Still laughing a lot

Hi, Anyone pairing the EF-5 with LCD-2? Are they a good combo together? For those of you who used to own this amp, what amp do you currently pair with the LCD-2 that provide better SQ? Thanks, would really appreciate your help!

About two years ago I had my hearing checked.  Just starting my forties and my high frequency hearing was pretty good considering the crap I've been sticking in it during my younger days.  My left ear rolled of at 18.5k and my right ear at around 18k.  Not 20 to 20 but I was fine with that.  I...

Hey guys, just like the title says. I'm looking to place an order for some new headphones. Currently have this in my shopping cart at moon audio..   Beyerdynamic DT 880 Ohm Rating 600 Ohm Dragon Series V1 Cable With 5' Silver Dragon V3 Headphone Cable Connector Oyaide 3.5mm Plated...

I know this is probably a stupid question but how is the midrange clarity (transparency) of the LCD-2 in comparison to the ATH-ad900? On a scale of 1-20 rank the clarity (transparency) of both.

Hi!   I've been lurking on head-fi for a few months and I'll start off by saying that I really appreciate the forum and the amount of sound (pun intended) advice that is provided for a relative audiophile rookie such as myself.   I've always been picky about sound quality in general, but...

I started a thread about 8 months ago about balanced vs unbalanced and because I come from a pro film/video background, I couldn't understand why so many of these 1000+ headphone were being made unbalanced. Many opinions in that thread said there is not much of a difference. Well today my...

Am thinking about "moving up" to an Audeze LCD-2 from an AKG 701.  Is it worth the extra $700?  Or should I put it into tubes?  Any and all opinions are appreciated....

REVIEW: Red Wine Audio “Audeze Edition”  balanced Headphone Amplifier – DAC combo   Starting Up   I was very intrigued when I saw that Red Wine Audio, ALO, and Audeze had gotten together to offer what amounts to a complete headphone listening system.  The subject of this review is...

Hey,   I just received my Audio-gd NFB-10SE today in the mail.  It arrived via DHL safely and without a scratch.  Build quality is better than my NFB-12.  It is a nice looking, well put together piece of equipment.   Here are some pictures:   Device Driver Installation    ...

Greetings, I am new to this forum, but have been a fan of headphones for a number of years.  I had originally considered buying a set of Sennheiser HD800's and was visiting this site learn more about them.  However, after reading lots of reviews here, I am now leaning towards auditioning the...

So since I bought the T1 I've been reading a lot of threads on high end gear and it seems to me that the LCD2s are by far the most popular high end headphone. You only have to look at the 17000 post thread here to see what I'm talking about. In contrast, the T1 thread hasn't reached 2000 posts...

Sorry if there is a special forum for advice. I've finally decided to allot some of my budget to upgrade form the earbuds I bought at Walgreens. From my very basic searching, I've ended up with the Sony MDR-SA5000's and the Sennheiser 650's, which are both about $350. I am always willing to...

Audeze: Thank you!!   Last week I waited not so patiently all day for FedEx to deliver my new Audeze LCD2rev2's.  They finally arrived and I carefully opened the cardboard box, then the travel case...........and there they were.  I only needed to clip the two black plastic zip-ties holding...

Hi All, Just want to share my intial impression of the HE-500 compare to the LCD-2.   I finally ordered and received the Hifiman HE-500 headphones from Headroom last Friday after returning the Audeze LCD-2 (still waiting for them to process my refund).    Listening to the HE-500 for the...

My (classical) music loving friend is hard to move on spending his hard earned $.  He has a very nice Rotel CDP which I've listened to using a Benchmark DAC1 & HD 800 headphones so can verify it is good quality audio coming out.   However he baulks at spending too much but I think I've...

    Over the past 15 years I have struggled to satisfy my audio needs without much success.  It seems like every time I read a thread title with more than 1 exclamation point, I get as excited as a ravenous wolf whom just witness the sudden spontaneous combustion of some woodland creature...

Hi all!   Hoping I might be able to call upon your combined wisdom to help in selecting some headphones. I've tried so many brands and I've never found the right pair. There are two simple issues I keep running up against. Size + Heat. I want a pair of over-ear headphones but no matter what...

Hey guys, I've just finished my first blog post with a comparison between my two LCD 2s. Please check it out and tell me what you think, Thanks   http://musingsofahungryaudiophile.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-first-post-audeze-lcd-2-rev-2.html

I have a quick question. Do I need any extra equipment to play a planar magnetic headphone? all i have is a cmoy and zune hd.

I have been quite interested in getting into the sound of orthodynamic headphones and head-fi. At one point I was seriously considering the Audeze LCD-2, but considering I am a college student and the price tag of $950, that is just not an option for me. The Fostex T50RP looks like a great place...

Hey everyone, first-time poster, long-time lurker.  After much research and deliberation, this morning I ordered myself a WooAudio 6SE.  It's supposed to ship this week, and I'm pretty excited.  So now I need a good pair of cans to go with it.  I currently own a pair of Sennheiser 555s.  I've...

Do you think this would be a good setup for the HD650 if I were, to say, add a nice DAC like the CLAS or the Cambridge DACMagic along with the setup?
