I've read that with the 100 ohm versions (the earliest models) big pressure changes could basically rupture the drivers. That's why they went with the felt spacers on the revised models, to ease the pressure. The 100 ohm versions--and, again, I've only read this, so have it...

A question about LCD-4 variants: I've read through a big chunk of the thread, but didn't quite find what I'm looking for.... Most LCD-4s out in the wild now seem to have the felt or rubber (?) spacers. Is there any appreciable difference in SQ or frequency profile between these two? Or between...

Any sense of how many watts it will put into 60 ohms? Susvara, in other words.

HD25 or variants?

Perhaps I'm combing through the wrong part(s) of the thread, but has there been any gathering consensus for internal OS vs straight NOS on the R26? Or upsampling via Roon/HQ Player to either DSD or PCM? It seems that upsampling to PCM makes the most sense for this DAC?? I don't play any DSD...

I see a small handful of reports of folks using vintage tube amps on here, but wondering if there's any prevailing opinion about their suitability with the Sus. I'm thinking 60s, 70s here. Classic designs. Perhaps too noisy?

What's the equivalent DAC in the Neo Stream? A Zen DAC? The Neo DSD?

Any ready way to tell the older 100 ohm driver models from the newer ones? (Besides the blue cable.) Thanks for the tips!

Does anyone know of a good source for new or B-stock LCD-4? (Besides Audeze's infrequent sales.) I've been hoping one would come up through World's Best Headphones, but nothing for a couple months. Thanks.

Question: Is the volume pot on the Amp-23R stepped? If so, how many usable steps does it seem to have on high or low gain (with speakers or HPs)? Apologies if this has been addressed previously in the thread. A search shows that the question may have been posed, but I didn't see any definite...

There's a new Bakoon amp coming? Didn't Bakoon become Enleum?

Also eyeing them for the Susvara...

I've searched around a bit in various Stax threads, but there don't seem to be a ton of impressions on how well the Z10E drives either electrostats or conventional headphones. Anyone spent time with the LTA amp? Does seem like something that could power sensitive dynamics, the Susvara (from...
