have used the LCD-2 for over 10 years now, sometimes for hours each day, and it just amazes me each time, still.

Foam tends to degrade .... not the most comfortable headband version anyway, I recall that my hair got stuck in it (I got the leather upgrade some years ago). However - note that your serial number is on the headband, you might want to keep that around. It should sound amazing though, if it...

I prefer micro suction tape. But thats not permanent.

This is where you add the micro suction tape, to make your pads swappable :=)

I wouldn't recomend increasing the treble (because I like my bass, if you increase one, you loose the other, assuming that with the LCD it is there in the baseline (with mine it is for sure, and it should be with yours also)). But sure, I want to hear it. So, I recommend a good dac with...

Well. The problem is that you do not want these replaced :)

These drivers did not fail for over ten years, and I use them a lot, so I am not too worried about that :)

And the graph of the LCD-2 that I am using right now :) ( although I see now that I posted it already earlier in the thread )

Slightly off topic, the older LCD-1.

I am sorry to intervene here in this rant, but there ere is nothing wrong with the LCD-2. I see no blemishes. Ear pads are fine. Sound is out of this world, as always. This is not a new pair of LCD-2, not at all. These are over 10 years old. And I use them almost every day (because they sound...
