For those of you still bravely rocking the LCD-i4, after long searching, it took a friend @TimmyT916 (the tuning genius) who could measure it and create a new PEQ, to finally satisfy my belief that this headphone-ish iem still belongs in the top of the top!

Tim's LCDi4 PEQ is just awesome!!! I recently tested the Simphonio P0 planar IEM and said it had eclipsed the LCD-i4, which I'll stand by if only for ease of use as that is plug and play. But for the hearty among us, hanging onto our LCDi4s, we've always understood the need for a good EQ. Try Tim's PEQ for LCDi4 and you have something that's maybe even better than P0! Thank @TimmyT916 later 😂! %

I've attached a .txt file with Tim's PEQ that can be imported into the Poweramp player easily. Otherwise, here it is if you need to manually input.

Peamp: -14.5 dB
Filter 1: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 4.8 dB Q 2.000
Filter 2: ON PK Fc 37 Hz Gain 11.7 dB Q 0.500
Filter 3: ON PK Fc 100 Hz Gain 0.9 dB Q 1.300
Filter 4: ON PK Fc 1100 Hz Gain -4.4 dB Q 0.700
Filter 5: ON PK Fc 1200 Hz Gain 1.7 dB Q 2.000
Filter 6: ON PK Fc 1500 Hz Gain -4.3 dB Q 2.000
Filter 7: ON PK Fc 3700 Hz Gain 10.4 dB Q 0.800
Filter 8: ON PK Fc 5400 Hz Gain 8.5 dB Q 2.000
Filter 9: ON PK Fc 12000 Hz Gain 8.6 dB Q 2.000
Filter 10: ON PK Fc 15000 Hz Gain -5.7 dB Q 0.500

-14db pregain. Ouch

xD

Just tried it out, the end result sounds great! Too bad it requires such a great pregain. Used my desktop setup.

Is working great with my Sony WM1AM2. Just imported into poweramp!

+1
When I first got them it was a strange feeling I had inside. After some settling in and some EQ, the rest is history. Definitely endgame

With or without PB5 Osprey?
-14db…I might have to invest in a amp earlier than I’d like lol. I’ll give it a go with DC Elite.
Certainly more there with the PB5, but in high gain, the Sony can do it, barely.

I haven't. The LCDi4 were my only planar experience. But I shouldn't leave it at that. I should gety hands on the legendary lcd4. Or are the 2's and 3's any good?
