Just got my LCD-2's in. The Rev. 2 Bamboo. I'm looking at the Frequency Response Chart and there's no trough between the 5k and 10k hump...the treble response is surprisingly high compared to what I see on Rosewood LCD-2 Rev. 2...it's surprising and very interesting. I'll post a pic tomorrow

My left phone connector just broke
Pretty low quality these default cables.. Just ordered some white cloth vintage wire and connectors for about 35€, I'll be making my own after looking at the prices of aftermarket ones ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

oh .. this news made me underwhelmed for my LCD-2 rev.2 Bamboo !! one is complaining about the added treble and one's complaining about the build quality ... ! I really hope the sound didn't change much
( i'm kinda regretting passing on the he-500, but i'm optimistic that i made the right choice with the LCD-2 )

I've made a thread for LCD-2/3 graphs because of the big differences in FR response of the audezes. I also felt a strange hump in the lower treble of my pair. The cure for this and for some other issues of my pair were the burn-in and a new cable.

BUT the more important is that the measurements for these graphs are not made with the cables we find in the boxes of our headphones. And these cables do have significant influence on our LCD-2/3, i.e. what we hear is no what we see on the graph.

Not all aftermarket LCD-2 cables are that expensive. If anything just buy an IEM cable, then terminate it to Mini-XLR in the worst case scenario.

He is a very nice gentleman and I'd recommend his cable, Toxic, or Double Helix depending on which one makes you happy aesthetically.

Interesting claim. So what cable does Audeze use to take FR measurements to send to all their customers?
EDIT: If changing the cable altered the measurable FR of a headphone, why is there a cable debate?

I don't know, but I doubt they connect every pair with its cable and then separate them before boxing

I have never seen different cables result in measurable differences in any of my frequency response or waterfall plots. I am not saying that they don't make a difference.
Going from an annoying FR curve to pleasant does seem to be a very significant change.

I'd like to see Tyll do that with one of his measurements on the LCD-2. Specifically with a few different cables.
Not saying that you did it wrong, just like to see what Tyll would think of it.

This seems to be the key theme.

It's been done many times by many people on many HPs and cables. If there is a measurable difference, it does not show up in FR, looking elsewhere would be wise.
I don't know
