Not to sound (too) dumb, but where is the serial number? Back of the Jot-A?

I believe it is the last two numbers on the authenticity card that came inside the headphone carrying case.

Even better, they just tune it better out of the box :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:. I think the LCD-4, for example, is a very capable headphone, but you have to EQ the crap out of it to get it sounding right--even the reveal plugin doesn't help much.

For me, the Reveal plugin (as implemented in Roon) is just about perfect for the LCD-4. I'm looking forward to hearing their EQ for the LCD-R.

Apparently they were all serialized as I have #68.

Now, if only it would have been one number higher... :wink:

#15 reporting in.

Also have another LCD-R coming in as it is THAT good.

I contemplated getting a second one to run off of a HE adapter and my speaker amp, but decided against it

#13 reporting.

That’s precisely what I am doing, however, I must change the resistors in the HE box as there is too much resistance and the noise floor is high.

Still sounds so much more dynamic this way, and noise floor is only apparent in silent passages.

Huh? I thought mine was #13, lol. I only took a quick glance at the card when I first got the LCDr's. Will need to check again. I remember the first two numbers being 13 followed by 0's.

Btw, I hope they do a wider release. If audeze can get same sound quality to work with universal amps, I think the lcd-5 moniker would be fitting. The tonality of these are really special, and worth the fazor ear pain!

edit: Mine is "13000." Not sure if that means mine is 00 or 13000! haha.

It’s the last two numbers

I have started using multiple EQs added on top of each other, depending on the music I'm listening to.

On the RME Adi 2 FS I have a 6 DB bass shelf starting at 125 hz, and a 5db increase at 4.7khz. I don't recall what Q setting I settled on.

I also use EQ APO as a software EQ on top of that. I have several different profiles for the LCD-R. Some are just extra bass boost, some have different mid and treble alterations.

I've found that I'm happy with minimal EQ changes with these headphones. I couldn't say the same about other Audeze headphones.
I ended up going with a bass shelf at 100hz via Roon's parametric EQ. I felt like 125hz bled a little bit into the mid bass, mids a bit too much for me.

I am really happy that increase in sub bass. It really brings back that audeze bass and works a lot better than the built-in Jot-A bass lever. Thanks for your recommendation on the bass shelf!

These headphones are pretty special. They love EQ, and I can imagine that they play very well with other amps.
