    @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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
