Psapp - Upstairs. The recording on this is so amazing.

Excellent.

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.

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.

Sell your plasma before your amp.

Have you tried EQing them? I have the LCD-2Cs and I bought a Woo Audio WA7D Fireflies tube amp with the extra WA7TP tube power source. They sounded better than when running through my receiver. It just wasn’t quite enough, though.

I finally tried using Oratory1990’s Harmon target EQ preset for my LCD-2Cs. It was like one of those movie scenes where the light shined out of the clouds in those crepuscular rays (God rays for you Skyrim fans). It hit me right in the top of my head and I was floating on a cloud.

Try this out first before spending any more money.
