Default Audeze LCD-4 arrived today


Straight out of the box and hooked up to the C1100 and they sound simply stunning. This, once I can identify the appropriate headphone amp, will form the basis of the only second system I will have ever owned.

Enjoy your new headphones, they are amazing. I tried a pair in Vancouver and was very close to buying them. The bass is fantastic. I chose the Focals but these are equally as good.

Very nice! Did you decide upon a dedicated headphone amp yet? I bought several including the Deckard and the iFi Pro iCan for its tube or FET output stage.

I personally really love the Burson Conductor V2+. It offers 8 watts of power and is very reasonably priced.

Many thanks for the positive comments. Still breaking them in but already feel that they are tightening up and becoming more revealing. I take my hat off to the designers, despite their weight, they sit incredibly comfortably even after an extended listening session. Regarding a headphone amp, I'm in no hurry and would like to sample a few before committing. Does anyone have any experience of the recently produced Audeze 'The King' headphone amp?

I was just recently at CanJam NYC 2017 and this was my experience... For the first 2-3 minutes, I was getting really annoyed because I thought a live band had started playing in the showroom. I was thinking to myself, "Why in the heck would they invite a live band to play at a headphone convention?! That is just plain stupid! I am trying to demo a headphone setup! Knock it off! Wouldn't it be funny if this system was fooling me into thinking that a live band was playing in the room? No way! That's not possible!"

Then I realized there was no live band in the showroom. I had been tricked! Their setup sounded so real that I had been totally convinced a real band was playing in the room. That is simply amazing! My highest recommendation. By far the best sounding setup at the show. I liked it even more that the new Sennheiser Orpheus HE-1 that costs $55,000.
