well…if you like the idea of wearing a tiger thong on your face, all the power to you man, LoL!
I mean I already wear a black one so might as well the pink obe a lot of my outfits these days incorporate a lot of pink so this seems perfect
If I don’t like It I can return it within 30 days anyway.
I did not buy this, but have it to play with for awhile thanks to a very generous loan from Mr. @sa11297!
(LCD-2 PF)
Very generous indeed! Those cans are so sweet especially for us metalheads
Looking forward to your thoughts
Yeah. VERY initial impressions is that it’s going to be a helluva shootout between this one and the HexV2. The real winner is going to be me
I’m excited for you! You have the bifrost 2 and 6xx correct? That’s going to be pretty sweet
Also great photo’s
Thanks! Bifrost 2 was suppose to be here today also, but, still no update on the tracking info. it still shows up today.
Initial reaction Atom DAC > BHC+SB > 6XX = wow. Sounds so full.
Received a minor upgrade, but is supposed to be the most transparent, bit-perfect TOSLINK made. It has a very smooth and supple sheathing. Looks nice too, imo.
Today I bought a pair of STAX SR-L700 MKII and a STAX SRM-D50 - I hope they’ll arrive for pickup at the post office tomorrow. Fingers crossed
EDIT: They have arrived!
I purchased a NOS GE 5963 (12AU7) tube for $16. That is probably the last tube I will be purchasing for my Bottlehead Crack.
So far, the Mullard 6080 + Brimar CV4003 or Marconi 12BH7 is the best sounding combination.
Noice… let us know your thoughts
Nice LCD-2 rev. 1’s there. I was lucky to find a seller two years ago who obviously babied his pair while using them frequently.
Looking forward to reading your impressions on them.
For my LCD-2 rev. 1:
- Bass: Full bodied, textured, and deep extending without bleed-through into the mids
- Mids: Again, full bodied, thick, chocolate-ty goodness
- Treble: Missing top-end information here. Cymbals and cymbal crashes sound a bit neutered.
The LCD-2 rev. 2 has a little more top-end than the rev. 1 to sound a bit more neutral but loses out on the thicker mids of the rev. 1; the rev. 2’s mids are still lush but just a tad bit less than the rev. 1. Honestly, the differences are a matter of centimeters here. I feel the rev. 2 provides a more balanced sound with respect to the bottom-end to the top-end, but the rev. 1 is the more romantic (and slower) sounding of the two. Indeed, there are more than a few who prefer the rev. 1 due to its more luscious mids and a bit more bass presence than the rev. 2’s.
For now, I’m keeping both
Also ordered a bottlehead crack kit
I guess you liked those X00s or dennons. I’m kind of jealous. Can’t wait to hear what you think once they arrive.
