Hi sokolov91. The LCD-2 was recabled and plugged into Duckman's beautiful new Leben. I listened to the same jazz track on all of the headphones that I tried yesterday, which included a couple of electrostats and an RS1!
I enjoyed the LCD-2's relaxed presentation; the absence of harshness and forced treble brightness. Nothing sounded tonally off about it to me but for what it's worth, I do suspect that cymbals were toned down a little more than what I'm used to hearing on my own headphones, home stereo system and in "real life". But I'm already relying on aural memory here, which is notoriously unreliable.
Unfortunately, I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to try the LCD-2 again. Suffice to say, I liked what I heard and can understand why people rate it so highly. I intend to have another audition of an HD800 and a stax rig hopefully next week.
