    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

      Anytime you experience ringing following exposure to high sound pressure (loud music, loud machinery, etc), regardless of how long the ringing lasts, the damage is irreversible.  It may seem like the ringing goes away, but it's cumulative over time.     In your 20's and 30's we all...

    LCD-2 headband foam: DIY efforts to cover/preserve it from inevitable deterioration?

    Subject says it all.  I purchased one of these for my HD650's (http://tinyurl.com/4lspga4) and am hoping something similar becomes available for the LCD-2's.

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    I ordered on 12/26, PayPal confirmation sent on 2/25, FedEx delivery scheduled for today (3/2).  8+ weeks, which was sooner than I had anticipated given I ordered over the holidays.     Quote:

    I pre-ordered on Dec. 26th and haven't received an e-mail yet ... maybe it will come momentarily?   Quote:

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    SPOILER ALERT:  Another in the series of "I ordered mine on X date, anyone around that time get notification?" posts.   I ordered on Dec. 26th; anyone else who ordered around that time get notification yet?  (I think I saw a Dec. 23rd order who got a PayPal invoice on Feb. 14th).  And for...

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    I wonder if one can order them shipped in the new case, and also pay for the wooden box (or vice versa) . . .

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    I'm confused about which Pelican case would be good - the 1200?  the 1300?     Also, which sized case would be good for, say, three pair of phones?

    SACD/DVD-A analogue stereo (2.0) output to a headphone amp: which jacks for output?

    Quote: Thanks for your reply.  Like most (all?) DVD-A/SACD/DVD-V players, it has 6 RCA jacks for 5.1 analogue outputs as well as the standard stereo pair.  The user manual doesn't specify which is correct for 2.0 hi-rez playback, but the noise floor that is present on the Right Front and...

    SACD/DVD-A analogue stereo (2.0) output to a headphone amp: which jacks for output?

    Equipment:  Denon DVD-758 (SACD/DVD-A) stereo 2.0 analogue output -> Audio-gd FUN -> HD650/RE0   For SACD/DVD-A stereo (2.0) output into my headphone amp, does anyone know whether I should use the standard stereo output jacks or should I be using the Right Front and Left Front jacks (from...

    Review of the Audio-GD FUN - A modular Dac / Headphone amp / Preamp

    I also was debating between buying the B version and upgrading a few things, until I just figured I might as well get an A instead.  I had them upgrade the SPDIF to the Wolfson WM8805, and I installed an OPA-Earth module when it arrived.  I wish I would have also ordered at least the Moon...

    Boston area headfiers?

    Quote: I'm interested in attending, but March 12th is much better for me (if it's on March 5th I could only go in the morning).

    Audeze LCD-2 Orthos

    I filled out the pre-order form on Audeze's web site and submitted it several weeks ago, but I never received a confirmation e-mail - should I have received word from them that I'm on the waiting list?

    Audio-gd NFB-12 vs. FUN: the SACD conundrum

    Quote: That's exactly what I was thinking as I listen with a stupid smile on my face to the Earth module (MAN, does this little FUN amp/dac sound GREAT).  I'll probably get the Moon and Sun modules for kicks.

    Audio-gd NFB-12 vs. FUN: the SACD conundrum

    Quote: I've never used them, so I can't comment whether they are bit-for-bit hi-rez clones.  However, I'd say these releases are *borderline* legal, as most (almost all, actually) of the titles they offer are long out of print on SACD and DVD-A and SACD-lab is the *only* way to get them...
