The pads softens a bit with use, this could maybe perhaps change the sound sligthly.

That is your opinion. I heard a difference in cable burn in as I do when I burn in any speaker cable. The sound stage becomes more defined and there is better focus.IMO on every cable I have ever used.
I agree with you. Every person has a right to "their" opinion. Mine is that I do hear a difference and noted this long before I used to read about "burn-in" back in the 90's. The more I read and heard, the more I learned as the reason why. There are white papers on this and many manufactures describe it, not hoping you will adjust to their cable, but to let the purchaser better understand that there may be changes. If you hear none fine, but no one should tell someone they will or won't hear a difference.
Well - I have just played my first track on my new LCD-2.
The detail retrieval on the higher end is definately missing compared to my DACport/other hp and also to a variety of speakers I use. I am using a reference track with typed notes on specific instruments to listen out for at ten points in the track times (eg listen for snare at 1:03).
So I am going to start the burn in process and expect things will improve. Have to say the stock cable is a tad stiff/heavy so I hope it will loosen up as well.

I've searched all around and can't find much on breaking in the LCD-2. Could someone point me in the right direction?
I did find that someone quoted the manufacturer as saying they didn't require break in when reading a review.
Just got the phones...Definitely a step up from my D7000 in many ways.
Personally I havent noticed much of a change in my LCD2's in the 5 weeks I have had them
Hey Austin how long did it take to get your LCD-2's from the time you got on the list? Nice to hear you like them better than the Denons D7000's. The Denons are my go-to phone atm.
Ouch, that is a long wait time...Should make it that much more worth it though, if they're really that good. I just put my pre-order in today...the wait begins

Yep, it's a wait. BUT, boy are they worth it. Once you get your pair, you won't look back. And you won't regret the wait either. The cans are special.
How long a wait did you experience?...

Well, to be honest, I didn't wait long at all. They came in for review (now posted at www.theaudiobeat.com). And thus far they've shown no indication of wanting to leave.

Thanks, neat review. Makes the wait all that much more difficult
