Thanks.  I love the Deckard + LCD2-F pairing, they are made for each other

I love my deckard, it's such a great sounding amp.

Agree.  My Deckard and LCD2F are paired together, forever.  BHFF.  LOL
 
I didn't like the Deckard nearly as much with the LCD3F, but with the 2, it's perfect.

I've got a Liquid Carbon on the way because I hear they're perfect for Ether Flow but does anyone have any impressions with LCD 2.2F? Preferably with any sonic changes they observed.

​Congratulations! I use the Liquid Carbon with my LCD 2.2F and it is an excellent combo, especially with balanced cables. The LC is a very dynamic and musical amplifier.

Awesome! Can you recommend any balanced cables?

I recommand you the Toxic cable Silver Widow or Silver poison. Much better than the stock cable.

It brings the Lcd2f to another level of detail, speed... bass will be more impactfull and tight. Sound stage wider , more depth. The overall sound is cleaner. The silver cable needs about 70h of burn in. I combine it with suedine pads and the combo with liquid carbon is excellent.As source a Chord mojo.


The LC is a neutral amp with a slightly touch of warm. I don't know the deckard can't compare its.

I used the LC and balanced SW22.  It's a great combo!

Audeze has a new upgraded 1/4" or XLR coming out. I'm considering the balanced version, as I'm still using (and happy with, to be honest) the stock cables. I'd like to hear what the hubbub is about. $699 from Audeze but it's looking like 399 from the normal retail outlets.

​I'm not into cables so I just use the Audeze standard balanced cables. I think they're $80 on the Audeze site. I'm sure others will chime in with their favorite cables so you'll have plenty of choices!

I got the cheapest offering from Double Helix Cables (DHC) and I have been very happy with the build quality. Look into the science behind high-end cables, I think it's largely snake oil. Getting something with good aesthetics and build quality is good though . Just don't get something way longer than you need - less wire means less resistance and capacitance and importantly, price. DHC is super cool, I met the owner at a meet and he gave me a nice discount and was a very nice guy to talk to. Check used / classifieds as well!

Also: it can be good to make sure you're getting gold plated connectors or rhodium instead of the cheaper nickel. Plating affects the life and corrosion resistance, and therefore durability of the plug/socket - rhodium I think is the best as gold wears down sooner (it's softer). A protective layer isn't a bad idea either.
