I will probably wind up going down the Mjo Yggy route. Even "theking" is a similar hybrid design. It would be cool to see Rag 2 with a switchable tube option, or maybe they'll get that square distortion emulation they've been talking about working.

Jotunheim will not push lcd4 well enough.

The sound quality of the jot into the LCD isn't that good. So either it's the 600$ amp or the 4000$ headphones. Take you pick

You're entitled to your opinion, even if its wrong.

Any of you use Roon and the audeze plugin? What do you think?

 

[dmitrys10]

Dmitrys do you tend to prefer the tube distortion in general or just with these cans. I would figure the overall sound profile would be similar to the lyr with more power.

Tubes give me the ability to get a different sound so that I don't force myself into upgrades every now and then.
I have SS tubes for Mjolnir2 as well, but for some reason (sound signature) I always get back to Siemens 6922 NOS.
Plus at night tubes give you that magical glow which makes you relax

By the way, different tubes made my LCDs sound very different. I have no preference (tube vs SS), I prefer the music I can enjoy and different tubes give me a different VIEW and experience on the music. Plus they are built nice.

I have Headamp GSX MK2 (at work), which is an SS amp.

Thanks,
Dmitry

P.S. This is a Tube I'm enjoying a LOT: https://www.upscaleaudio.com/products/siemens-a-frame-e88cc-6922.

And you're entitled to your lack of real world experience with the two. Factual .. Or you have really poor taste in quality and base your (what you think as fact) on numbers. Go ahead and use that subpar dac and amp with your 4000$ headphones . Oh wait, you don't have those headphones but can afford the Jot. Lol

 

[manishex]

Hqplayer still better than Roon

 

[Roybenz]

How is it better? Havent tried it.

 

[tekprimehifi]

Any other solution for crossfeed and eq other than roon? I would love to have those features but another 500 bucks! I don't even have a digital library... i just use tidal.

I have both the Jot and the LCD-4 and LCD-3 as well Focal Utopia. Many hours spent listening to all of them separately and together. I like the Jot for electronic or EDM. But definitely prefer my WooAudio WA5LE for classic rock, pop, or basically any other type of music. I find the Jot a little to hard sounding with some music.

Finally received my LCD4's. Now for some head time. I'm preferring them with tubes over SS upon initial listen.

they new ?

the look like coco

 

[Audio-Phile]

That looks like ebony to me, Cocobolo is much more red in color.

Yes they are brand new with ebony wood. It could be the filter I used that's giving off the slight reddish tint

 

[eee1111]

I've seen a couple bad looking ebony ones in the wild (Imo) and that sure isn't one of them
