Audeze LCD-2 Orthos
Mar 19, 2011 at 12:57 AM Post #10,276 of 18,459
I think I almost had a heart failure while checking my email today. The LCD2s shipped, through UPS. I thought Audeze was using Fedex? What changed?
 
Honestly, I would be more comfortable leaving these phones in a cage full of chimpanzees than in the hands of UPS. Their last delivery was thrown over a two meter fence, others arrived without any notification, just sitting outside in the rain for days. I don't even want to know what they are going to do the LCD2s.

I'd be wary of Fedex too. I used to work at Fedex Ground and I've got plenty of stories about abusive package handlers.
 
What shipping speed did you pick?

If you chose the travel case they can't be harmed

Red blanket looks great! I think I'm going to ask Audeze to ship mine with a yellow one, though. :)
 
On a sidenote, yes, that shipping case should handle the bump and grind of frisky courier firms.

I don't know what to say about their customer service.  I've received my order already but the company has never replied to all three of my previous emails.  I got the travel case as well.

I had the same experience. I think I did send them at least 3 emails and got 0 response.

that's the problem with a thread with many thousands of posts - it's easy to miss / hard to find some material that might interest you.

Just got back from Spring NYC meet, Lots of LCD-2s.  Briefly got to hear with Isabellina HPA, Woo Audio WA-22, WA-5, and Schiit Lyr.

Well, with a brief listen it is really hard to say what is what.  Plus the environment was tough sometimes with a open headphone, but I will say that I read a bunch that people did not like the synergy between the LCD-2 and the WA-5 and well I kinda liked it, but listening to a song really isn't enough, plus it was really nice to meet Jack and his father.  For budget amps though the Lyr seems to definitely a good value and sounded quite good, although again a song.  Lyr seemed to both my friend and I a little bit bright.  The WA-22 and the LCD-2 sounded real nice to me, but needed some more power, the amp had the 6080s in it so I would assume the 7236 and the 5998s will be a great help here.  The Isabellina is a little rough for me to guage, atleast for me.  I got to listen to 3 songs on it and chat with Vinne R.  I definitely thought it was a good amp.  Pretty much initial impressions are they are all good amps at the very least, making it harder for me to decide what else to buy if I want to buy anything more at all.  I would have loved to hear the Apex Peak/Volcano and the Leben combos, but I didn't see any there.
