Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a pair of LCD-2s and I have a couple questions:
First, I've seen a couple people talking about the wood cracking on these. I'm wondering how many people have had this problem. More importantly, does the wood have anything to do with the sound of the cans? If I buy them and they crack after going out of warranty, am I going to be holding a pair of $1000 paper weights?
Second, and I know there is a thread dedicated to selecting an amp for these so I apologize if this is inappropriate, but I'm trying to figure out which dac and amp to pair with them. I'd say my budget for the dac and amp together is definitely under $1000, but preferably lower. I'm looking at the ODAC and O2 combo, but I want to make sure I'm not skimping too much. Part of the issue I'm having is I'd really rather not have to deal with tubes, so many amps are out.
Anyway, thanks for any help you can offer.
