Updated the list to a new format. Secretive group it seems :spy::sunglasses:
Let me check the one I have and let you know when I can.

Having a headphone that's 1 of 70 where each one has a unique Lichtenstein pattern on it and it's an exotic driver type that Audeze has never made before or since was a lot of the appeal to me tbh. If they made a mass release I'd like it less :sweat_smile:

I bought mine mostly as a collector's item/art piece.

The exclusivity is awesome and one of the reasons I'll never get rid of mine, but I totally agree with the uniqueness of the driver and the Lichtenstein work. It is actually one of the best looking headphones I have ever seen (sorry ZMF).

I've been running the LCD-Rs with a Chord Qutest since I got them (~2 years now) and just flipped it out for a Holo Spring KTE. Holy smooth and wide details, Batman!

I also threw a Lokius into the mix and changed the source from a MacBook Pro to the iFi New Stream, but not all simultaneously. The iFi made very little difference vs. the laptop. However, it has made things much easier to sit back in the chair while sipping an adult beverage :beerchug:

The Lokius makes things more fun. The Holo totally blew me away!

Compared to the Qutest, the Holo opens the soundstage up and adds more detail to the bass. I've always felt my version of the Qutest is amazing in mids and treble. It shines more with a tube amp to open up the lower side. Nothing has been lost in the mids or highs switching to the Holo. It has all been additive - especially in the soundstage. I can't get over how much these cans have been opened up by it.

Is anyone opposed to the new 'table' I made for the list? Took a while to type it out :D
Looks good, much easier to read :beerchug:

Which page was that on? I wish we could pin specific posts to a thread. I am guessing that could end up being a mess with the rest of the forum.

From the Audeze website....

LCD Headphones

The Serial Number is on the barcode sticker on the cardboard box, the Certificate Of Authenticity that came with the headphones, and on the headphones in one of two places (depending on when they were made): inside the left adjustment block (near your ear when you're wearing them), or on a small sticker underneath the headband strap, off to one side and just above the adjustment block.
