Dealing with Jeff could not have been better - super friendly price negotiation, exceptionally fast and smooth communication and prompt payment.

lol… definitely a good reason to sell

Sold

Sale pending.

Yet another price drop.

Thanks for sharing. Your impressions pretty much summarizes my feelings. Overall, the HE90 sounds much more natural IMO. If you have a chance, I would highly recommend you to try it with a T2. This amp sets the HE90 apart from the HE1 even further.

New price drop! First come, first served.

Price drop! :)

For sale is this pristine ATH-L3000. Included are the original storage box and cardboard box, as well as all the original accessories and papers. This unit is virtually flawless, except for some tiny scratches on the jack (see pictures). Other than that, it is pretty much in factory condition...

Ended up getting the Luxman and after listening more carefully at home, I can attest again that the R10s sound stunning out of it. L3000 also sounds very enjoyable (although I haven't heard these with any other amp). Thank you guys for the recommendations!

Thanks, I was thinking of a total replacement. Did you find any sound enhancement on only reterminating?

Guys, I’m looking for R10 recabling options. I would like to make it flexible (Balanced/SE). Any recommendations?

They're made of pleather. Unfortunately they will flake sooner or later. Best to make them last as much as possible would be to keep them in a temperature/humidity controlled environment.

I recommend Pelican 1400

Thanks guys, interesting to know that most of the drivers around seem to be #3. I wonder whether they sound the same or if Sony did any revision without changing the number. It's hard to tell especially when foams and ear pads are part of the equation.

@jamato8 and @number1sixerfan do you guys know which driver number are yours? Mine is #3. Btw, I’ve heard the R10 with several amps a couple of weeks ago at a local audio show and found them to sound amazing out of the Luxman p750u mk2 (which was the best of the bunch IMO, including Chord Dave)

PM sent

Excellent buyer, fast communication, prompt payment. It was a pleasure dealing with gooky. Thank you for readily accepting to pay via Wise and sorry for the delayed shipping. Highly recommended, would definitely do business again!

Sorry, I saw your message after having leaved the show…

What are the other modifications other than the cable? I see some different colors and no lettering.

I've listed at Yahoo! Auctions Japan because there seems to be no interest over here. Closing this listing.

Already posted elsewhere, but here are a few pictures of my stat rig. I am actually downsizing it a bit, so these are the last pics with all these amazing cans together.

Just for the record... I found out that my R10 (SN# in the upper 100s) drivers are #3. This happens to match with Mikhail's quote, which states that the 3 would be the earliest driver. I'm not sure, but I think that if we start mapping the serial numbers vs. the driver numbers, we may find some...

That's too bad... Maybe next time! I was hoping to meet some fellow head-fi'ers there tomorrow, but it seems not many are attending this time...

Congrats, it looks like you have managed to get the Studio B you were looking for. Beautiful amp! Do you know if they are still taking orders? (It seems to be still available at their website)
