I'm partial to wood cans. Congrats on the launch, looking forward!

I remember being all set to order the ALO Continental for my ATH-W3000ANV's back in July, but after speaking to the guys at ALO, I decided to wait to see what the fuss over their new Pan Am was all about.  And I'm glad I did. The Pan Am is a neat piece of gear that I was able to audition two...

You might also audition the Audeze LCD-3 and the ATH-W3000ANV.  Each of these headphones has their pros and cons (as per what you're asking for), but it's really going to depend on your headphone choice along with your amp/dac combo to get the precise sound you're after.  It's a quest that can...

Quote: I received my order through Beach Camera, and like daigo, the inner boxes were completely sealed (with no signs of having ever been opened).  Upon removing the sleeve, opening the black box and revealing the actual headphones, it was actually more neatly packaged that what your photo...

Quote:   Try not to let the fit bug you.  I remember back when I tried my first AT's with this style headband, they kept sliding down the side of my head.  It was really frustrating because I liked the sound, but completely ruled them out after a short while because the aggravation wasn't...

Quote:   Congratulations, I LOVE listening to my new W3000ANV as well; even out of the box, and even while burning them in!  Although these fit my head fine, I find it quite interesting that Audio Technica continues to use this style headband, without so much as modifying for...

Congrats on your purchase.  I'm also considering going the route of the ZDSE, my original intention.   Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any experience -- first or secondhand -- of any of Mapleshade's products?

Quote:   Beach Camera is where I got mine, through Amazon.  They're an authorized retailer of Audio Technica.

I would LOVE to come to Singapore some day--hopefully sooner than later!  I had a good friend in college who grew up there, and I just never got around to visit.  Maybe one day I could go with him when he visits his family, since it's always nice to see a new country with someone who knows the...

Thanks, I'm grateful for the feedback.  Glad to know these headphones are easy to amp, and that it's not entirely necessary to spend a bundle.  I'm sure I got drawn in by some of the other posts along with the ultra sexy looks of the tube amps out there.  Just curious how the LCD-3's sound with...

For me personally, I was looking at something along the lines of Zana Deux SE, and then thought it would be nice to have an amp that worked just as well with speakers.  For moving around the house, I'm considering the ALO Continental combo, but have heard nothing about how it sounds with the...

Quote: I guess my "fart got drowned out" or wasn't loud enough either.   Nevertheless, I've actually been enjoying listening to the W3000ANV's burn in on an early 80's B&O receiver which is obviously not the best for these headphones, but clearly provides a bit of the 80's sound I so...

Would love hear what everyone's favored amp/dac set ups are with these.  Just got mine yesterday, and already quite pleased - #1656.  

Yep, that's my concern with the 2A3 and its inability to power larger speakers. So maybe the ZDSE is the way to go?  Rather than spending twice though, I'd like to see what experience people have with other similar quality amps for headphone/speakers. Thanks for the pm, will wait to hear how you...
