Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

My original plan was to upgrade my DAC first. But foolish Pinky, I peruse the Classifieds too regular-like. Saw this at a great price, and couldn't stop myself.

The LCD2 is being driven by my Maverick Audio D1 Plus, fully upgraded. So it's single-ended right now. Sounds amazing.

I love the signature of the HD600, and these seem to hold to that fairly well. Neutral-warm, laid-back sonics. Yet these have so much depth to them, and frightfully silky texture. They are a healthy cut above what I'm used to.

Need to get that balanced DAC now!

Poor, mistreated coin purse. :frowning2:

Good to hear!  I've been kind of an iem guy, but always loved my HD600s.  LCD2s are coming in next week!

I think you're going to love them.

Listening to a vinyl rip of Let it Bleed by The Rolling Stones right now. It's divine. :basshead:

That's a great description. I thought the same thing when I got my pair. I had no idea that digital music even HAD that much texture and depth to it.

Pinky, is this your first Planar Driver?

I thought about the HE560 for a while. The fact is, my SennHD600 is a titan. If I was looking for an upgrade, I knew it would take a lot for me to feel it was a worth-while upgrade. The LCD2 seemed like the right choice.

Now I think I was absolutely right.

Does the Cayin C5 amp drive these well?

Can anyone suggest a good aftermarket cable for this? pure copper, silver or spc?

 
I love my Forza Audio Works cable. The thing is a beautiful beast. http://forzaaudioworks.com/en/product.php?id_product=72
