Anybody knows the approximate burn in time for the new ADZ-5 copper cable? I got mine coming in tomorrow

About 3,000 hours.

I'm kind of tempted to get the Fostex to play with in the meantime...I can get them for like $100 in Canada.

Audez'e is now offering a choice of travel case instead of the traditional wooden box. (Check: http://www.audeze.com/2011/02/lcd-2-travel-case/). Looks to be a bit more practical than the wooden box, though not as classy.
 
What do you guys think, is it worth choosing the travel case instead when my LCD-2s are ready?

Only you can make that decision ;p.  Just looks like a pelican case?

I think I'm going to ask to have mine shipped in the travel case. Simply because I live in the UK and have seen that Audeze don't secure the headphones in the wooden case. I wouldn't want mine to arrive damaged.
 
If you are going to use your phones out on location or travel with them frequently then the travel case is a sound option in my opinion. Of course it doesn't look as classy as the wooden box, but the phones are what matters most.

Damm..I wish I had read your post earlier. My LCD-2 is in transit as we speak. I would have requested for the plastic case if this was an option....what with carrying my LCD-2 being carried between recording sessions....lol....

I'm with you - I'm in the UK too and want mine coming over the water nice and snug. Plus they'll either be at home on their hook, or out travelling, in which case the plastic box looks like a great solution for keeping them safe and sound.

That made my day.

Yup, the travel case looks like a winner!!

Any idea on the price?

 

[jamato8]

The wood box is nice but is too big. I would go with the travel case in the heart beat and wish I had the option when I bought mine as it is, IMO, much, much more practical.

I would guess the right sized Pelican case or equivalent would be around the hundred USD mark, give or take.
 
Like the Pelican iM2100 or the 1400.

got the payment email too. Even the waiting has been enjoyable

i can't stop thinking about it....
 
About the previous discussion on W/U/A, i read somewhere that the 50ohm impedance (or any "official" impedance on a datasheet) is at 1000Hz. So this would mean very little, what we would need is a full spectrum impedance graph since it changes with the frequency considered. That would also explain why powerful amping is recquired to get the full frequency range unveiled, maybe...

The full spectrum impedance is 50 ohms, flat like a ruler.  The cans are a non inductive load.  Purely resistive.
