The Audio Technica W3000ANV Thread
If you're very² careful, you can use swirl removing polish used for cars and also some carnuba wax after that. Only attempt as a last resort and only if you know what you're doing, else you're gonna make it worse.... I once restored a fairly abused and dull looking W11JPN back to perfect mirror...- wrecked_porsche

Same here. Couldn't agree more. I prefer my W11JPN over the W3000, but damn, those yummy glossy woodcups and the overall W3000 look and feel just oozes pure class and elegance. Makes my W11jpn feel like a cheap inferior quality knockoff toy. ;) :D Can't bring myself to do it....- wrecked_porsche

Well, there is always that L3000G which u mentioned earlier? Pristine, no? Hahaha. I should probably cut down my collection too, its really gotten out of hand over the years. I keep hoarding them but I only ever use the W11JPNs most of the time. Speaker wise, I'm currently rocking a pair...- wrecked_porsche

Had? You sold it? Okay, when I win the lottery, I'll give you a buzz, that green L3000 will be mine... need to make up for all the bad luck. Yes, it worries me that the drivers are becoming quite old... why do you think I have backups of my W11jpn? My only two regrets in this hobby over the...- wrecked_porsche

The Audio Technica W3000ANV Thread
Hmmm... interesting. To me, the W3000 are brighter than the W11jpn. Sometimes I feel that the treble on the W3000 just doesn't mesh well with the mids and bass as compared to the W11jpn. OR, maybe the mids on the w3000 are not prominent enough for me. Sometimes I feel like the w3000 is tip...- wrecked_porsche

The Audio Technica W3000ANV Thread
Well, listening to the W3000 yesterday, some songs were stunning, yet some were meh. On some songs, it was perfection, yet on others, the treble was distracting me from enjoying. Somehow felt detached from the rest of the spectrum and the overall tendency of the w3000 not to have any weight ot...- wrecked_porsche

Had a solid couple of hours listening session with the W3000anv. Need to put them both away now, bed time. Took a quick snap before I stored them away. Damn difficult to photograph them as the reflection makes it looks like scratches etc. ES7 shall accompany me to dreamland now....- wrecked_porsche

Duh, silly me. Typo and miscalculation... Yeah, they were formed in 1962. Next year will be 55 years. Oh well, more time to save up for their next collector's edition flagship headphone then. Muahahaha...- wrecked_porsche

The Audio Technica W3000ANV Thread
Well, they did release the w10ltd for their 35th anniversary..... Also, some of the other woodies were released at seemingly random intervals so... thats why I was wondering if there were any new developments on that front. This year marks their 55th anniversary no? I was hoping that...- wrecked_porsche

Hey guys, any news on when the next limited edition flagship AT woody will be out? No info on the W3000ANV successor? Just curious since AT has been soo quiet on that front... can't wait to get my hands on the next Echizen Laquer beauty from AT...- wrecked_porsche
