Reply to review by 'fatmangolf' on item 'Klipsch Image X10 Noise-Isolating Earphone'
You've probably done this already... you could try taking the cables tight under your chin or backwards over your neck and using the pinch to fix them there. I've found that makes the cable hitting my shirt or jacket less noisy when walking. I suspect with such a light earpiece the cables are...- Fatmangolf

Has anyone written up notes on dismantling the LCD-2's for cleaning and oiling? I guess that the notes would include: removing each headphone from the headband optionally removing the leather earpads oiling and polishing the wodoen shells moisturising the leather pads (and strap if...- Fatmangolf

I wondered whether Canadian grass was taking us off the path of audiophile enlightenment. But we have only 22 pages to go so why not?- Fatmangolf

It is matter of personal taste. I know what I like but everyone else is entitled to their own opinion! I like the balance of the bass, middle, and treble in the LCD-2's. It's like listening to full range hifi speakers in the midfield, i.e. 2 or 3 metres away (but with even better sound...- Fatmangolf

On second thoughts, perhaps this wasn't such a good idea. I fear there would be a multi-page debate on the impact of the new material on the LCD-2 treble! Quote:- Fatmangolf

Yes you can providing you check the amp can handle this and then make up a reliable cable. Do this a t your own risk. If in doubt use its headphone socket or get a proper headphone amp.
