Audeze LCD-2 Impressions Thread

  latest revision Fazor, after november 2015, sounds better than the non fazors I used to own. there is no sibilance in the more present treble, the bass is just as awesome, and it might just be the better treble but it sounds more resolving.

Any special markings I need to check for when looking for used ones to find out if they are nov 2015 or after?

  Well that's a shame.  I'm going to try and track some down then.


If you buy directly from Audeze then it would be one made after Nov 2015 since that is all they have in stock.  If you go the dealer route then the dealer will have to contact Audeze and verify which might not be the best way.

My LCD2 bought in 11/14 from an authorised dealer, suffered driver failure yesterday, so after warranty repair I should get back the newer drivers.
Not that I really miss them after roughly 50 hours of use since purchase but maybe the new drivers will please me more!?

Some guy on the forums had a newer pair for sale so I just bought them. I can't wait.


Okay, now I understand why you wanted to know if there was a way to identify the newer version.  Did the seller have that info for you?  If not you can contact Audeze with your SN and they can give you the date of manufacture.

I sold my HE-400i, and I'm ready to upgrade in the world of planars! I've heard many great things about the LCD-2, but there are those who say the treble is subdued? I'm coming from the HD650, it's not less treble than them right? In fact, I would assume since the LCD-2 is planar, it has much better bass extension and even not as rolled off treble.

  Recent revisions have dealt with any subdued treble mate, and yes the newer model has really good bass extension all the way down to 5hz like the pre fazors and you will hear it.

 
With enough good amplification :)

Yes, seller purchased from an authorized dealer in April 2016.  I would expect them to be the newest version.  Either way I'm sure I'll enjoy them.
