But do you know if LCD-2, 3 or 4 are equally "intense" in this way? It's like I enjoy them so much but after 20-30 minutes they become almost painful. The bass is so deep and coming off strong the rumble makes my ear uncomfortable and the treble makes it pretty hot.I initially didn't like my LCD-X. I thought the bass was weak and the top end harsh. I switched from the stock balanced cable to the Moon Audio Black Dragon. It wasn't much better. Then I went to the Cardas Clear Light and again, no real change. Then a year ago I decided to try my AXIOS Cu and BAM, it brought more bass to the party and tamed the top end. But I still wanted more. So my end game cable for the LCD-X is the DHC Complement C. Being an OCC copper cable the bass is now full and deep with great details. As for the top end it's now smooth and clean with zero harshness.I also did try my DHC Prion4 but when it's paired with my Sony NW-WM1Z it's too much. The soundstage is amazing but the there is too much details and is overwhelming and fatiguing. So the Prion4 stays with my MDR-Z1R where it's a perfect match.
So because the LCD-X is so analytical, cable rolling is required to find the best match for your source and musical tastes.
It's a love-hate relationship right now.
