I visited Head-Fi a couple of nights ago and the
LCD-2 and treble thread caught my attention. The OP who was considering purchasing the LCD-2 but was concerned that its treble presentation might be too "laid-back". I had read the thread in it's entirety prior to posting. It was a feisty thread, containing some spirited exchanges between some Head-Fi'ers - nothing wrong with that as long as they're respectful.
So I posted my opinion based on my own listening experience with this headphone. My opinion was then belittled by a Head-Fi'er whose post was seconded by someone else. Both of these Head-Fi'ers are LCD-2 owners, who obviously don't brook comments that they perceive as being critical of its sound, no matter how reasonably they are expressed. That thread has now been locked, which is disappointing.
I've not read this thread because of its inordinate length but the fact that it remains open, gives me reason to think that we can share and discuss our experiences with this headphone including its merits and shortcomings. For the record, I described the treble presentation as "shelved down" (rather than rolled-off or recessed) based on my own listening experience but I was impressed with this headphone overall. I can appreciate why it has its enthusiastic supporters and its detractors - just like any other headphone really.
