Anybody heard the LCD2 c or classic? Always wanted to buy the LCD2 but the weight of it put me off. Do not use the HE500 cans because of the weight.

My bad. Thanx for clarifying. These actually sound inticing and affordable. Just so happens there’s one up for sale in the classifieds.

Ha! Sold. Probably best since I wouldn’t be able to listen to them first and return if necessary.

BUT CHECK THE WARRANTY ON THESE - IF THERE IS ANY

Moon audio were selling factory returns or refurbished with a 2 year warranty that i bought. They were the only authorised retailer to do so.

new would be 5 year warranty i BELIEVE (but check)

Great punchy headphone. Lots of fun.

The bass crackling issue mentioned earlier appears to have mostly come up for some (the minority of) people when playing VERY bass heavy music VERY VERY loudly.

I have had no issues at all *touch wood
Focal say thats part of their design to protect the driver. Thats why i bought it and recommend to buy it from a reputable store with a warranty.

If the style suits you I think it’s a great and very well priced headphone at $700/$800 but at $1000 it’s only ok value

Good deal above. A note on buying used, the warranty isn't transferable, so I'd probably avoid used.

If the open box deal doesn't work out, Moon Audio have brand new for $799, and free shipping.

Warranty (install part only applies to car audio - the headphones get the full 3 year):
Focal America / Orca Design & Manufacturing supports their products and guarantees them to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 1 year (non-transferrable) from the date of purchase, if purchased from and authorized retailer. This time period is extended to 3 years (non-transferrable) from the date of purchase, if the product is purchased from and installed by an authorized retailer, and no alterations are made to the installation or setup of the product outside of the authorized retailer. The authorized dealer will then work with Focal America / Orca Design & Manufacturing to obtain service, if necessary.


Products bought from a non-authorized retailer do not carry the original Focal warranty. This means that if you buy from a non-authorized retailer and you encounter a problem with the product, you will have to go back to that retailer to get help and we cannot guarantee the quality of the assistance you will then receive.

This seller has a bunch of WE tubes but a lot of em have little or no getter flashing left, indication of heavy usage?

Few other BIN auctions too.

...I also listen at or about 82-85 db most times to get the most out of each HP.

Forgot to mention in my reply: For critical listening, I use that same average SPL level, which is not excessive at all, considering that acoustic instruments can go much higher than that. So, all my comments are based on that, with all my headphones having been initially evaluated on the same tracks at the same SPL.
No excessive stress testing done here to my ears or headphones! : )

As I was saying before, there’s nowhere In Phoenix metro area to check out anything real-time except for the entire Focal line at LMC audio. I also know the owner as we have a relationship as he attended our last Headfi meet. Maybe a discount in my future.

Now where did I put my emission rejuvenator?

 

[redrich2000]

6CG7: Valhalla 2 yes; Lyr 2 NO?

 

[rnros]

Correct. Heater requires 600mA.

 

[L0rdGwyn]

So those LM Ericsson 2C51 D getters did not sell. So what is a seller to do? Relist them at a higher price, of course!

Beware of these tubes..they...do something to people. Look at your own risk.

I offered 100 if he would close the auction, never heard back so I did not bid. Won't bid on the raised price either.

You’d think he’d lower the bidding price since it didn’t sell. Guess he thinks bumping the price up will make it more desirable? Like reverse supply and demand.

or he had an offer (like we sometimes get here in Australia to have no ebay fees on items sold (limited time) and then it goes back to 10% and hence that is reflected in the price

or perhaps ....................someone offered him $100 so he made that the starting price now

I offered him $100 but them found some gold pins so I passed.
