Gratz, buddy!

 
I was wondering about that, thanks

now let's see what's to be done about the LCs  

 

[Colgin]

I wouldn't worry too much about some of the sporadic issues that have been popping up with some of the LC units.  We'll be making an announcement shortly that should address everyone's concerns.  

Will be interested to hear the announcement. A couple of things that come to mind though are extending the warranty beyond one year and also making the warranty transferable if the unit is sold to someone else, with the extended warranty being most important for us original buyers.

Alex Cavalli said that my LC has been fixed. He'll send it to me after he test it tomorrow.
 
Alex and Terry have been incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the process. This is the best customer service I've ever received from any company in my lifetime. The problem on my LC is unfortunate, but the way they handle it is really second to none. They just got themselves a life long customer.

That's good to hear ! 
 
I hope your baby will never have to go back to Alex again

I would suggest doing the burn in again. My board was replaced, so it made sense to. But even if only some parts, you will hopefully quickly discover if they go bad. Also, my experience was that it really improved between 100 and 200 hours. Specifically, smoother mids/highs and potentially tighter bass.

mine was unlistenable from the beginning,never got a chance to burn it in properly.....i believe my board is being replaced as well

My LC continues to function normally. no issues so far. About 200 hours on it total.

^^ Mine also. No trouble and no hum over SE. Very versatile and musical device.

my cable is back time to abuse the LC today >=)

Just to clarify, some hum on SE os normal? Both my phones are balanced and any future purchases I will add a balanced cable, but just want to make sure I have a fully working unit. I do hear a slight hum when volume is increased.

 

[MattTCG]

^^ Can't say for sure. I don't hear any hum single ended on hd650 or Ether. I don't have any sensitive iem phones though.

Just had a get together with friends and they had good things to say for the Gungnir MB/Liquid Carbon combo. So no issues here with my amp.

I hear hum at about 1 to 2 O'clock with my Ether on 3X gain with SE -- haven't tried balanced, but they are a sensitive headphone and that volume is far past listening levels IMO. Just tried my HD800 -- barely any hum at all, if you can even call it that. Full volume 3x gain with balanced cables.
 
I've had no issues with my Carbon at all though. I've probably used it for at least 4-5 hours a day since I've got it, some days over 10 hours. It does run really hot, though, I've actually wondered (jokingly) if the pins in my XLR cables might start to melt... LOL
 
@MattTCG, you have a pair of Ethers from memory. Do you hear a hum at 1-2 O'clock and 3x gain with nothing playing via SE?
