How do you like the lcd 2 classics? I just got a Mimby Jotunheim stack and wanted to upgrade to a nicer planar HP from my 4XX to the lcd 2C and that idea got crushed in the Ananda thread about the classics having very little detail not good imaging and weak treble lol.

I don’t want something super analytical or dry and boring but I also don’t want something crazy colored sound which completely colors the sound either[/QUOTE

I prefer HD600 to HD660s. Sometimes, there are cans that have great bass quality, but lack quantity (HD600, HD800, even LCD-2C). This is where my Loki stands by whenever he is required.

How would one connect a Loki to an Audio-Gd NFB-28.38?

If you are using it as both dac and amp, you can't. I always separate my dac and amp.

Has anyone changed pads to LCD2C? I love the headphones but I am not a huge fan of the seal that the stock pleather pads give.
Would Audeze Lambskin pads, ZMF Eikon lambskin or ZMF Auteur Lambskin help with this issue at all? If I buy the Audeze pads, do they come with the adhesive rings or do I need to buy them separately?

I've seen some good things about swapping to Vegan/Velour pads, but it changes the frequency response a bit.

To the better, I heard.

I've been looking at maybe getting a used pair of the Sony Z1R but after having a chance to listen to the LCD-2C I think they might be my next headphone. I've been wanting a good headphone with more bass but not at the sacrifice of overall clarity and the LCD-2C hit the mark, that bass is intoxicating. Since I listen to quite a bit of electronic music these seem like a great headphone to get.

If you want EQ, it will need to be in software.

Heard a lot of good things about Z1R. Saw an used Z1R on sale and went to audition them twice. They are good but not good enough for me to pull the trigger. IMO, not much of an upgrade to my LCD2C.

I definitely preferred 2C. I also auditioned when it first came out. Didn't like it.

So my liquid carbon is on my way from the states.I see that it has balanced output.I have always used original cables with my headphones.What is the advantages of using an balanced one? Does audeze sell balanced cables? Or is there any other companies with good cables for audeze lc2c and a affordable price?

Some good reads here:

I use these cheap balanced cables for my LCD2C:

Bought the same cable for my Senn HD650 too. So far doing its job well enough for me.

I'm not expecting the LCD-2C to be an upgrade over my Elear just something different. I like my Nighthawk which has good bass but it can sound a bit dull at times because of how warm and dark they can sound. The LCD-2C seems like a good sweet spot between my Elear and NH.

To my ears with my music the 2C pretty much killed both the Elear and Nighthawk. I liked the Nighthawk, didn't really like the Elear.
