recstar24 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 So, should I get an LCD-2? I don't know why but I kind of want one. Listen to one first. It's a nice sounding headphone. I had johns rev 1 for awhile and it was very nice, at times a bit lush but still detailed. Imagine a faster more detailed and overall tighter hd650. Rev 2's are popping up cheap used too.

The Monkey Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I've heard it a couple of times now and like it. Of course, I don't actually need it. But that's a silly distinction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I'm hoping to compare the LCD-2 and HE-500 in December thanks to John. I really like the HE-500 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teufelshunde Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Audeze FR plot for the LCD-3 I purchased - for comparison purposes w what others have received. There are no data like empirical data. Edited November 19, 2011 by teufelshunde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Dinny, I didn't need it either, but succumbed to temptation as you may remember They're nice, but having Stax stuff, kind of redundant on the long haul. I'd go for the LCD-3 Edited November 19, 2011 by Torpedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I just got a crazy idea, how about cramming some Stax drivers in the LCD-2 housing... Has anybody disassembled one of these with full internal pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the HE500 is retailing for $699 it is a moar better deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no data like empirical data. It still bothers me that Audeze does not show both drivers on the graph. Just seems slightly slimy.

Audiojunkie Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 It still bothers me that Audeze does not show both drivers on the graph. Just seems slightly slimy. Most headphone companies don't show any FR data whatsoever....at least Audeze goes this far. But I agree that both channels would be preferable. Purrin's data on his LCD-3s looked really good FWIW.

recstar24 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Completely OT but looking at purrins plots the hd800 sure looks pretty freaking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 That's because they are freakin' good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recstar24 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Would love to have another listen. Last time I remember them having a brighter tonal balance but I though they were speedy and imaged well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrin Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Just in case you guys haven't caught wind of it yet, I posted a toilet paper mod for the LCD3 on HF for shits and giggles: http://www.head-fi.o...on#post_7904568 Edited November 20, 2011 by purrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudeWolf Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 That white toilet paper doesn't go too well with the brown zebra wood. But I think that there's a mod for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livewire Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 That white toilet paper doesn't go too well with the brown zebra wood. But I think that there's a mod for that. There is. In his thread he explains it is sandwhiched in between the existing cloth pieces. It is not visable from the outside. As mentioned before, this would be a great mod for for those who listen to the LCD3 with Schiit products. Hmmm, I wonder if used toilet paper would sound better?

wink Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 It would sound more organic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankCooter Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Don't know anything about the LCD-3, but if you're at all interested, there's been some good deals to be had on used LCD-2's. I bought a 3 week old pair for substantially under the original price. I wasn't a big fan of the originals, but I'm liking the r2 a lot.

TMoney Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Tried making a few posts in the LCD3 thread over on the "dark side." What a mistake. I'm sorry I bothered. Anti-intellectualism reigns supreme over there. It reminds me of the the "Tea Party" mentality. Complex things are scary to the simple minded.

digger945 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 That white toilet paper doesn't go too well with the brown zebra wood. But I think that there's a mod for that. If you take a piece of newspaper or magazine paper and wad it up and roll it back and forth between your hands for a few minutes, it gets very soft like toilet paper. I dunno if that would be useful for a headphone mod, but it could be useful if you really needed some toilet paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
