LCD-3 Soundstage Xperience Review

Postby redline_xp » Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:11 pm

The Audeze LCD-3s are famous for their bass, and the review samples did not disappoint. “Redención,” from Cuban bassist Orlando Cachaito López’s Cachaito (16/44.1 ALAC, Nonesuch), features López’s big, thumping double bass, which energized the LCD-3s like no other track. From Cachaito there were strong impacts, lingering reverberations, and deft glissandi. There were also fine mid- and upper-bass articulation and a great rhythmic foundation from Cachaito and punctuation from the drums, both of the latter using repeated figures. James Carter’s bass saxophone in “Nuages,” from his Chasin’ the Gypsy (16/44.1 ALAC, Atlantic), sounded like the coal-fired engine of a freight train blatting out the tune, astonishingly agile in a low register. Finally, the foundation of fine, oceanic swells from the double basses of the BBC Symphony Orchestra led by Jiří Bělohlávek in the first movement, Adagio moderato, of Elgar’s Cello Concerto, with soloist Jean-Guihen Queyras (24/96 FLAC, Harmonia Mundi), was deeply resonant and satisfying.

Thanks Cong Jack for Reminding me. Most of all my Sincere gratitude to Clinton Palanca for giving the Audeze a chance to feature it with Rogue Mag. I just Hope Bianca King will have her chance to listen to LCD one day :D :D :rofl: :rofl:

"Paying Close attention to Vivid sound & dynamics shading, Audeze's LCD-X is all about the pursuit of AUDIO EXCELLENCE'

Arnie Nudell of Infinity & Genesis (orig) take on LCD-X

"This recording was done at a concert and the vigorous clapping and variety of noises from the audience are reproduced in a way that makes you feel you are really amongst them, while the guitarist sounds almost right in front of you. The dramatic and explosive strums of the steel strings on the acoustic guitar are reproduced with stunning fidelity, and Lofgren’s voice has a sandy, throaty quality perfect for the song he was singing."

my LCD-XC, the X's twin brother sounds really good driven by a Fiio X5 or laptop-> AudioEngineD3..relatively easy to drive.

I spent most of the day building a cable (upgrade kuno), pero kahit papaanong gawin ko ayaw tumunog with the DIY cable, only to find out na mali pala yung interpretation ko sa drawing ng pin layout :tmi: :$ hopefully matapos ko mamaya para malaman kung may improvement nga 8) hirap palang mag solder 'pag malabo na ang mata

Thanks Ding for sharing. Let us know your experience upgrading the cable. :)

Hi C-JD,

The X is more laid back than the XC. :) :) :)

LCD-X is my absolute favorite at the hi-fi show. I heard the LCD-3 w/ EAR, various Grado's, Hifi Man, etc.

Coming in close is the HD800 driven by Senn's own DAC/amp. This is to me the comfort winner of all options.

I just can't justify the purchase since I don't even have time to listen to my HD600 (bought when it was Senn's top of the line can) and a now classic AKG K1000. I do understand how JckD feels though--tempting!

But if I were in the market for a full-sized headphone now, Audeze is it!
