Thanks Lohb! Yes, the screw must be tight on mine.
Fazor's positives: better 3D imaging and more detailed higher midrange/treble area.
Yea, I was surprised the LCD3(f) had imaging as good as or better than the HD800, the bass is, of course, far better as well. + LCD3 is easier to drive.
I was pretty disappointed when I heard the Fazor drivers as the first thing I heard was a reduction in volume of the sub-bass and its corresponding impact.
This comes with the territory though, a trade-off because of Fazor's positives: better 3D imaging and more detailed higher midrange/treble area.
So after fixing the fazor-touching-my-ear issue with some foam that Audeze provided, I'm now finding that the headband is becoming a problem when listening for anything over ~30 minutes. Does it subside as it breaks in? My LCD-2 that I bought used does not cause this issue at all.

I've had a similar issue when they were new (bought mine Jan. 2015), i.e. "hotspot" on top of your head. A proper setting of the yokes is also important, have you experimented with that? I wear mine for hours without any comfort issues.
There's also an alternative additional headband option by Lohb (search his posts on the forum) that can fix this.
Thanks. I already spent a half hour looking at the threads with no clear picture. Figured it would be kind and helpful with somebody who knows the answer could just answer.
- I believe only the very early LCD3 models suffered from the veil issue and it has long since been fixed. I would bet very few "veiled" pairs are still around, so that should be a non-issue.
- I also believe that Audeze is no longer offering the Fazor upgrade because there was a lack of interest in the service. Though I'd also bet if you called/emailed them they might work with you.
Could be wrong on both of those, but that was the status of these issues last I recall.
