    After spending some time with the SFD-2->Stratus->LCD-4 (RD Modded), I realized I don't need so many variations of a similar sound (Clear) nor an extra amp for the LCD-4.

    Sale pending LauX
    I bought the LauX in late November 2021, works perfectly, I'm not seeing any visual blemishes. Included everything (box, manual, etc).
    $450, includes free CONUS shipping. Other locations I'll cover part of the shipping cost.

    ---------------

    SOLD Clear OG comes with:
    • Everything normally included (box, cables, manual, etc)
    • Cover for the headband to keep it clean
    • 3 sets of extra pads, never used (2 Clear, one Elex). Something to note, one pair of the Clear pads look thinner than the others. This is how they came, thanks Focal for the inconsistency ...
    • Separate sale pending for this cable, price reduced accordingly. I still recommend getting it, I thought the cable made a very nice difference. Forza Audioworks Claire cable terminated in XLR. I noticed an improvement in the sound when using this cable instead of stock.
    • Unused bar of Savon de Marseilles soap because this is what Focal recommends for cleaning the pads
    • Optional for an extra $20 - Headphone stand with a very wide rest for the headband to ensure there is no compression. Since Focal headbands are super expensive to replace I got this stand to ensure the foam doesn't get any wear while they are not in use.
    $600 for friends and contributors, $650 for everyone else. Free CONUS shipping included. Other locations I'll cover part of the shipping cost.

    I've had the Clears for a little under a year and used them moderately. I can see discoloration on the pads and headband cover, I'm including extra pads in case you want to start with them fresh. The headband looks like new to me, the cover appears to have done it's job properly. Other than discoloration on the pads I used, the rest of the headphones look like new and work perfectly. Fantastic synergy with the Stratus and DSHA-3F.

    Really? Does the water you use have to be from Lourdes too?

    I think it has to be from Brigitte Bardot, actually.

    Yes.

    Haha, just passing along what I have heard, may as well include it in case it makes a difference.

    Savon de Marseilles is nice soap. I use it for Focal pads as well as my private parts.

    PM sent. I'll take the Clears (sans cable). Mostly just buying for the soap.

    Would you like an extra bar for your crotch?

    @rhythmdevils Can you get this setup? I smell that many members would benefit from this.

    It is a great price. I'd get it if I don't have so much gear at the moment!
