I got my LCD-2's in the mail yesterday and out of curiosity today I decided to measure the impedance of the headphones. Turns out the right channel measures at ~43.2 Ohms and the left channel measures at ~47.8 Ohms...interesting. I haven't seemed to notice any channel level imbalances when listening so far, however.
Any thoughts?
Note: These measurements were taken with an Amprobe 5XP-A multimeter using the Silver Dragon V3 cable. With the stock cable I get measurements of ~42.8 Ohms for the right channel and ~47.4 Ohms for the left channel.
They're supposed to be rated at 50 ohms, so on the WA6SE, they definitely should be plugged into the low impedance jack, right? I tried them briefly in the high impedance jack last night, and for a minute I thought I was getting more volume at 9 o'clock than from the same position on the low side; it seemed that there might have been more bass, too--but, later, after plugging them back into the low side, it seemed about the same to me, so it must have just been my ears at the time.
Somewhere I read what the impedance guidelines were for the Woo WA6SE, as far as what should be plugged in to the low or high side, but I can't seem to find those numbers anymore.
