I was advised by the Parts Department at Audio Technica, USA, that they do not have replacement earpads for these headphones. I assume that this might also apply to other Audio Technica series. Third party manufacturers also do not seem to carry replacement earpads for the W series. This is a...

Best Brahms No. 2 Interpretation?

I am selling my ATH-W3000ANV headphones. I am the original owner. They are in very good condition, with no scratches/marks on the cups. However, there is some noticeable wear on the hard back of the leather ear pads, where they join the cups. I would rate the headphones condition, other than...

Selling 1 of my 2 pairs of these headphones, originally purchased through PriceJapan. New in the box.

I have always been a big fan of Richter, going back to when I first heard his Carnegie Hall performances of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas.

I’m always searching for memorable recordings of the Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 that are well recorded. My favourite version growing up, was the Rudolph Serkin recording with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. This Pollini recording, played through my Final Audio FI-BA-SS iems and...

Please pm me if interested in unopened W3000ANV. North America only. I have 2 of these and am keeping one.

@Ridleyguy you are only the second person I know of that has a RWA Isabellina although the one that my friend has is the HPA LFP-V.  One of the best sounding DAC/amps I've ever heard.  Told my friend if he ever sells it to let me know. Thanks for your kind words about the Isabellina DavidA. I...

Which is better in terms of sound quality, the LCD-2 Ver.1 or EL-8 open? I would apply that part of Zambz's comments above that I quoted, even to my Ver.1 of the LCD-2, but I would also add, that at least in my main system, the LCD-2 scales significantly better. This is very noticeable...

For those that enjoy classical music and own the Heaven series (I have the IV and V Aging), I highly recommend the Fostex HP-P1 DAC/Amp using the 2 filter assuming you have an Apple player, and CD quality music. I prefer it to the Pico Power amplifier for classical as I find its amplifier...

You're welcome, and I think you hit the nail on the head with your description of the IE8s' soundstage! As to comparing the Heaven V Aging to the Heaven IV, I haven't spent a lot of time yet with the V, so please consider these early impressions accordingly, but at least in my modest portable...

A few impressions on my portable setups and synergy issues. I now have the Heaven V Aging along with my Heaven IV in this series. I feel both the Heaven IV and V both scale well with my main DAC/Amp system, but with relatively short cables, and no portability, this is not a practical setup for...

While everyone is awaiting the release of the SE846, I was surprised that no one (to my knowledge) has mentioned their full sized headphones flagship, the 1840, and questioned why Shure didn't try and take on top tier headphones with it like the Sennheiser HD800, for example. It is interesting...

I received a shipping notice late yesterday.

That works for me. That is 6pm for those on Eastern Daylight Time.
