I’ve searched for an answer to the following question but haven’t found an answer. I have a Bottlehead Crack with Speedball, a tube amp that works best with high impedance headphones. I have LCD-3 headphones that are low impedance. I use them with the Audeze Deckard and JDS Labs “EL DAC”...- hawkwindx

I have question I’ve searched for the answer to but haven’t had any success. I have LCD-3 headphones that are low impedance. I use them with the Audeze Deckard and JDS Labs “EL DAC”.

Wow I looked up Vienna Acoustics. Those are some high end speakers. I would love to hear what they sound like. Any other opinions on loudspeakers that sound similar to the LCD-3’s?- hawkwindx

I sometimes consider selling the LCD-3 because I need the money, but I've found it hard to part with them. Joe Bonamassa's Blues Deluxe - I'll have to check that out. I also really like Blues. The Rolling Stones "Blue and Lonesome" is a great album.- hawkwindx

The Bottlehead Crack is built for high impedance headphones like the Sennheiser HD650. I've found that the LCD-3's sound great through this amp also, even though from what I've read they're not supposed to. I also have a Deckard. Anyone else use the Crack? What are your impressions?- hawkwindx

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
I turned 60 about 6 months ago. I like a wide variety of music through the LCD-3's. Symphonies are great. You can hear so much depth and pick out so much going on. I also like a lot of 70's music like Graham Nash, Spirit, Gong, Frank Zappa, and many others. I listen to lossless music as well as...- hawkwindx

Thanks, that David Crosby album is very good. I've also really enjoyed "This Path Tonight" by Graham Nash. Sounds like it was made for the LCD-3's.- hawkwindx

Thanks for sharing the music. I like to hear what other people recommend, especially when they're listening to the same headphones. I'm not currently using Tidal as Apple Music sounds great on these headphones, though there is a noticeable difference. Check out Trygve Seim - New Beginning from...- hawkwindx

Maybe you’re suffering a little from buyer’s remorse. I did. They’re expensive headphones. I’ve had mine for maybe 2 months now. I think they did burn in but maybe I’ve just gotten used to them. I really like my LCD-3’s. I don’t find them heavy or “fatiguing”. I’m very happy I have them now...- hawkwindx

muscleking, how is the audio gd reference 10.32 with the 384 upgrade compared to the Deckard? And did you find the extra power cord to make a measurable difference?- hawkwindx

I had a tube that would cause some ringing. I switched to a different tube, and no ringing. So in your case, maybe it's the tube.- hawkwindx

I’m very happy with my set up as it is, but that amp looks cool. Nice design. And what does R-2R stand for? Is that an LCD-4?- hawkwindx

Povell42, I have what I think is the latest version of the LCD-3. Here’s a picture of it. Is this what the 1/4 in “newer” cable looks like that Audeze sent to you?- hawkwindx

Good to hear yours and other’s impressions. I’m not interested in getting another DAC as mine sounds great. I also have a Bottlehead Crack but it’s not well suited for the LCD-3’s. Someday I would like to try a Project Ember. Meanwhile settling in to the music. Really enjoying classical music...- hawkwindx

I don’t want to be misleading, but I noticed a difference adding the EL DAC to the Deckard. I’ll have to try it again next week when I have some time off from work. I had just gotten my LCD-3s and Deckard. It didn’t sound muddy at all. In fact the highs were hurting my ears. After I added the EL...- hawkwindx

Thank you so much! Found the SN. I have the LCD-3’s paired with the Deckard. I added the JDS Labs EL DAC and it sounds very good. The Deckard alone sounded great, but adding the EL DAC improved the sound considerably. Best way I can describe it is the EL DAC mellowed down the overall sound to...- hawkwindx
