I use them with the Zana Deux sometimes and other with the v200. The other day I took the feed right out of a chord hugo and that was even great.
I'm using the L505u (champagne gold). Got the Primare DAC30 in balanced mode feeding it.
It produces wonderful music, I can't complain. Its a no nonsense setup that does not sugar coat anything for the most part, so, for thin sounding or badly produced albums, sometimes I prefer to use the w10vtg(modified) as it tends to sound more forgiving.
The vintage Luxman stuff are gorgeous though. Would love to get one of the Luxman tube amps, but prefer the simplicity of solid state. Luckily the l505u does not sound harsh/digital/whateveryouwannacallit in any way. Its on the (almost) sweet side of neutral. Love the L505u, the control and power it has is just lovely. If I ever upgrade my amp, I'll stick with Luxman and move further up the ladder. Love it.
the w3000anv is the can i use least but always enjoy it whenever i do. anyways i've been listening to some stuff with the w3000anv that i would expect to prefer with the th900 but it hasn't turned out that way which has been a nice surprise.
Same. It would never replace the SR-009 or HD800, but neither of those two do what the W3000ANV do to vocal, primarily female vocals. It's purely majestic, ethereal.
It's also underrated as an all-rounder. I've heard most of the flagships on loans for extended periods in my system (save the HE-6), and I prefer them as an all rounder to all but the SR-007/SR-009/HD800. It's without question the best closed full size can available for not crazy money (looking at you, R10 and 4070), IMO.
i rate the th900 more highly in some ways tbh but it doesn't have the w3000anv's euphony
Well, for the sake of my auction, I hope so !
