Seeing an Audeze pair of headphones a few years back sent me down this rabbit hole… and now I finally own some of my own. (alien.top)

I have and adore these headphones. I highly recommend looking up Oratory1990s Harmon Target EQ profiles for these.

I have the Woo Audio WA7 D Fireflies Tube headphone amp with the additional WA7 TP tube power and it is a wonderful combo with the LCD-2C. I’m using Neutron Music Player to do the EQ profile and listening on my FiiO m9 Chi-Fi FLAC player. Truly delightful.

The illustrious and praiseworthy u/oratory1990.

I use Equalizer APO so my whole system is EQed, got the profile from https://autoeq.app/

Heyyyy very helpful thank you! I am going to look into it, when I do go to EQ profiles it’s always Oratory1990 profiles as a starter.

I definitely am planning my next amp/dac situation, as i feel like I could be getting more from these but I’ve seen differing opinions on tune amps and planars.

I also read about tubes and planars after purchasing my Audezes. I kept going to a local hi-fi shop that carries new and used gear. I tried out numerous headphone amps and nothing wowed me. I finally gave the Woo Audio a listen and it made the LCDs shine.

Interesting, the only local audio shop near me specializes in tube amps and home audio, they stopped carrying headphones before i got a chance to demo the Audeze which is why it took so long to become mine haha.

Maybe I’ll take them down there after the holidays and shop around.
