    Today i got my Burson Soloist SL MKII for the Audeze LCD-2F. I ordered directly from Australia to Germany, took about a week. As far as i can say from first listening...i am impressed Had a Marantz HD-DAC1 before, connected via USB and used the Marantz DAC. Now i go from Auralic Aries...

    Marantz HD-DAC1

    Thats what i did on my previous system. But this time i enjoyed to hear the progress while listening.   It takes a few days to get familiar with the sound. Your brain needs some burn-in, too

    Marantz HD-DAC1

    I noticed changes after burning in the Headphones, the Amp and the Cables. It's not like the whole Soundsignature changes, but it's there. It opens up. Cannot explain it better with my bad english, sorry   When i received the Amp i first was kind of disappointed about the middle range, like...

    Marantz HD-DAC1

    Give the Amp a little time to burn in. The mids will open up at about 100 hours. Some recommend up to 150 hours burn-in. Mine has a beautiful mid range and voices now with the audeze lcd-2's.   I recommend a good USB-Cable. The HD-DAC1 benefits with good cabling. I also got me a Silver...

    SIBILANCE - List the headphones you have sold because of sibilance

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Hi Frank... Is it save to wear the rubber straps on the arms, or are they toxic? I mean...they are toxic of course, but are they dangerous for health? I find them very stylish to wear with my watch :D

    Does anyone run the LCD-2 on a Marantz HD-DAC1? What Gain-Settings do you use?

    The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)

    I also have the Fazor and a friend of mine has a 2.2 without fazors. Did a quick compare. Don't worry, it is still a "dark" headphone. The Fazors don't turns them into a Sennheiser HD800. It still has the Audeze House-Sound. The Fazor is more like a fine-tuning than a signature change. Most...

    Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

    received my first lcd-2's last week with the vegan pads. wanted the leather for the optics but they were out. i am glad now i took the vegans. very soft and cool. i even like the look more than leather now. the only cons is i want to wash my hands before touching it :D

    The Audeze LCD-2 Ortho thread (New)

    OK thanks. I personally don't care about graphs 'n' curves. As long as the Headphones sounds gorgeous (and they do). Just in case i'm going to sell them one day, what i seriously doubt.

    Is the sinusodial sheet not included anymore? I received my new LCD-2s yesterday and there was no graph sheet.
