I got the LCD-R in yesterday (running off jot a only). I heard some people compare it to the susvara, and to me it's pretty different. LCD-R is much more "fun" and engaging. Can be pretty intimate but also has pretty good stage size. Susvara on the other hand is much more laid back and not as in your face. Susvara is easily more natural. This isn't to put the LCD-R down whatsoever (anyways the comparison is a bit incongruent anyhow), but rather to say that they do very different things in my opinion and I gravitate to either based on music and mood. I think I prefer the LCD-R over the LCD-4z, mostly for preferences (LCD-R being a lot more fun and engaging and has very nice bass slam). I haven't owned the lcd24 for sometime and don't have the LCD4 anymore, but if I could compare directly, I think LCD-R may be the one I would keep out LCD-4, LCD-24, LCD-4z and LCD-R.

Overall very nice headphone and absolutely stunning fwiw but between 1266tc/susvara, I will probably be letting the LCD-R go soon as tends to happen seemingly every headphone that is not mysphere or sr1a.
Do you still have the LCD-R’s and if so do you want to sell them?

Thank you so much for posting this. I purchased them from Lagadu and they are on their way. Thank you so much.

Congrats! They are great headphones.

For those that may be interested in the US, my old set is up for sale at The Music Room. They have them priced slightly high, but probably fair because of the rarity and their return/warranty service.

I've always wondered why they haven't done a second run of these. I mean, it makes mine more valuable if they don't, but they sound so good. I wish more people could hear them.

Awesome! Glad it worked out. I had a feeling you were working on closing the deal. Can’t wait to hear your impressions.

I offered them $2500 and they told me they would check in with you and then they said nope. Given the slight white marks which can be buffed out I figured it was a fair ask but they said the price stands. Good thing I ended up finding them in the EU within my budget.

Weird, they never reached out to me. I'm guessing they don't do that until listings have been up for a few weeks.🤷‍♂️ I'm glad you were able to find something.

Yeah you should speak to them. If they didn’t reach out they did you a disservice as I was ready to buy them. They categorically excluded a discount and I said maybe ask the seller and they said they did. Anyway GLWS Brother
