I have a Liquid Carbon 2.0 which I bought close to the launch of the second round. This worked perfectly until i was listening during a pretty gentle rain shower and the power flickered of and on a few times and then stayed off. I unplugged my equipment and after the power came back on there was a channel imbalance which was pretty notable/distracting. I emailed Cavalli and explained to them what happened (it was essentially my fault due to the power fluctuation) but they repaired it free of charge. Took about 10 days and I had my amp back. It has worked flawlessly since then. In my living room I have my Yggy/Rag/Dragon Inspire tube amp with Utopia which I love, but in my office (where I do a lot of work) I have a Modi multibit feeding my liquid carbon which powers my Aeon Flow open. this setup is just lovely and I enjoy listening to it so much. I think why people continue to spend money to repair this amp is that it truly has a beautiful sound. It is slightly warm like a tube amp but has the base and power of SS. I hope mine lasts for a long time!

I had a similar breakdown and repair just after I got my LC2. Repaired and returned in about 10 days and it has worked flawlessly ever since. I listen to it a lot in my office where I have a Bifrost multibit feeding the LC into my Focal Elear. The Cavalli house sound is something I really love.

I have a channel imbalance (almost no output on left side) on my SE output. I sent it in for repair and they couldn't find a problem. I only turn it on once or twice a week (it's in my office) and the problem may only show up when the amp is cold. I

The left channel on my SE is dead as well. And on balanced, the left channel is not as loud as the right (at least, it’s very noticeably softer when I first turn it on). I doubt this is worth fixing especially since Massdrop is selling LCXs which will presumably sound the same.

My left channel on SE seems dead when the amp is cold. I sent it in for repair, but they couldn't find a problem. I assume that they only tested it when it had been on for a while. It's not really an issue for me, since I use balanced headphone almost exclusively.

A Gustard H10 is a better amp than the LC 2.0.

Mine is like that. It has to be warmed up before using it.

Anyone know how many V1 and V2 of the liquied carbon were made?

I thought it was time for a new update. My Cavalli LC2 has never been turned off since Nov 2016, and sounds great. Same with my Bifrost.

JRiver/Schiit Multi-Bit Bifrost/Cavalli LC 2 XLR Output/Focal Elear Headphones. I'm still loving it

My LC2 sometimes is full volume when turned on from cold. Any ideas? I might leave it on indefinite with a power supply backing the power up. Love to hear your guys thoughts.
