Selling an excellent condition LCD3 bought brand new in 2020. Reason for selling, moving up to Abyss TC. Message for additional info.

Negative. I have the TT2/HMS that I run through a WA33 and even if there is a fraction of a percent of transparency lost, a high powered tube amp like the Cayin HA-300 or WA33 adds so much more lifelike tone, soundstage, space between instruments, impact, and three dimensionality to the sound...

I hate that the TC does multiple things I want the LCD-4 to do, but I can’t live without the things you mentioned the LCD-4 does, so I can’t switch to the TC. Back to waiting on an LCD-5 if/whenever that happens, and I hope they don’t take the warmth and soul out of the Audeze house sound to...

What dac are you using? A more dynamic and punchy sounding dac could help. Or, if you’re like me and not allergic to hardware EQ, use a Schiit Loki to dial in some fun. LCD-4 has such vanishingly low distortion that you can’t even tell the EQ is on. I use it in my system and it’s fantastic...

Interesting. What dac/amp combos were the demos? Mine have PLENTY of front, 45 degree, and even rear 120 degree sound. I know from experience that the 4s are extremely revealing of the dac and amp. If either isn’t up to the three dimensional sound task, the 4s won’t fake it. They really tell it...

Can we flag the acronyms RFI and EMI as offensive in this thread and have the moderators immediately delete the posts so we can all live happier lives and read about impressions with different headphones/amps and sound quality? Pleeeease?:)

I forgot you live in San Diego. Howdy neighbor.

^^This guy gets it.

Wow BluDave too. Part of me wants to go HMS/Dave now that I know I can have Dave atmospherics AND naturally weighty tone/soul. Problem is, aesthetics. I’m big on that. As you can see my nightstand is crowded enough with that big WA33 which ain’t going anywhere. I measured it out and a Dave won’t...

Yeah. Did this at CanJam SoCal. Dave/HMS sounds even cleaner, richer, and above all else..bigger..way more atmospheric. The sound field around your head is huge. Dave does this on its own, but with a very dry/technical sound signature IMO. HMS further increases the detail to this porcelain...

Great question. As I was burning in the new BNCs all last weekend, I figured why not, and plugged the 4s directly into the TT2/HMS headphone out. VERY minor uptick in transparency because the WA33 is practically see thru in that regard, as it should be for 8 grand. I was surprised though, at +15...

Alright so I’ve had the HMS on my TT2 for about 2 weeks now. AudioArt BNC cables since Friday. My non-technical assessment is this. If an audio component makes me laugh because it sounds so good, I buy/keep it, it’s a winner. Very few components in my 25yrs as an audiophile, even at super high...

I asked before how to shut off the M Scaler, and you guys said it automatically turns off when it doesn’t detect incoming signal. Well, why does the OP/SR light stay on at all times then? It’s been 24hrs since I’ve used it and that light being on is driving me nuts lol. Do I have to resort to...

Well this is an old one, yeah, bought a WireWorld Silver Electra 7 power cable and the effortlessness to the sound definitely went up a noticeable amount. If not I would’ve returned it. Great purchase.

Looks like we have some similar gear. I’ve been debating on swapping my LCD-4s for Abyss TC for months, but I’ve demoed the TC and idk if I can let go of the LCD-4s to die for soulful midrange. TC is no doubt technically better, but those Audeze mids are everything to me. Anyway, I’ve only had...
