I have seen lots and lots of Hifiman drivers/diaphragms (since you could see it clear as day just with taking off the earpads or back grills) but never any LCD2/3 drivers or diaphragms. Tyll over at IF did a video about planar mag drivers and he did have a taken-out LCD2 driver but can't see any of the diaphragm details.

When my LCD2.2's had to go back for a blown driver they were there when the 3's were announced.  I inquired about having 3 drivers to replace mine(I mean they were there right?) and was told it would be "impossible".  Had to ask.

just received my vegan bamboo lcd2 earlier this week.  i'm still putting them through their paces but the mids seem a bit more recessed than in the ones i tried out before :/

Did you tried them on the same system before? LCD-2 are very transparent to all components in the chain.

If it's a LCD2 rev 2 I would give it a week or so to burn in - I cant personally remember if the frequency response changed, but there definitely was a grain present when new that disappeared with burn in.  Both the rev1 and rev 2 I owned had relatively laid back mids in that they did not stand out in the mix - I think the LCD-2 you sent back for a blown driver may have been an exception rather than the norm

Wish I could get hold of a pair!
Been waiting 3 weeks and my source in the UK still has no confirmed delivery date... not his fault...
Very frustrating!

My LCD2 Rev 2 after burnin completely lost the treble spark they had and the mids were less prominent. It sounded better pre burnin.

 Why not? I know it's in stock at Holland and Sweden dealers atleast. How much does it cost in UK?

 

[MartinM]

Interesting!
Thanks for the information.
I'll pass it onto my source and see if he can get a pair from them may be.
Could buy direct I guess
Cheers

Well yes, I don't really understand what you mean by "source".
 
Soundconsult.nl has it right now for 1045€ (~850£) and you could even order it directly from Audeze (~995$+150$ + 25% customs = ~900£). Have you looked at Audeze pages for UK distributors and asked all of them for stock??

Really enjoying the LCD-2 r2 bamboos. I really like how the sound has some weight behind, I don't mean slow obviously. But it has heft.
 
What plugins effects are people using with there LCD's? Currently I'm enjoying dolby headphone in PowerDVD 12. I seem to prefer "small room model" setting. For an amp I'm using an objective 2 o2 amp from my x-fi external sound card. I really want to like foobar but for some reason it's sounds 'limited' to my ears. Winamp is buggy as anything...So yeah happy with the sound.

That's the best thing about this headphone.

I haven't tried any with LCD-2s, but compared to the HE-500s some time back, the "wrap-around" stage and forward projection of sounds on the LCD-2s is significant.  While it's not the same as a natural crossfeed, it's still good enough to forego the use of x-feed & room simulation plug-ins (for me).

It's a matter of output mode! Direct Stream, Kernel Streaming, WASAPI, and ASIO sound very different. Try each of them (available on the foobar2000's site). I think audezes deserve an optimized for them good player as foobar2000.

Your right! Wow I was using "Primary sound driver" now I'm using wasapi and it's all good. Thanks. I love the simplicity without any bugs and the variety of components or plugins you can use.
