September 1, 201016 yr comment_384595 tympanni 1's were about 1974, so the patent would have run out 1992 or so... Got to be public domain now. Report
September 1, 201016 yr comment_384596 Not sure. This was all in the early 90's but somebody might have posted the documents somewhere. any details of the lawsuit? those patents have to be way out of date by now. I remember this, too, (but not the exact details of the patent infringement) and thought that was what put Apogee out of business. But when I tried to do a search, couldn't find anything, and someone else later posted that this wasn't true at all. Report
September 3, 201016 yr comment_385300 mine showed up yesterday, but i went to a Colts/Bengals preseason game & haven't had much listening time...i have Dark Side playing on a loop until i get home from work... the Gilmore Lite w/DPS didn't seem to be having any trouble, but i want to try my old Portal Panache next... the wood oil & cloth were a nice touch...& the presentation box itself came double boxed...there are a few things i'd like to change about the design, but i'm pretty impressed by the overall package...

Had you gotten a tracking number from Audeze? I've paid but haven't heard anything else so far. Report
September 3, 201016 yr comment_385304 i got an e-mail from one of their employees...Sankar i believe...a few hours after payment... by the by, their standard ~$22 shipping appears to be fedex two day... Report
September 3, 201016 yr comment_385318 The storage/transportation box protects the headphone very well. Too bad it can only be used with disconnected cables. Black leather over that foam on the headband would look good I think. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3613[/ATTACH] Report

September 4, 201016 yr Author comment_385479 For those concerned about the headband pad, I wonder if an inquirey to J Money might bear fruit. After all he makes the earpads, I don't see why he couldn't design an aftermarket leather headband. Report
September 4, 201016 yr comment_385492 i'm keen on the replaceable insert idea...but a replaceable covering is cool too...i just don't see any way in which the foam isn't going to decay & leave an ugly, crusty gluey mess... Report

After all he makes the earpads, I don't see why he couldn't design an aftermarket leather headband. Sent an email to J Money. I'll report back when he replies. Thanks for the prompt Steve. Report
September 4, 201016 yr comment_385495 Ooooooh! I dub thee Electric Boogaloo! Perhaps a showing at ChiLiquiFi? And the headphones, too? Report
September 4, 201016 yr comment_385539 I finally got around to scanning mine: Interesting how the later the headphones, the smoother they seem to drop after 1k. Report
September 7, 201016 yr comment_386334 I finally succumbed to the hype... I really like the O2 so I hope this won't disappoint. Report
September 7, 201016 yr comment_386357 I really think these headphones need a F5 or BA2 to be properly amped (Only saying that since the idea wafted through my head today) Report
September 7, 201016 yr comment_386392 I really think these headphones need a F5 or BA2 to be properly amped (Only saying that since the idea wafted through my head today) Nah, that's not good enough. You need an actual power amp to drive them well, like its Chinese brother with gold drivers. Report
September 8, 201016 yr comment_386449 LOL @ the BA-2 being "not good enough" agreed. The minimum is "The Arch Nemesis" Report
September 8, 201016 yr comment_386459 agreed. The minimum is "The Arch Nemesis" Did you pick up a copy of Linear Audio? I've been curious about what that amp was (enough so, that your mention of it made me buy a copy...damn you!). Perhaps I'll put a headphone jack on my F5, bring it to a meet with a label "LCD-2 bare-minimum amp" Report
September 8, 201016 yr comment_386466 I've been curious about what that amp was (enough so, that your mention of it made me buy a copy...damn you!) actually, I wasn't totally joking about it being a good choice for the LCD-2. The "Arch" is Nelson Pass' take on a Hiraga Nemisis. Yup, still uses an output transformer. Very "SET sounding". Similar to this: Report
September 8, 201016 yr comment_386470 I knew you weren't totally joking, I only mentioned the F5 because unlike the nemesis I actually have parts to build one. I wonder how the nemesis sounds... Report
