Hi there,
I bought my 3rd LCD-3, also the 2nd LCD-3f. I didn't notice sibilance on my first used 3f, I paired them with Oppo HA-1 and Hifiman EF-6. Then I sold HA-1 and LCD-3f, bought LCD-X and another pricier DAC, and on which I noticed some sibilances. Then I bought LCD-3c, also found subtle sibilances, less noticeable than X but existed. Finally I bought a pair of new LCD-3f. Still notice sibilances, more than 3c but less than X.
I don't know the reason, I could only give some guesses. Is it because I changed the DAC? Or because the new LCD-3f are not fully burnt in yet? Or just different pairs of 3f have different problems?
To make it clearer, when I listened to "Chandelier" by Sia, I found the vocal was just unbearable. Also the song "Sing" by Ed Sheeran, sibinlances annoyed my since the first sentence. If anyone have those songs would you please test them for me?
And if anyone know the answer to my problem, I will appreciate it!
Cheers!
