I’d never trust the ones on YouTube. Last night I remembered there were some tone tests tracks on Tidal (on an album I used to program and verify my I2S pin outs) I used those those. 14k was as accurate as I’m going to get without seeing an audiologist

I have exactly the same TT2, LCD 5, and Meze copper and silver, the meze cable is much better than the one that comes with the LCD 5, I don't like the Audeze cable, I have it connected to my LCD 3.
LCD-5's copper cable is kind of dark sounding for me. Doesn't match Meze Elite as well as airy in treble area seems lacking. A linear and detail silver cable is way to go.

Same. Very unsettling and sorry to read. A good reminder to be more cautious in the future. I was able to hear up to 14.7k, over 15k if I raised the volume.
Very eye opening in how big a role this plays in the differences we hear. That difference in the 10k+ region is enough for me to realize if one is limited, this could change the perception of many aspects of certain qualities such as being bright or airy or not enough. This could tilt the profile of sound to me, leading me to believe if I was bothered by the effects of the higher frequencies, I imagine that lower volume would lead to lower sense of bass and why some prefer more a shelf and vice versa.

Thanks for the cable insights. Not quite ready to take the plunge on a pure silver cable as it's just too cost prohibitive at the moment in comparison to just a tweak of eq like my testing found.

Debating LCD5 or Utopia. I’m not really an EQ person, I hate the thought of doing it TBH. Is the LCD5 Ok without EQ, or am I better of with the play and forget Utopia ? Music is rock, pop, heavy metal , punk etc so very much a hard hitting and propulsive sound is a must….

It depends on who you ask. I thought it was ok. I am not a fan of stock though. If you're allergic to eq... might want to look elsewhere. Some really enjoy it stock. I believe it's all in how you hear.
Here are a couple reviews:
Looking back, even vsg28 measured darker in treble.
As jb77 ranked in his review, 6 stock and 9 with peq is how i'd rank them too. But, after convolution this is a 10 for me. I have no need or desire for any other headphone experience at the moment.

I agree with this. But here's my way of looking at it: you are spending thousands to get the best sound you can, so spending a little effort to set up EQ so that the headphone you get sounds much better than it would have otherwise is more than worth it. There's no reason to be afraid of EQ, it doesn't bite!
