Smeggy Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 much as I love the K1000 I feel the LCD2 is definitely moar better for me. I just wish I could get more head time with them. Same problem as the k1000... too much leakage though not nearly as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3cT Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 The LCD2 sounds amazing with the β22 that's for sure. It didn't seem to do as well with the EHHA for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurubhai Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 ^Which tubes on EHHA? Some tubes sound a bit slow & mushy with LCD-2, but the telefunkens seem to have just the right balance for me. Never heard a β22 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard a β22 though. It's Amperex but I didn't ask the owner specifically what model it is but it's the one that comes with the Glass Jar kit. Yeah, I mentioned to him that changing the tubes should be a top priority to improve its sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 They are definitely good, but they did not do enough to entice me away from my K1000. I think the LCD-2 is a fantastic headphone. It gets my top recommendation as a circumaural headphone. But, like yourself, no other headphone can do what the K1000 can, in terms of a somewhat speakerlike presentation. And I love the option of adding a subwoofer for tactile bass. I would love to hear the LCD-2 on my β22 some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lcd2 is THE story of the year 2010 for Headphondom. Edited January 3, 2011 by Tyll Hertsens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yup, this. I think the lcd2 is THE story of the year 2010 for Headphondom. Statements like this really peak my interest. Does the GS-X have enough grunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I bought based on a Gilmore Reference listen and been mostly powering with the GS-1 since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 ok just for reference just tried to rock out to "long way down" by the Goo Goo Dolls on the Zu's and it was ok on the LCDs it was FUCK YEAH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Time for you to return those speakers if you think the LCD-2 are better. I think you are nuts but what else is new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"...even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." Also, as for the K1000, finally mine arrived, albeit the high serial number version. I will listen tomorrow. By the way, the seller included 8 of the temple pad pillows, so I have, what, two spare sets now over the as-new ones already on it. I'm waiting for LCD2 FOTM to wane to snatch a pair...

NekoAudio Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Dang the LCDs are sweet, while I love my speaker rig they constantly compete for time with the Zu and Alons I could listen all day except for the fatigue at the crown of my head from the head band Some people have reported lessening their LCD-2-induced head fatigue by switching to lighter cables. Others have accomplished the same by faking a neck injury to get one of those plastic neck braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I need to remember to bring CDs I know next time I am going to be near the LCD2's, I have had them on my head twice and still no idea what they sound like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes thanks I've got the silver dragon which is far lighter and netter but still the top of my head gets fatigued over time. It's not a really big deal as it is a good indicator that I need to get out of the house and do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnotis Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Statements like this really peak my interest. Does the GS-X have enough grunt? I'd be shocked if they didn't work beautifully with the GS-X. To my ears, even the Pico DAC/Amp almost has enough grunt. It does lose a little bit of impact when compared to your old Beta22. But the difference is surprisingly small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsieurguzel Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 No, to properly drive them with 'authority' (new HF buzzword), you need a 6W headphone amp that will drive your headphones to 120+db without distorting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asr Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think the LCD-2 sounds great on the GS-X when balanced, but hey, what do I know, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
