I just got my Noir Hybrid cable for my LCD-2 today! Only took 10 days to get to Oregon from Warsaw, way faster than I was anticipating.
First, the sound of this thing... Wow. Audeze is really holding back their headphones with such a crappy cable. Everything sounds more balanced and open. I thought instrument separation and air was great before, but this cable really unlocked the inner detail of instruments. I think the one thing I didn't like about my headphones before was the slight veil that gets put on top of very quiet instruments and delicate details. The warm tonality typically washes some of that detail out. That is totally gone. There is no more hint of tubbyness. A deep bass line can be present right beside quiet horns and piano with no loss of detail, while the bass line still maintains that thick and fat sound that the LCD-2 is so loved for, it just doesn't edge everything else out.
Second, appearance, the pictures definitely do it justice, it's just as beautiful as was promised. It looks like the kind of headphone cable Darth Vader would own. I couldn't possibly love the look of it any more.
Well, now I feel like a real cable dork. I'm glad I don't plan on spending money on any other kinds of cables. My Blue Jeans interconnects sound the same or better than anything else I've heard.
