Audeze LCD i4 TOTL In-Ear Monitor Discussion
Hi I've been listening to my i4 on a pretty regular basis, like daily. They are my bedroom system (sorry but I am afraid of dropping or losing them so they stay home). Yes, they are comfortable and sound terrific, especially the soundstage. That being said I still prefer the sound of the...- pspivak

It takes a good 2 or 3 months for thg he cipher cable to work properly. Just the nature of the beast.- pspivak

Just my opinion but I have the first Cipher cable (not the new one) and I prefer without unless I am listening to the iPad. With the iPad I am +/-. As far as EQ goes if you are paying the tariff then knock yourself out or don't; you paid the $$$, ENJOY!- pspivak

That has not been my experience with the custom molds. Placement and focus of the "nozzle" is key.- pspivak

Audeze LCD i4 TOTL In-Ear Monitor Discussion
I received the custom ear molds from the audiologist on Monday. Ok, I look a little funny in the mirror, so what. They are very comfortable to wear and require no hooks. As with the Stax SR202, mid bass has been largely restored, even some low bass. The midrange has some real character -...- pspivak

FWIW The i4 is a sizable investment and I have had good success with custom ear molds. I will get them as opposed to the bit of rubber approach. What's another hundred or two on a $2500 device?- pspivak

I had Ted at Headphone Lounge make me one for an AK10. With the android phone using using aptx setting and Tidal over USB Player pro I have had good success with bluetooth. Length is 18 inches to avoid the long cable and I get about 30 feet. Conveinant.- pspivak

Audeze LCD i4 TOTL In-Ear Monitor Discussion
Good afternoon, I agree with Mikey99 regarding the cipher cable, but the “clearly inferior” comment is a bit harsh. I agree that using a good android device and a better amp; I have used the Centrance HiFi M8 and the iFi micro iDSD and they were better. But for me this is a portable/travel...- pspivak

Hi Fellows, been a while. I also got in on the B Stock deal on the LCD i4. a. My box and package say nothing about B stock and the packaging appeared unblemished. b. They sound great but needed a week and a weekend of use to come out of their shell and reall shine. Maybe they were made a while...- pspivak

Ideal Headphone (HD800/Audeze) music, suggestions,please
Something that I have noted as I have listened to the my system more is that the microphones employed in the recording have a certain characteristic when it comes to vocal recording of a solo performer, especially in regard to the "size". As an example Louis Armstrong on the Ella and Louis...- pspivak

High End CIEM/IEM Thread!
I have had a few IEM, some custom, some off the shelf. The Etymotc ER4 and ER6 are good units and are superb at isolation. When the filters get clogged be sure to pop in new ones. When the filters are right they are in my opinion Bose 901 like. Just real good - it's my opinion. Triple fi, off...- pspivak

AUDEZE LCD XC
I got my XC's in June and I continue to like them, even amazed by them. They have broken in nicely and I can relate to system break-in time; be patient. There's is a rich full sound that awaits. Some of that might be the associated equipment, everything counts. As far as comfort, the longer...- pspivak
