    Ever wanted some LCD-X but thought "i wish they looked nicer than just boring old black"? well today is your lucky day! After breaking 2 pairs of LCD-2s i managed to come across a brand new replacement driver set for the LCD-X and so i fitted them into the rings from my 2 bamboo and fitted the...

    RAAL-requisite CA-1a Circum-Aural Ribbon Headphone is here! @HeadAmp

    wow i mean low end stax are some ugly buggers but i think these beat out even them, i mean i know its about the sound not the look, ive owned plenty of ugly as sin amps in the past from the likes of cyrus but they really do look shockingly poor, im sure they sound great but still

    wow if the LCD-X isnt mid focused enough for you i dont know what is. but that does bring me to a curious question, i know in the LCD-2 things were different driver wise than the 2 closed but when i got my recent pair of LCD-X drivers the sticker on the bag said "Driver replacement kit for LCD-X...

    Maybe, I was lucky enough to be in London for a week got work so I had chance to head to audio sanctuary for some testing against my LCDs thankfully the Lirics use the same cable and I make my own so I had a nice cable and my ifi, they were the only real other closed backs that made me sorta go...

    [TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!

    No it won't and even if wouldn't attempt a board repair on that, it's not unrepairable of course, I could do it but I currently don't have the time and the lovely user above sold me his for a great price so I'm happy

    Struggling to love what is technically an upgrade (LCD-2 to LCD-X)

    i always loved my LCD-2s, ive never heard anything under £1500 i preferred, so when my bamboos broke about a year ago i went and listened to a selection of others and ended up buying another pair of LCD-2s. not too long ago i broke them too (one of the magnets somehow dislodged at the front and...

    Super (capacitor) charging your iFi Zen Can (and other zen products and possibly other manufacturers)

    ive often dabbled with the idea of getting an older or cheaper amp or even amp kit then replacing as many parts as possible with high quality ones to see the results, EG can you turn an average amp into a good one by upgrading its components or will it just make a mess of the sound? ive been...

    Warning click bait: I hate to EQ

    im not a massive fan of EQ myself but thats because i seems somewhat crap at getting it right and the presets often dont agree with me, probably because i think you should likely EQ to your ears not a particular curve. i have however wondered, generally with most things audio we will prefer...

    Poll: How long did your last headphones/earbuds last?

    my Etymotic ER-4Ps (custom eartips and cable) lasted me 8 years, they were still good as gold when i lost them. i still kinda miss them, i know i could replace the IEMs themselves but the tips were made by ACS who no longer do custom tips only their own custom IEMs, sure there are other custom...

    Recommendation for portable headphone amp...reqts in post

    if you want direct USB connection youll need a DAC/Amp if youre happy using the ibasso/your PCs 3.5 (if the ibasso doesnt have a USB DAC mode that is i think my old one did) you can just get an amp as long as youre happy with the sound personally i love my gryphon and the older xcan can be...

    Super (capacitor) charging your iFi Zen Can (and other zen products and possibly other manufacturers)

    i am loving the fact were at the stage its viable to use supercapacitors in consumer grade stuff, the first i saw was only a few weeks ago in a new miniware cordless soldering iron, great seeing them used in audio tech too. id consider something like this myself but i run from a Gryphon which is...

    LCD-ZB, Dr Frankenstein's Audeze

    well im a clumsy dude, ive broken 2x pairs of LCD-2s in a year (though i wonder now if the 2nd was my fault. also i broke my gryphon today too) so i had spares kicking about, browsing ebay i found a guy selling a matched pair of brand new LCD-X drivers, it seemed a shame to let the broken ones...

    [TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!

    Thankfully I'm a board level repair technician who usually works on iPhones so I should be able to fix it all going to plan. If not though I'd be very tempted. Especially as I'm fighting to love the LCD-x sound, I just preferred my 2s. I see a pair of meze Lirics in my near future

    The Meze Liric touched my sou when i demod them, i know i shouldnt listen to stuff outside my bracket but damn they were wonderful, i aso tried the LCD-X closed but ultimately preferred the sound of the LCD-2 closed. currently having killed my 2s im down to a pair of oppo PM3 (and some...

    [TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!

    the latest tale in my usual run of HiFi bad luck, a few weeks ago my LCD-2 closed backs died, i thought the membrane had popped, on further inspection what happened was evidently they got a knock somewhere that had dislodged one of the magnets at the front which had then snapped to the one below...

    Comment by 'emba4' on listing '[BROKEN] Audeze LCD-2 Closed back'

    i know i got quoted when i broke the first pair, a refurb would be £500 plus shipping, they also offered a discount on the new style headband if i wanted to buy it, instead i bought the essentially brand new "ex-demo" LCD-2 closed back for £550, so while its not restrictively expensive it is...
