I've been asked politely and respectfully not to go there in the threads concerning that topic....

 
 
 
But I have had an experience with an $80 set of cans recently that has really made me reevaluate the sanity of spending even 1K on a pair of headphones let alone 2K.    Since the LCD-2's were my first pair of cans ever and pretty much the first ones I have ever used my experience with other cans is of course limited.  
 
 

 


 

True. But for me, it's a normal reaction that anyone would have on the street... because I did! 

  I understand the Markets (both as a consumer and a former NASD Rep). And I also understand some consumers will not care what prices are if it's something they want, need or desire. In this case, the name "Consumer" is not a coincidence.

  You need not worry about EMI sources just yet, it's really environmental and like running water, will vary... widely. Some will be immune and others will be plagued, no escaping one's environment. You'll know as soon as you strive for placement.
 
Computer monitors, TV monitors, Mobile devices, Wi-Fi Routers & Modems can all be a bit much for some tube amps. Which can also be impacted by how much metal is inside the room and where (think broadcasting). You'll likely be fine, my comments are being made for awareness purposes only.
 
Let us know how it went, best to you!

Thanks for the info fellas.  I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.  Sadly I am in the west coast atm and home is DC and I just got confirmation that it has been delivered!  I guess i'll be dreaming about it on the red-eye tonight

On the bright side, it's the weekend! I love taking deliveries just prior to the weekend. Nuthin' worse than getting some goodies on a Monday and you're too busy to pay it proper attention. Yet, you become distracted!

I hate you SilentOne, you just reminded me my beta22 will be arriving on next Monday.  I have three pressing project...

Out of curiosity what is the going rate for a used pair of LCD2 Rev1?

Unfortunately no, spent all my toy funds on beta22 this year and trying to squeeze in a tube tester too.  I think before investing more expensive tubes, I really need to get a tester.  
 
Plus, I'm after a vintage Marantz 2265/2275.

Does this suggest my WA 6 Special Edition shall remain "NU-less?" In your quest for the Marantz, I can help!

Mike, I listened to the LCD-3s and LCD-2s side by side at the Canjam.  Unfortunately for LCD-2 owners, there was no comparison (IMO).  And I love my LCD-2s but I sold them within 2 weeks of coming home.
 
 

I did the same thing at Canjam and totally agree with you. I am planning on ordering a pair in not too long...hopefully

I don't know if it's good for cables alone, but I priced out a re-cabled Beyer T70p, and it gave me the 11% discount on the entire price, not just the headphone portion.

$700 - $725 depending on age and cabling.

No on cables alone and yes on headphone package.

Actually, I am listening to my WA22 right now as I wrestle with Microsoft's Team Foundation Server.
 
Anyway, SillySally is getting an LCD-3 and I can listen to his thoughts first.  Also, I'm working on DIY power cables right now.  I had to replace our refregerator AND oven/microwave already, AND my wife needs a new laptop.  I think I'm going to have to difer any new audio purchases for a while and keep the home fires burning.

I really need to learn to detach from my hardware.  I've been thinking about selling my LCD-2 r2 and I put it off and now there is the 3 out there.  I'm really glad to hear the three is a home run as the Audeze guys are cool and deserve a success.  BTY, what did you sell your 2 at?  I have a stock cable and a nice wooden box with mine.
