They are definitely getting harder to find.. Many simply refuse to sell their 4s since you may not get a good chance of buying another clean pair. Took me months of frequently checking the classifieds before I lucked out. I hope I never have to sell them.
The 200 ohm version works better with tube amps. Which I prefer with them.Not necessarily.I know I don’t plan to sell mine.
Hello, my 2 cents, I think lcd4 is unique cans , they sound like no other headphones , I had a lot of different ones and in the end decided to keep lcd 4, abyss1266tc and Susvara
Wow, all three are amazing headphones. What a lineup. How do you choose which one to listen to? Ha ha
I don't deny that the LCD 4 isn't anything special. On the contrary, it was the headphone I wanted the most next to the Diana V2. Over time I have learned in this Hobby that, in addition to a good Dac, it is important to me to have several sound experiences rather than just one. So now I've got the Hifiman Arya V2 for $800 (for layering, big and "high" sound) and then the LCD4 for fun and bass. I think at this high level of sound quality I can do without a few percent that even more expensive headphones create. Especially since I have now learned from the review by Goldensound that the Arya V2 is even better in some areas than the Hifiman HE 1000V2, which is twice as expensive
I tell you frankly, this days l I don’t use a lot lcd4 , but all the time when I come back to them I have big WOW effect, lcd4 probably have warmest and darkest sound signature , at least in my opinion
I had Aria and I remember my thoughts was, If I started hobbie with Aria I probably just keep them and enjoy the music, Aria for that money probably the best choice , I think Aria better than other ones with price tag twice more , but unfortunately my experience was very different, I started with cans for couple hundreds and same price for amp with dac
I love the LCD-4 as well, but mostly gravitate to the RAAL SR1A. For me, it has absolutely zero fatigue and the sound.. with the exception of bass, I'd say it has very few weaknesses.
I think there are advantages if the drivers are designed like the Arya. You get a different sense of space. And that, paired with the qualities that the Arya brings with it in terms of sound quality, they are special headphones. Especially since it is very detailed from my memory and still staggers the sound. He simply shows what kind of information is in such a song without sounding boring and dry. Unfortunately, I haven't heard the LCD 4 yet, but I think that it can be the most fun headphone I've heard so far, especially with EQ
Hmmm, this is the set i bought. If it is sensitive to air pressure changes, i guess the plane ride here killed the drivers as i got them dead. On its way to factory for new replacements.
Wow, that's seriously disappointing. My condolences. Were those the ones advertised as being from Japan?
Yes they were. On its way for repairs now. Audeze did say the pair went in for works in 2017 so my guess is that would have been for a switch out to the 200ohms.
Well, my review of the HEK v2 vs the Arya 1 and 2, is that neither is as good. They are more brash, but more fatiguing.
