@Army-Firedawg Apologies for late reply. I don't own the Oppo PM1 which is your favorite headphones. The ATH W3000anv has a sound somewhat similar to the W5000 (which you reviewed in YT) but with sublime mids. It is very euphoric especially for female vocals. It has better bass & highs too...- Beautifulsound

Thank you for a thorough excellent review. I finally got the x5000. Compared to the rare legendary W3000anv (anniversary model) which I also own, the x5000 is certainly tuned differently. It has a sharp analytical sound whereas the W3000anv is mellow and very much more musical. Bass in the...- Beautifulsound

Don't get why "Audiophile" Power Cable would improve sound quality
No instrument or scope can measure whether a power cord or interconnect sounds good. For that matter, neither can these measures exactly how good a pair of headphones may sound in the real world. The gold standard is the human ears. It is ultimately how the ears perceive the sound. We are... -
New Audio Technica Woodies: ATH-W1000Z announced
I am very sorry for this belated post. I own both the ATH W3000anv and ATH W1000z. The W3000anv has more body and a thicker sound in the mids and the lower bass. It sounds more analogue and fuller in female as well as male vocals. Important distinction: The W1000z cannot beat the euphoric vocals...- Beautifulsound

In Japan there are some new units. But these shops in Tokyo are asking for US$3,000 (equivalent in Yen) before tax . I already have one and contemplates in buying another from these shops. The W3000anv is that good. It may grow in value in the next few years. A great investment to have.- Beautifulsound

Reply to review by 'beautifulsound' on item 'iFi Audio iTube'
Good points & review. Wanting to tame that digital noise/ harshness of your sold state or Op amps ? Try this at a surprisingly low price. iFi makes some of the best affordable amps, dac around. Another tip - try their iUSB which splits the audio signal from the current path. Try also their...- Beautifulsound

The W3000anv is ( 1 ) very musical. ( 2) beautiful lacquered cups and headphone jack ( 3) a limited 50th anniversary edition of 2,000 units all of which had dried up. How does it sounds ? Imagine a super refined version of the classic M50. Very refined bass, mids and highs. How does it...- Beautifulsound
