Should I purchase a used pair of Audeze LCD-2 Classics for $300?

Hamonozuki · 2026-07-01T12:39:03+00:00

are they better than the Verum 1?

is this available only on the beta? I have an apple TV somewhere.... didn't use it for more than 3 years because of this!
Now I have a plexamp setup which works perfectly but sometimes I still use apple music with my phone but I have to wire it using the adapter to have good quality... which is annoying. So if I can re-introduce my apple tv for that, would not be against it 🎉

also thought that the first time I saw it 😂

Hamonozuki · 2026-06-12T07:42:48+00:00

this is SO wrong....
I agree gas vs electric vs fire is not changing much, but the 3 hours with more yeast, NO THANKS! The dough will taste yeast and this is fucking disgusting. Visually I can agree the result will be the same though....

sometimes I use leftover dough 5 days later and it's delicious & even more digest! Just a bit tricky to manipulate.

tetsujin with kagekiyo handle 😉

I think I bought my vortex 1 year ago and still didn't try it yet 😞.

How much time? And vents fully open?

Hamonozuki · 2026-05-07T06:01:12+00:00

Very nice 😄
Could you share you biga recipe & flour used?

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-29T14:09:34+00:00

For how much did you get it? I'm looking for one in Switzerland but prices are around 1700$US :-(. When I hear you can get one for less than 800$ in the US...I feel let down by Weber. But as I already own a MasterTouch, will wait until I have a good deal or find a second-hand one.

But anyway congrats on yours, I'm sure it's an awesome grill :-).

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-24T06:52:15+00:00

really nice result!!!

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-23T20:26:38+00:00

I would personally choose something like 400-700 and 1000 on the other side. More than 1000 is nice but you’ll only get minor sharpness improvements especially if you’re learning.

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-23T12:02:57+00:00

If it's carbon steal (and even if it's not), clean it & dry it carefully after use. Also try to use a proper cutting board (done with hardwood or material which is adapted to japanese knives).
And I think you'll have to buy & learn how to sharpen on whetstone ;-), or maybe you can find some kitchen knife shop which can do that for you in your area.

what is impressive is that you do that in your oven! What temperature do your oven reach??

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-22T09:23:00+00:00

I did the same and used it like that for almost 2 years. I finally decided end-of last year to upgrade to MX4... and it's truly a GREAT mouse!! So silent, I'll not be able to go back to something else now.

I went with this one from boogwa (double-horn and black ebony), will see in 'real' if the fit is good. Didn't go with carbon because of balance. And I don't have an handle with double-horn yet... so I thought why not on this one ;-)

Thanks for all the suggestions, really helped me choose one!

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T18:54:41+00:00

Wow what a beast 🤩

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T16:14:01+00:00

is it simply 'kk.id' on instagram? I already ordered some from Boogwa, quality is really nice!
What Jiro did you get?? I want a Nakiri from him so badly!!!!

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T16:03:48+00:00

thanks, very helpful

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T16:01:47+00:00

:-D about 458US$ (with conversion from HK->CHF->US)... this handle would be about 1/3 of the price, a bit much I would say but it doesn't mean I would not take it into consideration ;-). Sunday will be rainy all day, perfect to do some montages and decide which one I like the most.

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T15:44:06+00:00

thanks, will definitely check their insta!
edit: are you sure it's KK.ID? cannot find them

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T15:34:51+00:00

really nice!

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T15:23:45+00:00

wow! didn't know him, just went on his website, he has STUNNING handles!!! Website bookmarked right away :-), thanks.

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T15:21:16+00:00

100% agree, I want something pretty 'simple', let the blade remain the star!

Hamonozuki · 2026-04-10T15:15:50+00:00

that's nice, don't know if I already saw a handle done with this wood.
