  I know... But I'm wondering if I could get similar bass performance with a more polite treble.

 
I had the th-600 not the 900 but imo. the X is what you want for electronic. It is just too bad electronic fell off so much since Tiesto around 2001, I haven't found anything worthwhile since around 2008.

It all depends on who you ask, really.

Opuio's "On Your Side" ft. Russ Liquid is mixed real nice for my Audezes FWIW.

Yes! I had an some aha moments with these though a Chord Hugo TT . Periphery - Alpha sounded great. 65daysofstatic - Prism, Tool - Vicarious, ATRS - Operate, Get High, Nora Jones - Humble Me, Kings of Convenience - Home Sick, Vector Lovers - Piano Dust were some of my test tracks.

Anyway Cavalli Liquid Carbon amp, Chord 2qute DAC, Dragon cables, and an LCD-3F should be waiting under the tree this year. Also mini shout out to Drew Baird at Moon Audio for emailing back and forth this week answering various questions and through my purchase process.

@ Obsidyen if you want musical mids, great bass' and polite - non fatiguing treble you should demo the LCD-3f. FYI my demo session involved the LCD 2 3 X and HD800s. The X and 3s were my favorites. I liked the 3s for their volume scaling, imaging, and tonality just a bit better.

The HD800 and the 3's are my current combo but the 4 is very tempting.
 
I need to try them out at a meet at 4K they better be good

can anyone offer a comparison of the LCD-4 to the LCD-X? thanks 

 

[moopster]

^^
The 4 slams bass just as hard as the X and has deeper extension. The 4s sweet mids and treble make the X seem lacking. The 4 has a more expansive sound stage and music sounds particularly alive and natural.  The 4 is more refined and revealing and is a clear upgrade over the X (and a similar upgrade from the 3.) More comfortable too. Once you go LCD-4 you never go back.

How's the bass compare to early LCD-2 revisions? That' my favorite bass.

Thanks Moopster, will have to audition the LCD 4, cheers-

I've finally experience the dreaded driver failure with my LCD-3's after about 2 years of ownership. Just curious what the typical cost is for repair/replacement from anyone else who has experienced the same. I sent Audeze a repair request so I'm sure they will answer me soon but I was just curious. I also asked them about upgrading to the LCD-4 since I've been eyeballing it for a while, shame about the failure though, I've been a big Audeze fan but this really sucks.
 
Edit: I should add that I've packed all my other gear (HE1000, Ether C, Studio Six (Amp), Yggy (DAC) & Emotiva Speakers) because my wife and I are moving in 2 weeks. So all I had left was the LCD-3 and HA-1. That's why it really sucks, no music for 2 weeks!!!

The drivers have a three year warranty so other than shipping, the repair shouldn't cost you anything.

I have too got a driver failure after about less than a year with the LCD3... Very disappointing, They are on the way back to me, I had just to pay shipment to them.

Looks like we'll be waiting until next year for the carbon-fiber headbands to be sold independently, sigh.

 

[swjones3]

It looks like I have an LCD-4 driver failure guys

That sucks, you would think for $4thousand, The guys at Audeze could had reduced the fail rate. I hope Audeze treats you like gold.
