I basically fixed the bass / treble to meet my preferred response (which is like the i4 at 80% Reveal) by using the following EQ: +1.2 DB in a smooth curve under 1k. -1.2 DB in a smooth curve over 1k. The sound stage still sounds great to me, very wide. Attached is a picture of the EQ. I don't...

I picked up an LCD-24. Here are my impressions: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/d32z0m/lcd24_initial_impressions/ Note: I am highly skeptical of claims that the LCD-X or the 24 cannot be driven totally effectively by something like a Dragonfly Red, and I also doubt people can hear...

Regarding the LCD-24, do you guys at Audeze have representative frequency graphs you could share so we could get an idea of how the sound signature differs from the 4z? I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on these as a happy Audeze customer from the past but without reviews I would need some...

Ha ha. Alright. This is increasing the level of 4z temptation. Thank you very much (both of you!) for sharing your thoughts.

Could you comment on the listening experience with the i4 vs the 4z? What is your chain for the i4, if you don't mind my asking? I have been considering both headphones but the FR graph on the 4Z is putting me off, as I really like the energy of the signature of the LCD-X. I also own an iSine 20...

Sure thing. 5 minutes work for me in Photoshop.

Sorry about the faintness. I have tried to do a direct compare between the 2016 4 and the 2018 4Z here:

And here is one that just compares my 2016 LCD-X to the 2018 LCD4Z pictured.

Here is a composite I made that includes the FR of the pictured Audeze LCD4Z. https://imgur.com/a/JSd3n3F For sources of the images, see the original Reddit thread I replied to here: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/59d3mv/got_my_lcd3_back_from_audeze_finally_asked_them/

For good measure, here's a graph which includes LCD-4 overlays from here (2015): http://www.head-fi.org/t/782442/audeze-lcd-4/1215   And here (2016): https://headmania.org/2016/04/04/audeze-lcd-4-review/audeze-lcd-4-grapgh/   Putting this into words (using definitions from here...

And here is an overlay of these two graphs with a thread from another website on someone's old versus new LCD3 drivers. 

Ok, here's an overlay of the two graphs (at least for one of the ears you have -- I only got one graph from them). The old LCD-X remains in red, while the 2016 is in black. 

Adding to the reference materials available (cross-post from the Audeze revoicing thread), here is my 2016 LCD-X's frequency response graph.

Here's a picture of my April 21 2016 LCD-X's Frequency response graph:

I bought a used GeorgeP built KGHSSV Carbon with new 2016 007 MK2s (no mods). The level of awesome is extremely high. Best I've ever heard. My points of "reference" are BM5A studio reference monitors: http://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/dynaudio-bm5a and a May 2016 LCD-X. I'll probably post a...

(Still waiting for anything on safety from the Utopia manual or any Focal rep to comment on the use of Be)

Science is hard. To give an example, we put drugs through exceptionally stringent review processes, but sometimes still discover too late that they cause harm. Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rofecoxib   This happens with mass marketed consumer products too...

Are there any peer reviewed studies or filings with governmental bodies certifying this to be the case (with respect to dust)? I would have to imagine that the portable headphone form factor would be a novel use case and thus lacking a statistically significant number of incident reports. Are...

Um, not to crash the party here, but doesn't putting a vibrating sheet of a neurotoxic metal like beryllium directly next to your head strike anyone as a bit of a questionable design choice? Many speakers with beryllium tweeters carry warnings that if the tweeters are shattered you will be...
