Thread title says it all!   Opinions?   Are the 'new' HD650s considered accurate or more colored in one direction or another? 

Hi,   I have read many posts on this forum and others relating to this practice, and I cannot get my head around the risks and proper setup.   I have read concepts such as: noise, the taps putting out DC instead of AC, running resistors in series, having to use balanced connections for...

Hi, currently I own the SRH840's I am planning on getting a pair of LCD-2's very soon also, basically I want to purchase a Ray Samuels SR-71B and a Cypher Labs Algorithm Solo, as a portable rig, but it will also be my main one, my source is a 160gb iPod Classic, as of now I can only get either...

Hey!   So, I have decided to acquire a pair of LCD-2's and have questions about dacs/amps, and one or two questions about the headphones before making the purchase. I wish to use these with my MacBook Pro (USB) and lossless audio.   1) I was first looking at the Peachtree Nova, but will...

Hello   Firstly, thanks for a great community with lots of helpful people. I've been lurking around here for quite some time, but when I research one question ten new pops up. What I have gotten from all my research is that you need to know what you want, and you have to match every...

So I'm planning on purchasing a Schiit Lyr to use with my Audeze Lcd-2's that I'm gonna purchase soon, right now I have the Shure SRH840's and the HD598's will this amp work with these 2 headphone's i.e. 6 Watts, and how will the sound be, thanks.

So, I took a quick visit over to 32 Ohm Audio today on my way home to get some info on some gear I should be reviewing here soon (ALO Continental, AlgoRythm Solo, etc.) I met Caleb, the manager of the store and he showed me around. I didn't know those high end headphones were so massive. Anyway...

I have been reviewing this site for about a month and decided to join this morning. I am thinking about buying a pair of LCD 2's and looked at the reviews and those that are compared against them, however should I be going the other way first with a headphone amp such as the Dark Star from Ray...

I'm looking at buying a pair of Audeze LCD2 headphones and need a good pre-amp to go with them. I don't mind spending up to $3000 for a good pre-amp but I don't want to go silly and I want value for money in the end. I want the pre-amp to be used in my future setup which is why I want a good...

  I've asked assistance on this of others, and once in another thread, but I believe that thread was far too fast-paced for my question to keep up x]. I have been on my search for a good setup of gaming & music equipment for a while, though I've been focusing more on finishing up my computer...

Before you read this thread, I simply want to know what the most bassy headphone is, regardless of the prize range.     I tried doing a search but no relevant results came up, so I'll make a thread and ask anybody out there who cares. Which headphone has the most bass quantity and...

What do you think? If not then where starts the High End? At what price or quality point?

It's more focused on the laptop --> matrix   so, according to specs, my toshiba satellite laptop has "spdif out shared with headphone jack. And the back of my matrix mini looks like this: http://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread.php?57408-FS-Matrix-Mini-i-24-96-usb-dac-headphone-pre-amp  ...

Hey guys!   Been looking into headphones specifically for the aforementioned genres. After doing some research within the forums, and many many many threads later, i've come to the conclusion that the HD600 and HD650 are the top contenders. Which do you guys suggest and why? Any opinion will...

I received a big box from the german Audeze distributor yesterday morning. Since here the distribution network is not very good, the distributor for Audeze sends around a few test headphones. I cannot say how much I honor that. There is nothing as good as having an item at home. Much better...

Last night I had a dream that I found a pair of LCD-2's at my local flea market. Apparently the some random girl inherited it from her father but she had no idea how much it was worth and thought it was antique wood looking junk so I snagged it for $50. Because of this dream, I actually found...

First of all, there seems to be no specific thread discussing these two planars at the moment.   As far as I know, both of them are quite efficient to be driven, close price difference, and the LCD-2s seem really excel in bass department (not sure how the HE-500s perform in comparison). Amp...

It may be my relative inexperience with headphone characteristics, but it appears to me that warm/laidback are often associated with each other, and forward/bright are as well.   Do we know of any warm/forward headphones? Bright/laidback? Are these terms synonyms?

for less the $1000 you just cant beat this setup hrt ms2 plus dac, hifiman ef5 amp and the hifiman he-4 headphones. show me a setup better than this for less then $1000. im so glad i went with this setup.

So  I m just about ready to pull the trigger on Audeze's LCD-2 headphones but I m really scared by the 1 year warranty.  Right now I m a collage student working part time at staples so its taken me forever and a day to save up this kind of money and I really want these headphones to last.   ...

I just received the new leather headphone band from audeze. The leather is soft with 6 pads varying from smaller near the earcups to larger in the middle of the band. I think the LCD2's look very nice but a little less distinctive with the new headband. They look closer to the other headphones...

I currently have a Meier Corda Opera Amp (with DAC). It seems the LCD-2's are really highly regarded. What are your opinions as to how they might work together?    I'm concerned that the planars might require too much current for the Opera (which are fantastic with my current 600 Ohm...

Hi guys   Well, just as the title says - I purchased an Audeze LCD-2 off from the audeze website (www.audeze.com) I payed via paypal, (yet the money hasn't been taken out of my bank account yet).   Once I payed via paypal, they gave me a username and password - which they said I would...

Okay, I watched a show today, and it made me realize that the soundstage on my LCD2 is a little narrow.  I really like the way the instruments and vocals sound on my LCD2, but I want better soundstage and imaging.  Would the HE-6/500 be better? or would I have to go with HD650/800?  Please give...

Lately Ive been mulling over getting new headphones, opening up to new sound signatures, etc, but the sheer size of the headphone audiophile world at the moment, is driving me insane, with a million amplifiers to go with headphones, and dac's with small to large differences in terms of sound...
