Hello folks,   I've had an HD 650 for a long time now that I paired with a Qinpu A-3 and a Schiit modi and am planning to upgrade. I have a much bigger budget this time (~$2000 for DAC & amp combo) and am hoping to purchase an LCD 2 or 3 after I gather equipment, but need advice on what I'll...

A new service from HeadAmp, an authorized Audeze dealer in the USA -  now you can see the frequency response graph (made by Audeze) for all in-stock LCD-2 and LCD-3 headphones before making a purchase.   http://www.headamp.com/order/index.htm#audeze ^ see the new feature here   I will...

I've stuck with my trusty Audio-GD NFB-12 for almost 2 years. It's outlasted a Schiit Bifrost and Schiit Asgard. I like its sound and price such that I sold the Schiit stack and kept the NFB-12 for primary use. I currently am using Fostex T50-RP and I'm very happy with them for the minimal...

Anybody still think the Burson HA-160 is a great amp these days? I know the pace of new amps coming out and new, better audio technology releases rivals that of digital cameras, but I still think this is terrific amp and wonder if I can still get a good price for it? 

Now I know Audeze LCD2 might not be the best headphones to choose for referencing as they may butter up my sound a little, I do use Beyerdynamic 770Pro, Sennheiser HD25 and my trusty ADAM Audio monitoring setup to A/B..C/D... on to get a nice rounded mean of all listening devices. I already...

Hello,  i am upgrading from my current setup sennheiser 595 to the Audeze lcd2 and yulong D100 Dac plus amp. its considered a very DAC and amp combo for under 500$. Will this will a good match. any suggestions  will be welcomed.         thanks.

Greetings All, Im new here a you may gather from my first post:) Ive been looking on the web now for a few days trying to source a new pair of headphones mainly to listen to on the PC using a Top end Sound Card with headphone amp inbuilt After searching Accessoryjack and Amazon i keep...

No, sorry to disappoint you, this isn't a thread about how much better the LCD-2 sounds when driven from the back end of a speaker amp, but of how a speaker amp used in the conventional way might be just what the LCD doctor ordered.   I have a Rev1. I don't find it dark but occasionally...

I am thinking about upgrading the amp for my Koss ESP 950 headphone amp. I am thinking of looking for a Stax SRM-1/MK2 pro amp. My question is the something other than that amp that will take me a large step forward without spending a fortune? Second question, or would I be better off going into...

I own LCD-2 and Vio V200.   Would buying a Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA be a significant upgrade?   Comments/thoughts?

hey all   im about to buy the audeze LCD2 headphone from a friend, and i was just wondering how can i be sure it REV 2. and how can i check the manufacturing date?   thanks in advance, haguy

I've heard many people say the HE-400 was fantastic with the Lyr and Bifrost, that it was a different beast. However, the Lyr+Bifrost is a 900 dollar setup which is pretty damn expensive. The HE-400 + Lyr+ Bifrost will cost 1300 dollars, and with that money I could get a hi-fi setup. Since it...

I've been enjoying LCD-2s/HD800s for a while now (Bifrost/asgard/E10) however I'm very tempted to sell them and go with custom IEMs full time, a new portable DAC/AMP and then go with a flagship custom, my only worry is that I'll be losing quite a bit in doing so, I was just wondering what I may...

Hi guys,   I'm no expert in this matter and was wondering if anyone with more experience in the field would have any insights. I posted this same post in one of my other threads, but I find the topic very interesting so figure i'd start a new thread about it. Below's just one of the things I...

Aside from Stax, HD800, T1, & Audeze LCDx what else are on the market if you own those already?

I bought both because they were in stock and hard to find. Not sure which one to keep now. What would you suggest?

I have been playing the piano since I was about 7 (more than 30 years now). Due to the fact that I don't want to disturb my neighbours, practicing and repeating the same bit of music over and over again, I have a high-end Yamaha Clavinova CLP-170. It was the top of the range model a few years...

Hi all.   I'm looking for something to replace my Beyer T1s and am hoping for some advice. The T1s are very transparent and detailed which I generally like but I have personally found them a bit bright and a bit distant. I'm looking for something with a fuller sound that's also more engaging...

Here is an admittedly crude poll, a start. But it might get some thinking going, and might lead to more interesting future polls.   MULTIPLE ANSWERS ARE PERMITTED, it's easy to imagine someone fitting in multiple categories... so you can say something like "I'm acostic with the Audeze and...

is there a simple way to tell by serial number whether my LCD-2 is revision 1 or 2?   it's 5313896

Hi there, I can't for the life of me find the Audeze lcd-2 rev.2 thread, so here am, asking questions. How is the LCD-2 Rev.2 for electronic music? Electronica, ambient, house etc. - And if people can compare them to other flagship headphones for this, please do so (fx. HD800, HE-6 etc.). Thank...

How about a comparison of the HD650 and the HE-500? These two cans are close in price, especially once you consider fancy recables.I will soon have both at my home and will try to rapidly burn-in and listen. I will also have upgrade cables (Cardas) for both.   Currently I use the LCD2. I'm a...

I'm doing a review (that's not the review just saying that I'm doing it) of the HD650 vs the LCD2, with a headroom balanced desktop amp, along with my trusty PPA that has a DAC inside it. I asked on the blog if anyone had questions or suggestions for the review, but I figured this would be a...

Lately, there are a ton of new headphones that came to market or is coming from major brands and Head-Fi members in the form of mods.  What is the one or two headphones you like to see (video) and read a review on?  Let's keep the price at $199+.   I am excited about the V-Moda M-100.
