The Audio Technica W3000ANV Appreciation Thread - Page 10

 

2 pair of the ANVs 

 

 

 

The 3000anv sounds incredible using my Decware CSP2 with specially selected Bugle Boys 6DJ8. I seem to be listening more and more to these headphones even surpassing the hours I spend with my HD800. I find the isolation excellent also. I am also not seeing the 1K deals anymore so I am assuming most of the 2000 pairs are now sold

You can't talk Mr. Look at all your gear.

 

 

My gear - Momi we got the same gear looks like.  But I don't have two ANVs

 

 

 

Instead you have a dedicated rig for your HE-6s.

And balanced amps.

And some extra awesomeness too

Well ATH is all the cans I have..:P I wouldn't mind getting their amp except the HA5k is so expensive for a 220v. Unfortunately people seem to say there is no ATH amp that will make both W5k and W3k sound good together...? If that is the case I'll just get a massive high current output amp that sounds smooth.

That sounds like a much better idea.

I heard the W5k again last weekend and I didn't dislike it as much as my first run in 2 years ago. It was very spacious, almost stretching the stage. Again, the resonance was my main criticism of the headphone.

Resonance? I don't think I understood what you hear in the W5000 :\ Can you explain more?

Ringing. It's not as bad in the W3000ANV.

Odd...it didn't seem to affect me. Though I did feel that the W5k had pretty bad instrument separation compared to W3k

Does anyone have any suggestions if their ATH phones feel loose like they are slipping down your head?

Thanks.

Squeeze the top bar together with your hands a bit, they're quite strong and won't break. Though if you have a small head, the top bit of the headphone won't touch your face and you'll get terrible bass response. I sorta think that the ATH phones are always designed for people with fat face.....

I use a thick rubber band between the wings to bring the wings closer together. Worked perfect for me. 

Good idea. I'll try that. Thanks.

Does any one know of a reputable US based vendor that is still selling these?  Besides that one vendor on Amazon who has had only 1 in stock for the last several weeks.
