The Monkey Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I think we can leave hf LCD-x posts over on HF. If I want to wander into that morass I will do so. This thread already is beginning to resemble those others in a depressing way. One man's opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milosz Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Seems that Audeze got wiser. Still despite the price LCD-2 sold like hot pie. SOLD LIKE HOT PIE? Love that expression! (Love me some hot pie, too!) I second the opinion of the LCD-3 appearance - those chrome bulwarks have to go! Too gaudy! Why not just encrust them in zircons, for the luva mike? Also, I do not like the wood. A dark wood would look better in this application IM(NS)HO, or at least a "honey colored" wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualguy Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Here is comparo with LCD-2 rev2, the bright red line is the LCD-3. Interesting. My LCD-2 rev. 2 FR graph is similar to this one. However, my LCD-3 FR graph is somewhat different. It drops by an additional 2dB between 1KHz and 2KHz, and it has a valley rather than a peak at the high treble region. They indeed sound somewhat darker than my LCD-2 rev. 2. There seems to be quite a bit of variation betweem units. Edited November 16, 2011 by visualguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I was tempted too, but I'm sure after a week or two I'd migrate back to the K1000 anyway. The positive thing about finding the right rig is that the upgraditis stops. The negative thing about finding the right rig is that the upgraditis stops.

johnwmclean Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hmmm... business opportunity? LCD driver matching service? Only $600? Well if you afford to hand over two clams what’s $600. Add a snake-oil after market cable.... Let call it $3000 square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Put tubes on the cables. That will kick it up to $4K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purrin Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Purrin made another set of waterfall plots. http://www.head-fi.o...d3-measurements We know. Purrin's latest posts of the LCD-3s show that the drivers are much better matched on that other website. We already know that too. I admit to being tempted by the LCD-2, but the QC has me worried. I get the feeling it should be safe now that they've had some time to iron out a few things. Sanker kept stressing their QA - at least 6-7 times at the Irvine meet. The last two r2s (one Audeze brought to meet and Mr. Eddie Current's) I've heard sounded pretty good. They could be cherry picked ones though.

Currawong Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Mine arrived. They seem to have fixed the main issues with the LCD-2s, namely the imaging is better, the ringing is gone and etc. but damn about the price. The 009s still hand them their arse on a platter when it comes to things such as picking the individual instruments out in a well-recorded orchestral piece, but significantly less so than before. I did previously listen with Jude's pair in Tokyo on a few rigs, the two best being an EAR HP-4 with vinyl and an obscure SATRI-based (current gain stage) amp fed by a hand-built R2R DAC. So I reckon compared to the LCD-2s the price increase is somewhat of a hard swallow, but compared to the 009s they are a bargain (but then, so are the 007s).

arnaud Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Surprisingly little gushing so far from the people that have received it. I would have expected a more dramatic celebration, even this early in the process. I'm sure as more people receive it, the glorification will become more prevalent, but I am a bit flabbergasted that anybody on head-fi would receive a $2,000 headphone and not proclaim it the greatest thing since sliced R10s. It has now happened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
