Just started wearing my replacement LCD-3's after a couple week burning-in. The leather ear pads are a bit warm for summer. So I ordered the microfiber suede.
One question, how does one remove the leather ear pads without tearing them?
The video makes it look easy. I tried to remove the leather ear pads that way, but they started to tear. The leather is stuck to the adhesive. So I'll have to find a way to get underneath the sticky stuff. Maybe it works better lifting them from inside the ear cup ?

Violectric V200 is a great amp for the price. Some people believe it is the best amp for < $2,500. There is a long and active thread on Head-Fi. Plenty come up used for around $650. They make a good DAC to match that but I forgot the model #. I'd look into Schitt tube amps as well.
I like my Meier Corda Classic amp ($600-700) but for a $100+ more the Yulong Sabre A18 blew me away at a recent meet. Very musical and nicely detailed.

Whats interesting is the a18 doenst appear to be a current model on their website. There is an a28 which is fully balanced and a couple hundred cheaper. A18 still available on ebay though
In case anyone is researching both headphones ...I dont know how some say the LCD-3 and LCD-X are close or a tossup. LCD-3 is clearly better. It is more detailed and polished while being more relaxed. X is a bit brighter and thumpier than the 3, but the character and texture of the 3 makes it more engaging. As i have seen some reference the 3's "magical mids", the sound is more shaped and 3 dimensional to me. The X is definitely more neutral and clinical and doesnt pity poorly mastered files. So if the angle is to use them in the studio, then they make sense there. Definitely glad i upgraded to the 3. And im only using a $300 amp/dac combo.

I'm a/bing both right now. I do agree with you that the 3's win on clarity but in almost ever other aspect the X's are kicking butt on musicality and funness to listen to. So far have listened to turn blue black keys, jack white lazaretto, and fuggees the score. All 3 albums I favor the X's.
I anticipate the 3's will win when I get to Muddy waters, Dave Matthews, and Allison Krauss.
The right mini xlr connector just died on my LCD3F, drops in and out.
It is 15 months old. Anyone know if it's 3 years or 1 year warranty on the cable?
so my lcd-3 died for a second time in the first year...anyone else having my "luck"?
How bad can audeze QC be when something dies after 4 months of usage having the same issue as before the initial rma...

Interesting, wonder if our different amp gear has any effect. I have the lowly magni2/modi2 but these still sound amazing. Or if it just personal prefs! I will say the x hits harder. But i def prefer a warmer signature
