:) Thank you! Even if you are being sarcastic haha Average is relative? I intended for it to be exactly the opposite! I can envision a group of 100 randomly selected Americans and I tell them that I listen to Audeze on a Schiit stack, they would almost all be perplexed and mutter something...

Yes I guess it is subjective. To me, these are a luxury item because they are many times the price of what the average consumer would be willing to pay and they are made for a small and select audience. To say they are not a luxury item because there are other more expensive headphones is to say...

The idea of needing peripherals that are more expensive than headphones that are already a luxury item sounds like a bad joke to me.

It does, doesn't it? More reason to go cross-reference at the headphone store. And yes, it's the $99 magni amp but I read many people were satisfied with this amp paired with Audeze headphones. Yes and as an earlier purchaser I got mine for $600 :thumbsup: but adding in the amp and dac and...

If play a pure tone and slide it around 20hz-120hz the Audeze's are comparable in output and sound more even too but when playing an actual song it's like the bass just gets sucked out and it all disappears. Zero punch. When things reopen I'm going to go to my local headphone store and demo...

magni modi multibit As in there should be better performance at high volume on low gain? That's what I've always done because my amp tends to not play in the right ear properly at low volume dial points.

Got my mdr1am2's earlier this week (for just $150!) and I'm quite happy! Too warm in the bass region and less spacious than I'm used to, but it's forgivable and their sound is really fun and surprisingly detailed for how relaxed they are. Highlight for me is definitely comfort since my other...

I've owned my LCD2Cs since they were initially launched and I have always thought that their bass was underwhelming but attributed that to a personal preference since the consensus opinion is that it's pretty great. I recently picked up some Sony MDR-1AM2s to have something lighter and more...

Thanks for the detailed instructions! On the other hand... why does it take 20 steps and additional software to get this to work? Except maybe not because it crashes sometimes. I'd really prefer if this was a system wide eq in it's own program like Peace EQ or Equalizer APO. Less fuss and more...

I'm using a schiit stack, multi bit. I don't think they're under powered.

I've found the bass to be good out of the box with more spacious and immaculately produced music, but with busier music it doesn't work well. If there is a real variance in our headphones, not just a perceived/subjective difference, do you think it's possible it has to do with the amount of...

It's kind of incredible and even more incredible that people haven't been talking about this more. I mean, it SERIOUSLY improves their sound, particularly in the bass region. When I wrote my rather unhappy first impressions I was listening to this track: and I was so turned off by the utter...

Actually, I think there might be a better, 3D printed solution to this...

Thank you for confirming that I'm not crazy and that this isn't an anomaly of my headphones! I was thinking of applying a moderately thick tape with a soft-to-the-touch finish material to the pads such that you move the headphones away a bit and leave gaps to break the seal. Probably a terrible...

I'm still really curious about the sealing of the LCD-2Cs. If I play a 60hz test tone and tilt the pads off my ears just enough to break the seal, the bass increases VERY noticeably. In songs, I noticed this improves the sound stage just a little too. Someone earlier mentioned changing their...
