The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hey guys, I have to get this off my chest. I'm hoping people can chime in with their experiences as well, because I can't be the only one! Context: My main headphones are the LCD-2; my source is a CD player that outputs a fixed 2 Vrms. With my Burson Soloist, the LCD-2 are driven pretty loud...

Just paid for my LCD-2 and its only a week away. I'm after some opinions on cables specifically from LCD-2 owners with aftermarket cables.   I've tried to search the forum with limited success. It seems the ALO Chain Mail is a popular choice but on the more expensive side...

I currently have the HD650 and HE-400, would the LCD-2s make a difference in sound? Or would I be better of buying a speaker?

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm wondering what headphones I should buy? My budget for the Headphones + any equipment I need (Amp?) is around £2000 . I'm not an audophile, I just enjoy good sound and would like to purchase some top quality headphones. I was thinking about the Sennheiser HD...

I love these types of mids. I'm looking to finally get a flagship and these two are at the top. Im after Liquid, lush thick mids.

I just got my LCD-2's and have been experimenting with gain mode on the Asgard 2.   I perceive some dynamic range compression in high gain mode as compared with low gain.   From a technical standpoint, is that possible or just my imagination?

Hey guys,    I'm looking for some headphone advice.  Ive been up and down the Grado line up to the 325, Beyer DT 770, ATH M50, AKG702, not really sure where to go now.  I'm looking for a V shaped fun signature, but I'd like closed if possible.  I mostly listen to rock, heavy metal, punk,etc ...

Ordered some LCD 2s directly from Audeze and received them this week.  Listened for 4-5 hrs using an Audioengine DAC (only DAC I have at the momemt) and a Schiit Lyr with stock tubes and then Bugle Boys.  I didn't get the amazing well controlled deep bass that everyone has been raving about so...

First off: longtime lurker, first time poster, im glad to finally have an excuse to join :D   I am in need of some serious guiding from some knowledgeable people.   Right now i have a Beyerdynamic dt770 pro headphone, with a really bad no-name DAC. but later this year, i will be getting abit...

Hi all, I know this has been touched on on more than a couple of occasions, however all the posts i could find were quite old. I have just acquired a pair of LCD2 (Rev 1). I have currently got an e17 Fiio, which was fine for my Senn Momentums and Vmoda LP2's, which really didnt need any...

I am trying hard to get used to a pair of Alpha Dogs that just arrived but I fear that closed headphones are just not my thing.  I have listened to Sennheisers and Stax headphones and I think I need to go in the open direction.    Everyone raves about the Audeze headphones and I have never...

Still working on it..convinced I'll never find a pair.

Hello-   Can I use a Fiio E12 connected to laptop to drive a LCD-2 headphone without causing any damage to any of the components?   Thank you.

My Wadia 121 DAC has three pin balanced XLR outputs on the rear of the device. Can I use those to drive my LCD 2 headphones if I re cable them with balanced cables? The Wadia documentation isn't helpful. Obviously I don't want to spring for balanced cables unless I'm sure it will work. Any...

I'm looking for an amp/dac combo that would bring out the best in the HD 650. I loved the LCD2 sound, it seemed like a super powered hd 650. However I just couldn't stand the weight. What will give me those crystal clear mids, and tight bass with weight to it that the LCD 2 had? Budget is...

I just collected this baby in the morning from local dealer . Going to open it tonight but i dont have the usb cable so here is the questions. Im going to use a 5 dollar temporary, should i get a pure copper or silver cable for it? Btw im using lcd 2.2 +q cable with it which i belive is copper...

I have an Audeze LCD-2.2 that I'm running with a fully balanced Mjolnir/Gungnir stack (usb 2.0), using iTunes, (mostly 256/320 files, a few 96/24) with Windows 7 (AMD/Realtek). As good as the sound is with this setup, I feel like I'm still losing out on significant SQ because I am largely...

I heard both the LCD-2 and the HD800 at a meet, and I prefer the LCD-2. I think I like "warm" sound, but I was thinking about something. I know that some people characterize very warm sound as a coloration (something not neutral). However, I noticed that the LCD-2 had what I would call "timbre...

Some great Black Friday deals going on and I am stressing over which trigger to pull. I currently have a pair AKG  Q701 which I just play out of my Marantz receiver (no dedicated head amp) and VModa M-80s for portable, both of which I love.   I have wanted a pair of LCDs for a while but always...

Hey!   What can you tell me about the stands from ROOM's [1] ? It's a german company and they make headphone-stands like the Sievekin Omega, but they also have a model, called the "FS" and I really like the looks of it.   Does anybody own this type of stand and can comment...

I have a good setup at home (DAC/MisterX PPA/LCD2) but I'm looking for something cheap and not too nasty for work. Mains powered, very compact so I can lock it away if required, preferably in the $50 to max $100 price range. It will feed the Mad Dog modified T50RPs, which I'll only buy if I can...

As the title says, is what I need. I'm looking to build a setup around the HE-500's, as I already tried a lot of other high end setups with the HD800, LCD-2, LCD-3, HE-6, and the T1, and found that the HE-500 suits me the best. I have both a Charleston Cable Company HE-500 cable with a 4-Pin XLR...

Hello!   I'm new here. :)   ...and I don't know much about headphone amps.    I currently have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 600 Ohm headphones.   Right now I'm monitoring through the headphone jack on my Pioneer DJM 900 mixer.  It seems to work fine that way.  They are more than loud...
