If he is willing to do such a mod, I will be sure to let EVERYONE know.
Edit: as long as he is also willing to do it again for other customers.

I’m really liking them. Feels very solid and the comfort is great for me. Sounds really good for the price. I was reading the Guideray GR-i 50$ Goodness thread today and definitely agree with all the positive comments there. As my first iem I’m impressed.
Finally said fuck it. I was between these and Ion Forges, I like that those are adjustable and have cable management, but these are a bit cheaper and the height is primo.
i love mine, great quality too
I bought a Ifi Zen Dac and a NAD 3020 V2
Legend has it that the wiring used in the Orpheus was drawn from the pathways of the lost city of El Dorado
I thought it was distilled from the blood of virgins? LOL!
There is no wiring, they developed a system of quantum teleportation.
Ey! The Clears are fantastic man. You wont regret it
The marble base was milled from The Bust of Emperor Cladius. There is also a mention of the creation of the earpads, namely that the leatherwork was cut from norse primeval cow, Auðumbla, and sown together with the hair of Callisto, a mythological greek nymph.
I need verification of some sources though…
Did not buy today but they did arrive at their new home today. LCD-2 Pre-Fazor
Thank you @donjklassen for the great transaction and for letting these Rosewood beauties come live with me. Also for all the goodies - Original box, Case, Cable, Oil & Cloth, headband with serial number, and the warranty and other Audez’e documents. A very nice presentation indeed.
Very much looking forward to giving these an extensive listing session tonight!
Looks beautiful!
Thats a beautiful lcd 2
Okay guys, detective Cooper from twin peaks said to give yourself a gift (anything) every day, so I gifted myself…
The sound is insane, a bit brighter than the pros
Got more Koss for all of you. KDE250. Weird earphones, and a weird buying adventure to go with it.
Paid about 110 USD equivalent from a UK seller for a damaged-box, but new unit.
Box itself doesn’t look too bad, edit: found the instruction manual, the spare earhooks were scattered out of their slots, there’s a bunch of dust on everything, and everything has a very… nostalgic smell. Like a smell of an old book or musty attic. Very strange. The actual earphones are still packaged properly and unused, but it seems this box has seen quite a history. Think this may qualify as NOS
It’s a bit smaller than a KSC75, or rather I should say the 20mm driver is a bit larger than I expected. Build looks quite nice and premium other than the crappy cable. Forgot to mention the case is real leather. Nice.
After an hour of listening and test fitting, I honestly dunno whether I like this sound or not. Signature is a pretty well tuned V-shape aside from an early attack at 1.5kHz and lack of sub-bass, but I also feel the sound is a bit sea-shelly or metallic in a displeasing way. Sort of a very similar feeling I get with other shallow-insertion earphones like Apple earpods.
Yet when I go back to my KSC75 or ESP/95X… they also sound totally wrong but in an opposite way. It’s most puzzling, and I’m hoping the weirdness I’m getting is just because I’m not used to it or am inserting it wrong.
As for comfort and fit, I think they fit pretty well and are decently secure. Main issue is that my facial movements too easily shifts the position of the thing sticking into my ear. The inner bits actually don’t go in the ear canal, but instead hug the outside of it. Maybe I’ll try some silicone rings or foams to see if it helps keep them in my ear better.
Enjoy, my friend! Happy to see they arrived safely
I hope the burn in does the magic, things I have disliked/misunderstood day 1 end up being godlike. I expect a review some time from now ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ what even are those? earbuds with a clip???
basically clip earbuds yeah. Weirder though - 2DD, smaller one is side-firing.
Getting used to it already, feels less sea-shelly, so I really don’t have much left to complain about sound wise. Early impressions, it’s a “super-KSC75” with more mid bass and better extension (till ~30hz when it really cannot make a sound), though I’m not sure if it’s any more detailed. It’s not really comfortable, but it’s also not painful after a long time. I’ll give it my full impressions in maybe a week or two if I have time.
Edit: I misread 2DD for 2BA, LOL, thats weird for an out of ear.
