It has three digital inputs and one SE analog output.

My power camp should be back next week from getting modified with Duelund Alexander caps. My speakers are the Anthony Gallo Stradas, so the soundstage should be huge. Jason said after he modded the amp, expect a huge soundstage. I already had that with the Stradas, this will get even more interesting.

The Zodiac Gold with Voltikus is a gem, but it would be a waste just to use it with headphones - it truly shines when used with high end speaker systems. In speaker systems the soundstage improvement becomes huge. IMO the Zodiac Gold is head and shoulders above the Weiss DAC 202. You will have to venture into the US$15,000+ range to find a DAC better than it.

I'll be doing a review that should be out about the 10-11th of October, it will be solely for the LCD-2 and comprise of many different amps/dacs. The W4S DAC1 and Violectric V200 and V800 will be in as well as all of Bursons gear and the Schiit Lyr. Perhaps you'd like to wait around for that comparison before pulling the trigger.

I stumbled across Skylab's mention of the MHDT Havana + Schitt Lyr + LCD-2 combo. However, I can't seem to find many descriptions or reviews with the two of them paired. Can anyone tell me what this combo (with the Bendix 2C51 tubes) sounds like, and which genres it's geared towards?

On a side now: It's funny that this combo costs less than the CLAS-DB2-SR71B-LCD2 transportable combo.

I have the same combo; MHDT Havana(stock tubes) > Lyr(Mullards E88CC) > LCD-2 rev1 and prefer it to the Woo WA22. Nice lush mids, great speed and excellent bass impact.

I still slightly prefer my WA22 over my Lyr. What tubes are you using with your WA22?

I had to put my Lyr on a platform.  The tubes were resonating a little or so I think they were, I could hear a slight ringing noise every so often.  Isolating them on a platform with no vibrations seemed to fix it well.

Did you try tube dampers?

I suggest you try a pair of 5692 or CV181-Z (Shuguang Treasure...they're not cheap though) driver tubes. As well, the Mullard 5AR4 of Princess 274B rectifier tube. I find these tubes work amazingly well with the LCD-2s.

Thanks.
Now the tube-hunt begins

I have it on a home-trial from I-Enjoy

 

[ninjikiran]

If the problem persist I will look into the dampeners, saw some cheap ones from a site called Herbies online($13 a peice I think I saw).  My only concern is the space around the tube.

did u have to pay anything for the home trial? i was interested in doing that at first

I never did this but I don't believe you have to pay. Nelson and Linda are very good to deal with btw. Very helpful and responsive.
