I am actually still interested to see if there are any tube amps that produce a frequency range as flat as a decent solid state amplifier, so if you know of one could you please post it.
When talking about solid state amplifiers vs tubes I was generalizing I realize there are exceptions but in general solid state amplifiers produce less distortion and have flatter fr's.
I probably shouldn't have generalized as it has clearly been misinterpreted.

200kHz bandwidth for audio amps was commonplace back in the day.  Solid state amp "in general" produce gobs more odd order harmonics which are very dissonant and unpleasant to the ear while tube amps tend to produce even order harmonics, which within reason, are judged as pleasant to the ear.  The only way xistor amps get their THD spec down so low is through gobs of negative feedback which destroys other sonic attributes of an audio signal.  How's that for sweeping generalizations?

How does one replace the pads?
 

I'm not sure, but if Audez'e is going to offer replacements, it doesn't seem like it should be very difficult.  Hopefully, they will provide instructions with the replacements.

Recommended by another member.  Great stuff, gets it clean and leaves it conditioned with no scent, oils or chemicals.  I just wished I found out about this years ago before I messed up another headphones pads.

x2,  I am very particular and maybe have an obsession to keep the leather ear pads clean and uses LeatherCPR. So far it's keeping the leather moist and clean and no skin irritation.

I'm considering the LCD-2s and find the description of their sound to my liking, but there's one thing I can't seem to find too much detail on - imaging.  When I listened to a T1, the instruments were much more localised and pushed out in front of my head than my K702 and the DT880 with which I directly compared it.  As a result, the soundstage felt a lot narrower but I definitely preferred it as it seemed as though it was in front of my head.  Instruments all came from a particular place in front of me.  Does the LCD-2 have similar or better imaging capabilities?  Thanks!

Thanks, everyone.  I pulled the trigger on some for my LCD-2s.  Amazon carries it as well.
 
Cheers!

Interesting...   After researching it to death without thinking to ask Audez'e, I decided to try Leather CPR months ago. It seems like too big a coincidence - I wonder if Audez'e had read my first post about it in this thread -or- if they discovered Leather CPR on their own.  In any case, I'm glad I'm using the approved product.

I just got a response from Alex at Audez'e.  He recommended the same stuff that sunneebear did above:

I just checked out their Beta site. Very impressed with the way they are growing their business. I am intrigued with the "Speaker" section.....if I could get LCD-2 sounding speakers....interesting, very interesting.

Congratulations Audeze!

On the new beta site they have replacement earpads listed for $80, the travel case for $75 and of course the newest ADZ-5 cable for $80.
