English for those of us who aren't communists:

I must say... after working with LCD-2, I find this... not so surprising. The old LCD-2 is easier to deal with and seemingly more durable than this, though.

Wonder how Audeze will respond to this... but of course, that post has not been front-paged yet for some reason or another.

Now I'll have to market my non-Fazor rosewood LCD-2 like from "back when Audeze was still good".

Why not. That's what we do with the PWD.

So it looks like our ears have been confirmed they are using the new driver material for the LCD2/3. Essentially changed to lower costs as the drivers are designed to be tossed likely due to all the uber LCD3 membranes that died or were dying. No wonder they all sound like LCDXs now. Not as clear, not as resolving or articulate.

If you talk to the guy, do you think you could ask him to measure the spacer thickness?  Just something I've always been curious about in orthos and can't find any info on.
Less than 1mm. Like 0.5-07mm

Yes, a huge difference in fq and questionable QA.

What a fucking joke. I've always sensed channel imbalance with my LCDs but always thought it was my mind/hearing loss...

Already replaced my drivers once due to failure. Plug is now falling out of cup on one side so second RMA soon.... Fucking joke.
