Anybody try the Crack/Speedball with Audze LCD2 or 3s?

The SEX amp is a much, much better choice for the LCD-2.  A Crack will have issues with both the output impedance and the cutoff frequency of the coupling caps at the output with a 60 Ohm headphone, and the low sensitivity will not help either.

In fact the S.E.X. amp is a particularly great match with the LCD-2. We had LCDs absolutely kickin with S.E.X. at RMAF a couple years ago.

Everyone should have a Sex amp or two around. Headphone amps, speaker amps, line stages with uber low output impedance and no cathode follower, you name it.
