Never gets old.

Thank you, proton007.  Your explanation of electrical dampening was the easiest to understand of all the ones I read.  Your article is very useful and informational, thank you for taking the time.

I got a Sony MDR-MA900 a couple of months ago and packed away my LCD-2.  I don't think it is a better headphone, but I prefer its sound.  Always, when I first put on the LCD-2, I feel a bit suffocated until I adjust.  The Sony sounds more open and natural, but it has less treble than Audeze...

I cannot help you, sorry.  Here is the link to a thread started by the guy who wrote this: http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/rew-forum/62114-software-equalizer-use-rew-windows.html.  I would ask your question there, if you haven't.  I tried a search, but couldn't find anything about...

It is working on my windows 8 laptop (I want windows 7 back), 8.1 is not much different from 8 is it?  On my previous HP laptop, the APO did not work with the internal sound card, I think it was IDT.  On current Toshiba laptop, both external and internal sound card support this, I can't remember...

  Quote:   This is an interesting point.  I give as examples to support this, Deicide "Legion", Coroner "Punishment for Decadence", Spawn of Possession "Cabinet", have no clipping (and no compression, I'm assuming) and to me they sound too weak.  But "Miss Machine" and "Option...

Since you guys resurrected, I'll do a follow up.   Right driver failed again a week after getting the headphones back.  They didn't respond to a RMA request for about a week, I think they were getting suspicious of me.  This time, I drove down to Foutain Valley (30-60 min depending on...

For folks who find these phones too bright, I suggest giving a crossfeed DSP a try, assuming you are using computer as source and if DSP doesn't offend your sensibilities.  I'm using B2SB for foobar, but I've tried another one made by xnor called Crossfeed.   bauer...

Quote:  By coincidence, I talked to their CTO (when I asked his name, he said just call him Dr. C.) yesterday.  He said the different woods were just cosmetic and not for changing the sound.  According to him, they did not want the housing to resonate so that you're only hearing the...

Quote: No headband.  And yeah, I would rather not know what they're warranty service is like.  What was the turn around time on your repair?    

Getting the warranty repair I expected.  I did not expect the free upgrade, but I guess cost difference between r1 and r2 is about $50.  Even so, selling the fixed r1 and buying an r2 would have been more, so I am pretty grateful.  Even more so since they could have said, "We're only obligated...

So, early last week, the right driver of my LCD-2 r1 goes dead.  Sadness, $950 mono headphone, why did I buy from a small company, etc.  I received mine in May of last year, which I guess is when the bad batch of drivers were put in.  Sent off an email  to support@audeze.com and get back a reply...

Sorry, bad recommendation, Immolation and Psycroptic, waveforms not so good.  May not sound good on your high end system.  Time to get myself a crowbar so I can extract my foot from my mouth.

Quote: I agree, there are definitely worse...Metallica, ahem.  But snare drums don't seem very snappy and sometimes the vocals are grainy, not sure if this is the result of over-compression...like can I really really hear something that happens over a fraction of a fraction of a...
