I waited for over 7 months for my first run Carbon so not to much of a wait but well worth it.

When I got my HD6XX's I waited 4 to 5 months.

I was on the first run of those too and had the same wait time. Not my favorite with the Carbon though.

I am hoping that I like the Carbon WAY more than I liked the HD6XX's.

I think the 6xx’s are more amp dependent than the 800’s for me. The 6xx’s and a Bottlehead Crack is just something else though it is like they are made for each other and the mids are just awesome and I don’t use that lightly.

While I haven't heard a LCX I've been lucky to have used a friends Liquid Carbon ver1 for a few months and its one of the better SS amps that I've tried, one of the few that was decent with my HD800 and HE560.

But weren't the original ones much higher quality than the MassDrop versions?

i know a number of people who had issues with the original carbon and had to send them back for warranty. im not 100% sure but i think i remember reading of other issues also with that original run. one of my lcx is one of the original run and one is from the second run no issues with either one.

So you think the original was inferior?

 

[Th3Drizzl3]

no i wouldnt use the term inferior at all. but the cost difference was kind of ridiculous for the overall difference in sound. so after listening closely and at the time knowing how much i could sell the original one for i kept the massdrop unit.

Fair enough.

i wonder if they are discontinuing this model with this kind of price drop it makes me wonder. unless this is just temporary. i may regret selling my extra one lol.

I think they are just looking to up the numbers during the summer lull. They had a sale on the 6XX's recently.
Prime Days might become a thing for more and more retailers. It's a LONG time 'till Black Friday/Christmas.

Well would not give them too much grief as the original was well before the Drop version . Actually more pissed about the Spark as was waiting for it as a portable amp and the prototype was just so sweet but just didn’t make it and the Spark is pretty close but would love to have it as a portable amp it was just so nice.

 

[Th3Drizzl3]

yup the spark was one i wanted to pick up.
