The LCD-X handles this track like a Boss

Are the pads easy to swap? Can we switch between vegan and leather as and when required easily?

From what I gather, the pads you received your LCD-X's with are stuck down with a double sided type tape which allows the original pads to be removed by carefully peeling them off and applying new ones (also with double sided tape application), which negates the ease of swapping back and forth frequently.

Guys, I need a balanced cable to plug my X into my Taurus - that will require a 4-pin male XLR connector, but that doesnt seem to be a common connector. Budget is up to 500USD. Anyone ?

Isn't this the default Audeze cable connector ?

scrub that - apols to all - must have completely ignored both cable and adapter.

Anyone else noticed the new images on the Audeze Facebook site?

Looks like either a special edition or a new model

You got a picture? I didn't see anything new

 

[isquirrel]

Pictures here, wonder what this is?

LCD 4.0, or battery farming of Audeze?

It looks like a batch of LCD2s (Bamboo and Rosewood)

Yeah just looks like a production batch of Audeze headphones, don't see anything that would signify a LCD-4, nor do I think they would just throw a picture on facebook and call that an announcement either.

This month's issue of The Absolute Sound has a very good review of LCD-X. Reviewer says there is only 4 top headphones today, and the LCD-X is his favorite over Sennheiser HD800, Stax SR009 and LCD-3c.

The picture shows an LCD-X with silver enclosure and black grills.

Just reading it now, agreed a glowing report on the LCD-X from no less than Arnie Nudell himself. Interesting he makes the following points
 
"It would be nice if Audeze could introduce a gentle boost between 1.5kHz to about 3.5kHz of about 1dB. This is really not much of a change, but it would endow the headphones with a little more openness in this sonic range. The second suggestion would be to decrease the mass per unit area of the diaphragm so that it would then have even higher resolution. This could be done fairly easily by increasing the impedance of the LCD-X a small amount, to perhaps 35 or 40 ohms from the current 20 ohms."
 
He also says that since the review Audeze introduced the Fazor technology into the LCD-2 & 3, wonder how they measure differently in relation to the above?

I would agree with Arnie...but it's a minor quibble.  The LCD-Xs have to be the less fatiguing headphones I've ever heard...They are so warm and mellow-sounding, but still the treble is there in all its non-fatiguing glory.  Soundstage could be a tad bigger, though, which is why I have the HD-800s when I crave for the friendly confines of the cavern.
