The lighting is so bad today, but think I managed to take a picture where you sort of see the actual colour of the Shedua wood. Anyway, my set is in! Zach and the team delivered in well under 3 weeks, so thanks a lot for that! Listening to it now and first impressions are excellent. Will take...

The MSRP in Europe for the V550 (non-pro) is 2600 EUR and the US5 (also non-pro) is 5300 EUR, that is also more than double, so the LP pricing seems consistent. Pro versions cost 3200 EUR for the V550 Pro and 5900 EUR for the US5 Pro, so that is a little under double then. The Bliss costs 3400...

I just got a message that my ZMF is "being assembled". Sounds like that means CNC and sanding would have been done already for mine. This is for the Shedua as well. This is the first message I got by the way.

Great experience with this buyer. Quick and pleasant replies, to the point and clear questions. Recommended.

For sale: ZMF Vérité Closed Limited (Camphor Burl) On offer is my limited edition Vérité Closed, which I received in early 2022 directly from ZMF. The headphones feature wonderful camphor burl cups, which are very photogenic and look especially good in direct sunlight. The camphor burl is a...

At this point, Trevor's line-up of Vykari cables is a little confusing. He started out with his original Vykari Reference, which was his top-end fusion. He has the 'refreshed' version (or second version...) of that listed on his website now and calls it the Vykari Classic, which is also fusion...

Thanks! Yeah - I'm quite sure that is mine and I have to say I'm super happy with how all of the details turned out, that nickel ring included. I remember Trevor saying he would take pictures, though when I asked him about it he seemed unsure any of the pictures came out right. Looks like there...

This is my first all silver cable. I just wanted to see what a top silver cable from Trevor would do for me, compared to his hybrid offerings. Especially for a headphone like the Elite, which would in theory benefit from additional detail retrieval, and which does not need more thickness, heft...

Yes, the Vykari v2 is all silver. The Vykari Classic is the hybrid version (the refreshed version of the original Vykari Reference). The naming is a tad confusing to be fair. These are the specs: Vykari v2 - 17.1awg - Silver occ litz - 12-wire - flagship headphone cable - cotton cores - new...

Absolutely, and so do I. Not letting go of mine. This was my chance to have a shiny all silver cable though! :relieved: probably won't end up with too many pure silver cables. The weave on this is just magic. Took me a minute to realize he did a square braid with 12 wires, instead of the usual...

So yesterday I finally received my Vykari v2! I initially wanted to go with a sleeved approach, so that I could visually match my Meze Elite Chameleon, but in the end I decided to go with a clean silver look instead. I did decide on keeping the purple splitter inlay just to subtly match my Elite...

Holo Audio actually sell a different version of the remote that allows you to control both with a single remote. There are some pictures of the other remote on the Bliss thread, here for example. Probably worth getting if you are holding on to both devices, especially considering how nice these...

The Susvara is a very well balanced headphone, and the Niimbus is a neutral but full bodied amp, so I think that works well in keeping the character of the Sus while making sure it doesn't sound thin. Bass is rich enough, especially the subbass, but the Niimbus will not add any more bass on top...

I can only say good things about the pairing honestly, combined with the May. I'm getting great clarity, it's musical and engaging and well balanced, as you'd expect from a US4/US5. The only qualifier is should add is that I haven't heard the Susvara on any other high end amps, so I'll fall...

The new Vykari Classic just looks fantastic with that square braid. Much better in my opinion than the braid for the original Vykari (which is why I had mine sleeved). I like the the orange accents you picked. I have an adapter cable coming in with the new braid look hopefully next week or the...

Thanks, I was aware! Just about finalized my design with Trevor so a Vykari v2 will be coming to me soon :)

I'd second that. I had Trevor build me a Vykari back in 2020 when I still had my Utopia, which was a fusion cable as well, but with more silver than copper. From memory, I felt like it added some body to the Utopia, though I never compared too much with the stock cable. I think the Skollvar v2...

Just ran across this short LCD-2 and LCD-3 re-review on my YouTube feed from headphones.com, both with the latest pads. It's nice to see the LCD-3 getting some love.

Good experience, pleasant to deal with and responded quickly and paid promptly. Recommended.

Price drop.

For sale: Audeze LCD-5 I am offering my pair of Audeze LCD-5 for sale. These were purchased new by me in December 2021 and are in excellent condition. These are very well-balanced headphones that can technically compete with the very best out there, but I need to let them go as I have too many...

If you are still undecided, at your price point I would suggest looking at the Violectric V550. I personally strongly considered the V590 (same amp, but with built in DAC), though I ended up getting the higher end US4+ as I was able to get a good deal. Any of the Lake People gear is generally...

Yes, it is a direct replacement and the principle is the same as all of the older suspension straps, though the dimensions of the strap are different from the older ones. I don't believe you can order the LCD-5 strap from the website directly, but I'm sure they'll make you one if e-mail them...

My LCD-5 stretched out on the HPS-T, up to the point they didn't suspend anymore on my head (which was surprisingly uncomfortable actually). I bought the stand specifically for this reason and I thought the same as you initially with these being much lighter. I recently bought a custom made...

That is a Woo Audio HPS-T. Superb stand, high quality, though a bit pricey (especially when you want to get them to Europe). Linky.
