Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
For someone less well-versed with the Folkvangr proposition ... how should I think about it vis-a-vis something like the Mjolnir 2? I was rocking original LCD-2's, but am now on LCD-5's, which (I think?) require less to drive. I am not an EE. :)- fugimax

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
FYI: The grounded extension cable for the Apple Macbook adapter has, as expected, fixed the tingling issue and buzzing issue.- fugimax

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I've got a 16" with Touch Bar here, so pretty recent ... I'm also not using Apple's charger, I'm using a generic Anker hub. I'm going to start by trying the ungrounded Apple supply, and then try the grounded extension to see what's going on.- fugimax

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Seems like it's pretty common with Macbook's, actually.. http://enclydion.blogspot.com/2012/04/my-laptop-bit-me-shocking-truth.html Agree with you it's not good, which is why I'm looking for a grounded solution. :)- fugimax

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
A little off-topic, but it involves my Schiit-rig, so I'll try here.. I'm looking for a good multi-port GROUNDED usb charger. I currently have an Anker and, like most usb charging hubs, it is not grounded. The result is.. 1. I get a slight tingling feeling when I touch my laptop. This is...- fugimax

Some more thoughts.. I'm not all fancy like many here, so I'm just gonna give you my thoughts on my music.. Back in Black ... loving the separation here, particularly on double-tracked guitar riffs. Sad but True (Metallica) ... Thick drums. Can hear James' throat grating. Sympathy for the...- fugimax

Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview
Been listening for a few hours. Wow. Coming off original LCD-2's, it's hard to even compare. Everything is just ... better. The song that finally made a tear fall was Money off of DSotM (Black Triangle CD from Japan). In both of the major solos, there is SO MUCH going on. So much I'd never...- fugimax

Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview
Not a direct LCD5 update, but those following my shipping drama, the Schiit Gungir 2 I sent in for a USB upgrade finally arrived today after a week delay at the FedEx facility. I had it upgraded to the Unison USB board. HOLY SMOKES with my og LCD-2’s the difference is SO clear. Detail, Clarity...- fugimax

Well, my LCD-5's have reached the dreaded Newark, CA FedEX hub. The same place my Schiit Gungnir has been stuck for 4 days. No idea when I'll be getting these things now. :( Audeze (and everyone else listening), please stop shipping FedEx Home Delivery / Ground. It's a blackhole. If you must...- fugimax

Mine's on track for tomorrow still. Unfortunately, my Gungnir that was on it's way back from Schiit for a UnisonUSB upgrade has been stuck at a facility for the last 3 days. :xf_mad: Will be using my Bifrost 2 with my Mjolnir 2.- fugimax

It's not available in the store, but they are making these new cables in XLR if you ask for it. Confirmed with support it is the new cabling, not the existing premium cable.- fugimax

I just sent mine in today for the Unison USB upgrade. Yggy is tempting, but I've never felt like the Gumby wasn't giving me what I wanted, and now with Unison, I can take my Wyrd out of the chain.- fugimax

I ordered in the first hour they were available.. All the talk of the Abyss have me want to look at those, but they'll definitely be an AND, not an OR ... I use my LCD's on video calls all day long and no way can I wear those TC's for that... :)- fugimax

If you can afford to keep all 3 you should just take his advice. If you end up keeping all 3, oh well, you can clearly afford it. If you send a few pairs back ... great, buy a Chord DAVE. :)- fugimax

I was just listening to the live recording Metallica did of their recent show at The Independent in SF. They've got it available in 48/24 and I was rocking out so hard on my 2's. You can hear the size of the venue (~500 people) and the channel separation of Kirk and James is so nice. I tend not...- fugimax
