Ok so a few hours in. I'm blown away. NOTHING like past Audeze. They make my Arya sound thin and muddy. The timbre and clarity are perfect. Favorite headphones by far. The details are mind-blowing. The soundstage is exactly what I've been looking for in terms of not a concert hall but I'm in a large room with the band. Fantastic separation. Smooth across the hz range. The tonality of the Bass blows me away especially on In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. I'm hearing bass tones I have never heard before(which is especially great as a drummer considering i've already googled about which kick drum/drum head Phil used in the performance) I greatly prefer these to my friend's Susvara.

They are more "susvara sounding" than past Audeze cans.

I have things to get done tonight but I cannot take these off.

Not a direct LCD5 update, but those following my shipping drama, the Schiit Gungir 2 I sent in for a USB upgrade finally arrived today after a week delay at the FedEx facility. I had it upgraded to the Unison USB board. HOLY SMOKES with my og LCD-2’s the difference is SO clear. Detail, Clarity, Soundstage all improved. It also allowed me to remove the Wyrd dejitterer from my chain, since Unison handles all that.

LCD5’s still stranded at the same facility but hope tomorrow or Thursday will bring good news..

Hope so man : )

I found out I just missed out on the first headphones.com batch shipment, so ETA is undetermined currently. Hoping for before november, but you never know in this day and age (not complaining, just an observation):)

Good to see that's back in stock, it was unavailable everywhere a few weeks ago. That led me to look around for a different one and now my favorite is the Woo Audio HPS-T since it's considerably taller (if you set it up that way), leaving more room for stiff cables to stick out. But the Perch is gentler on the headband since it slopes off less abruptly at the edges.

That’s actually what I’ve got now. Been pretty happy tbh.

I'm using the Silverstone double headphone stand. The base is a single chunk of metal, heavy enough to make sure my previous LCD-4 wouldn't topple it over.

Yes, and for me that is the Room's audio line stand..😊 But not widely available outside Europe I believe.
