Hi head-fiers,
I am just about to pick up a pair of new Audio Technica ATH-3000ANV, I know there is an appreciation thread, but I thought I would throw this out there.
So, as you are all probably aware head-fi is bad for the wallet - after coming back to do some light browsing I decided to pick up a pair of AT ESW11LTD. I haven't quite picked up the ESW11LTD yet as they are due to be released in Australia next year, but in the interim I'm planning to pick up the ATH-3000ANV.
Context: no particular reason for me going with the ATH-3000ANV, but I do love my ESW9s and I read the 3000ANV was more or less the same but taken to another level.
Currently, I only have portable gear (Monster MD Tributes, UE700, ESW9, UE TF)
Questions:
1. Are there any other particular sets of cans I should be considering? The problem with living in Australia and more specifically Sydney is I don't really get a chance to audition cans.
2. What desktop amp/dac will I need to create the appropriate "synergies" with the 3000ANV? I should also put this into perspective in relation to budgetary constraints (recommendations vary quite extensively in some other threads), I'm only willing to spend up to about $500 at the moment. However, if there is something that is dead set the 'end all and be all' or 'bees knees' then I'm happy to research and consider it.
Appreciate any advice/wisdom you guys/girls might have, particularly in relation to Q2.
Cheers,
Bill
