Hey Head-fi! I'm very happy to report my experience, with one of our proud Head-fi sponsors, DXC Store, in Culver City, CA! I ordered my LCD-2 headphones from them, and they got them to me very quickly! Because they are a direct dealer for Audez'e, they are able to get shipments for the LCD-2 quicker than if you were to pre-order through the website. If you are a Southern California resident, or California resident at all, and are trying to order LCD-2's, don't even bother going through the Audez'e website, GO TO DXC Store, they'll get you them in a much better timeframe.
First off, the store itself, is great! It's a head-fi'ers dream store... I've never seen so many headphone brands & models on hand, and available for audition! They had all the high-end models: HD800, Beyer T1, Ultrasone Edition 8's and LCD-2's, down to almost any lower end model you can think of, there in the store, and ready to be auditioned!
And it's not just full-size headphones, they had just as good a selection for In-Ear monitors as well, and all the accessories you can imagine, for both Full-size and IEM's, on hand. For anyone who can't stand having to wait for some replacement ear pads, or comply foam tips, they've got em!
Store owner, Hong, and his employee, Marcelino, were both awesome. They never made me feel annoying, even though I called EVERYDAY this week to check up on the LCD-2 shipment.
As far as the LCD-2... I've never been this happy with a purchase, in almost any hobby I'm into. Other than, MAYBE, my Pioneer Elite Kuro... But that was a very rare and memorable situation anyways... (I paid nowhere near retail price)
The sound of the LCD-2 is so life-like, it's unlike anything I've heard yet. I don't want to start any arguments over which headphones I think they sound better than, but at their price point, and ability to stand up to, if not surpass much more expensive headphones, they're definitely a tough one to pass up. Other than it's wonderful sound, build quality is excellent, and the presentation (packaging, documentation, etc) is very convincing, that you've got a true treasure in your possession.
I've been having a great time with them since taking them home yesterday afternoon. I'm not having the same discomfort issues that some other members speak of, and I've had them on my head since 8 o'lock this morning... I also don't find the leather pads to be a problem either. I think they're pretty comfortable too, actually. I can't say though, that I disagree with other member's personal discomforts, because I can imagine with a smaller head/physical build the LCD-2 may be a bit too heavy. I have a huge head and am pretty well built, so I guess this might be why I'm not having those issues...
And to conclude, some pictures:
