You are such a teaser. Look forward to more impressions. You don´t by any chance have access to an auditor/phonitor?

I'm not trying to be a tease, just haven't had much time with the combo. I wish I had more!!
 
Sorry, don't have an Auditor/Phonitor available. I generally don't like solid state amps much, but this one is sounding great. The combo right now is a little dark, and I don't know if that is the phones or the amp. Both are new to me, so it's hard for me to make a call. More listening tonight, after a long day of recording...........

I'm building a 3-channel b22 to go along with the LCD-2. What gain do you guys think would be optimal?

 

[crowley]

would the lcd2 work well with a starter amp like the ef2? am gonna upgrade the dac real soon and the amp later but was wondering if the ef2 would do the lcd2 some justice

 

[gogogasgas]

How's the Violectric going Santicore? Up 'n running?
 
Anyone out there experimenting with the Luxman P-1u?

Would anyone know if a SAC/AKG K 1000 amp would be sufficient to drive the LCD-2s

Easily.

I posted this in the other LCD-2 thread, but I am finding the WooAudio WA6 (mine has the PDPS) is very adept at driving the LCD-2, and would be my "relatively inexpensive tube amp" recommendation for use with the Audeze.

My wallet is not gonna like this

I'm really liking the Stacker 2 with the LCD-2.  This Saturday is a Seattle local meet, so I'll have a good chance to check out the LCD-2 on a bunch of other rigs too.  If anyone wants to check out the Seattle meet thread and let me know if you want impressions from any of the rigs there, let me know.  I can probably hit up some of the others for their impressions too, so there's more experience and a well-rounded background.  Guess I might want to bring a notepad.  LOL

 

[yococo96]

do you think the lcd2 will paired well with the rp010mk2? 
or I'll be forced to buy a leben...

 

[cravenz]

not sure about asking this, but any clue on whether the Matrix M-Stage would be able to power the LCD-2s?

It would be really great if someone could do a direct comparison between the Meier Concerto, Woo Audio WA6 and Violectric HPA V200 (or new V181) driving the LCD-2.

I think Sky has done two out of the three already if I'm not mistaken.

It's how those two compare to the Violectric that interests me.

The HPA V181 looks like it uses 4 Buf634s, I assume in pairs, so at best, I would expect it to be comparable to the Meier Concerto.
 
Here's a spec comparo.  The V200 should be a much more stout amp than the V181.

 
2.7W into 50 ohms should do pretty nicely!  The V200 uses discrete outputs vs the V181 which uses Buf634s according to the Violectric data sheets.  I would take the V200 over the V181 any day.
