Borderline bright? Not suited for tube amps? Hmmm, I don’t think so.- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4
Hi guys (sorry about my English) I was in the process of replacing pads in my Lcd-4s. It's not a clean affair since the pads are glued to a black felp, wich in turn glues to the driver. I am clumsy with manual labor and ended destroying completely the black felp. The only thing left to do was...- Eduardo C

Woo Audio WA22 Amp Owner Unite
I think you nailed it. With the help of some friends I have tried different headphones. There is little to zero hum with HE1000V2, Abyss Diana or AEON 2C. Any experience with WA22 (5998 power tubes) driving Susvara? thanks.- Eduardo C

Woo Audio WA22 Amp Owner Unite
Thanks for your answers. I guess there are some things to try before giving up. Is there is a particular type of tube (driver, power, rectifier) were I should start making changes?- Eduardo C

Just to clarify, I am not blaming WOOAUDIO, probably the info on the humming is somewhere there, buried in a review. Too bad I did not read it before.- Eduardo C

Woo Audio WA22 Amp Owner Unite
Hi guys: I just received my new WA22. I bought it as an alternative to the PassLabs HPA-1. The sound is great: full, sweet and very involving. The problem I am having is... the hum! I hate the hum, it adds another layer of bother to my already bad tinnitus. I have tried all the usual...- Eduardo C

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone
We all value different things. Some like sparkle and punch. I am extremely sensitive to stridency, metallic sheen, and brightness. So after much trying this is currently my headphone chain: Headphones -> Meze Empyrean (gentle and unoffensive). Dac -> Metrum Acoustics Onyx (dense, dark...- Eduardo C

HiFiMan Susvara
Hi guys. I am having a hard time deciding between Susvara and Abyss phi tc. My Amp is the moon 430ha so I think I will be ok powerwise. I have a doubt about Susvara though: do the ears touch the drivers? That’s really a no go for me since once you notice that it ruins your experience. Any...- Eduardo C

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
Hi all. I want to ask about your impressions using the Abyss phy tc while laying on bed. My LCD-4 are perfect for this since most of the weight is supported by the pillow. I understand the clamp force with the abyss is pretty week. Would that be a problem? Thanks.- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4z - Impressions Thread
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I was not referring to the Hugo2 - lcd4z combination specifically. Rather, my comment was about a general way of toning down the sound. I suffer from tinnitus and I am extremely sensitive to bright and piercing sound. Replacing the Hugo2 with Metrum Acoustics Onyx has...- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4z - Impressions Thread
I had the same problem. I cannot tolerate bright or piercing highs. Someone advised me to replace my Hugo2 with an R2R non oversampling dac and all my problems disappeared. Now I use Metrum Acoustics DACs both in my main system and with my headphones set up.- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4z - Impressions Thread
I completely agree with you. I have the exact same experience with my system. Hugo2 -> PassLabs HPA-1 -> LCD4. The HPA-1 also adds body and richness to the sound.- Eduardo C

...HPA-1. I was not expecting this since the HPA-1 is clearly superior with all my other headphones, specially the Audeze LCD-4. I am enjoying these headphones very much. *note: After further testing I am not sure anymore that the hdvd600 is better than the PassLabs HPA-1 with these...- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4
I don’t have the Dave, but I can tell you about the LCD-4 / Hugo 2 combo. In short, Hugo 2 does not have enough power to drive the LCD-4s. My current set up is Sonos Connect > Hugo 2 > PassLabs hpa-1 > LCD-4 The addition of the PassLabs hpa-1 changed everything, the sound is fuller, specially...- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4z - Impressions Thread
I completely agree with you. What is wrong with Audeeze? There is nothing but confusion regarding these new cans. News about weight reduction vary from 15%, 25% to 33%. The figures about impedance, materials and efficiency are very confusing. Even this thread is hard to find! The same happened...- Eduardo C

Any chance you can place the MX4 somewhere in that chain? Any general comment about lcd-4 vs mx4 will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4
Congrats on your new lcd-4. You will love them. I have tried my lcd-4 connected directly to the Hugo 2 and also using the Hugo 2 as DAC feeding the PassLabs hpa-1. Simply there is no contest. With the hpa-1 in the chain the sound is much much better, fuller, richer. The Hugo 2 alone cannot...- Eduardo C

Hi guys, I hope someone can give me some advice. The power button in Hugo's 2 remote control does not turn on the unit, however it does work fine if I use it to turn off Hugo. Is this normal? Thanks.- Eduardo C

Audeze LCD-4
After much hesitation I decided to trust John Atkinson and bought the PassLabs PHA-1 to drive my LCD-4s. In a word WOW!!! I was afraid the power would be lacking, but that is not the case at all. The volume knob is at 9 most of the time for my listening levels. Rarely do I feel I need to turn...- Eduardo C
