Need adapter help please!
If you can point 6sn7 to 12au7 and 12au7 to 6cg7, I see no way this shouldn't work. I use a 6cg7 on my cth for years so I am very sure it works. Since my adapter is 6sn7 to 12au7, all I need to do is point 12au7 to 6cg7. I need to run pin from 5 to pin 4 on the 12au7 and pin 9 to pin 5 for it to...- Badd99

New Audeze LCD3
I have one of the very first LCD-2's and it sounds better to me than other LCD-2 even rev 1 that I have heard. There is no reason why I would want to sell it and buy the rev 2 or LCD-3.- Badd99

New Audeze LCD3
I said that im broke because to be able to buy the LCD-2 I had to save up forever and sell stuff I have had been collecting over the years to get them. I cant come up with another grand. I wear them for sometimes up to 8 hours a day studying and they never bother my neck. I think the fit...- Badd99

Thanks for that information! I would have to agree that someone who is a broke college kid (as myself) to be able to pay 1k and get something close to a 5k headphone is quite nice. Thanks again!- Badd99
