- 1, I use 2 Bursons here (old Conductor and Virtuoso) with my LCD-3 f and I'm happy with both....

 

You have two Bursons, fantastic then you can listen in stereo 

 

Okay I will make sure I get your approval before I buy the next hifi gear as you seems to be concern about what I want to buy or not. Does it includes furniture as well, because I’m about to get me a new sofa

Concur. Found the Burson Conductor and the LCD-3's to be a good match. Cheers

 

So why are you selling yours Conductor?

-1, I have a Burson Soloist and loving it. But I haven't had any real experience with other popular amps. Just short listens.

Just continuing the trip on the audio-gear merry ground. Was an early backer of the Geek Pulse Infinity so am using that now. Also have a Cavalli LC coming, so have too much gear around and am cleaning out a bit. Cheers

Just got my new LCD-3, which would be very exciting except that I don't get any audio on the right channel with the stock single-ended cable.
 
It's the same on four different amps (Gustard H10, Sony UDA1, Schiit Magni 2U, Project Ember II) that all work fine with all my other headphones. If I pull out the plug 1-2mm so that it's not quite fully seated, everything sound fine - I get the correct right channel audio on the right-side driver. So the issue is with the spacing of the ring on the TRS connector.
 
But it's not just shoddy QC. Both channels work fine with the included 6.3mm to miniplug adapter. I haven't managed to turn up anything with a search other than that the right channel eventually starts to cut out with the stock cable, but this has been a problem for me right out of the box.
 
Any ideas? The adapter works for now, but it's not really an ideal long-term solution. Should I just ask Audeze for a replacement?

I would definitely get a replacement. No reason to accept an out of the box issue.

Sounds like a bad cable. Easy enough to get Audeze to replace. Cheers

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll go drop them a line right now. I am curious about the fact that the 6.3->3.5mm adapter works fine though. I guess it's just one of those things where the tolerances (or, lack thereof) just happen to match up.
 
But wow. Cable issues aside, the LCD-3 already sounds great.

Curiously enough, when I put my serial number (282 prefix) into their checker, it shows up as invalid. It's a brand new unit (August 31 manufacture) from an authorized dealer in the United States, so I'm pretty sure that it's (probably) not a counterfeit. I've inquired with them about that as well. Fun times.

Anyone get fatigue from how bright their LCD3's are? I'm thinking of switching to an LCD 2.

Try the Audioquest Nighthawks. Seriously, something about them gives like zero fatigue. I just happen to be selling my pair since I prefer the lcd3's.

I prefer the LCD 3's too in terms of audio - i actually like the design of it even though it looks so gaudy in pictures. In person it's much better.
 
I think the fatigue comes from the brightness and the clamping. Compared to the HD700 (which is probably the softest and most comfy headphones ive ever tried) the LCD 3 is like a dinosaur.

I just put on the LCD2's to see which one to keep. The highs are not as piercing on the LCD2's and this causes less fatigue. I have really good hearing so I think that's probably why.
 
Still deciding between which to keep - cost is not an issue.

Anyone use the Woo WA7 with the LCD 3? I'm not liking the combo too much. Maybe my expectations are too high...

Yeah, maybe I'm just spoiled already. I think it's a smooth combo, but something's missing....not sure I can explain in words.
 
I'll let the LCD3 burn in,
