Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview

[Sonicus Supremus]

So irritating that I am waiting for mine from Audeze with no idea when they will even start building mine while other people are getting theirs immediately. And no, I am not going to tie up another $4500 buying from a dealer while Audeze is holding on to another $4500 of mine and taking their sweet time refunding me.

I bought mine from amazon and waiting for delivery tomorrow (3days since purchase).

I can almost see Jeff Bezos zipping around in a Blue Origin rocket dropping packages (he'll be careful with YOUR LCD-5!) all along the way!

Check out Crutchfields, the have next day delivery, and they have 2 pair at reduced costs (I believe $4000 and $3500), I'm pretty sure one pair is a return from a good friend of mine which I listened to for a few days. He wore the gloves so they are in perfect condition,,,

And just like that, it appears their sold.

must have been a last minute xmas gift for someone, they were listed for over 10 days...

I just saw the open box ($4185) and scratch and dent ($3500) 5 are still available at Crutchfield...............

Hello is there a comparison of lcd5 vs utopia or susvara?

Read. The. Thread. ***

Today I listened to the Meze Elite and Final D8000 Pro for like an hour, this last one was a pleasant surprise, amazing treble and solid mids, bass no as tight as the 5s but solid and a beautiful design, the Meze Elite I just couldn't heard anything to justify $4000 for this headphone, beautiful headphone tho, but just that in my opinion.

Tonight I spent the last 3 hours with a glass of whiskey and listening to the 5s, there is a playlist in Spotify called "Test Music Prime" I think is from a reviewer from youtube, I just can't skip any track the selection is awesome with headphones.

Cheers

I don't know if this comment, from @jlbrach, was made here or on another forum. To paraphrase: 'The last hp I listened to was my favotite!'
I know we both have the LCD-5, Sus and T+A P and I think he may be right. They are all very good and it is hard to call one 'the best' on any given day of listening.
Not a problem, just an observation.

Correct, I just looked and they are still available. Crutchfield has great customer service too...

Well I've finally been able to get the LCD-5 for a home demo. These seem to be what I've been waiting for

Ps : Sans EQ, already tried it.

Of course. I am ready to cancel my order.

This is like the 3d pair to enter the country since launch, first 2 were bought before they hit the showroom. So believe me, it's worse in Europe.
