Hi all,
 
 
Need help on buying the suspension strap but I'm worried that I will have to buy the yoke extenders.
 
I currently have my pair at only 2 clicks up from the bottom - will I be cool?

Also any news on audeze releasing their own suspension strap?

you should be fine. that is a pretty small setting.
 
No official word on alternative suspension straps from Audeze. Only got a glimpse of that design on a prototype LCD-Z which recently has not have any new news or new rumors on that product. Basically, I would not hold my breathe on that.

Thanks for the reply mate.
 
What setting do or did you have yours at before you got the strap? I vary between 2 and 3 notches. If it were 3 do you think it would still be fine?

Wow glad the LCD-X has progressed so far. I am very intrigued by the LCD-Z.

Thanks mate. I wouldn't go beyond 3 so if that matches up I'm down!
 
Never had an issue with these before but after having used my 846's for a couple of months it's become an effort to deal with the weight again.

Anyone know if the LCD Z is aiming to just upgrade comfort or are they playing with the sound signature as well?

the LCD-Z is supposed to be aimed at a completely different target audience with an extremely extremely high impedance (1200ohms iirc) for pairing with OTL tube amplifiers. Initial rumors had it slotted under the LCD-3 in price point, but with the new influx of pricey planar magnetics, I am thinking that Audeze will also be raising prices in future releases. Their products usually target the upper tier of the high-end market.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the LCD-Z priced above the LCD-3.

Anyway, my Audeze leather conditioner arrived today. Gotta try it out later.

I just returned home from some business travel and found the family already asleep. So I fired up the WA22 and put on the LCD-Xs. What a different experience from listening to an iPhone + Westone W40s on a plane.

I just got my pair of LCD-X last week and have been breaking them in all weekend. I have them in my iMac 5k Roon > McIntosh D150 > WA22 > Black Dragon balanced LCD-X chain and they sound fantastic. I tried them quite a bit at an get together in Orlando and liked them then on my Wa7d / WAtp and iPad combo but in my main system they sound even better.

I was able to compare them with some great headphones, HD800, LCD-2, Fostex TH900, McIntosh MHP1000 and others and I liked these better.
