I'll be patiently awaiting when you finally cave and list your next L3000

Audio-Technica ATH-L3000 " The Legendary Leatherhead "
- Thread starter protoss
- Start date
There is one in Ebay right now, but it is super overpriced at $5.5K and in Japan. The last L3000 I saw sold in headfi classified was a modded and was worth around $4k. The last Yahoo auction was priced better than the other 2 at around 386,100 yen which is probably around $2800 per Google.Just received a ATH-W11R in the mail, along with a set of Yaxi pads.
Quite excited to give these a try, ATH-W11R and L3000 are the two woodies I've always wanted.
Edit: How often do you guys typically see L3000s pop up for sale these days (not just on here, but anywhere including Ebay)? I think I've seen around two or three a year since 2020.

Yeah lol. The logo is faded and the leather look pressed in for some reason while covered in spots. Can’t believe he had the guts to price it that high. I guessing the paper worth 90% of the asking price . Yahoo auction really is the way for old school Japanese headphones, but still gotta pay customs and pray for shipping to not mess up.
Also nice W10VTG pic. The W10VTG was my first ATH woodies and what got me invested into trying another ATH woodie. Still keeping me clean and polish to this day

I saw that Ebay listing and just laughed....poor condition, well above-market value, seller with 96% feedback.
My desire for L3000 is strong, but not that crazy!

Don't just concentrating only on the outlook of L3000, I've heard several L3000/G (3 or 4 don't remembered), as well as some R10 & Q010, some got heavy bass and sound muddy. Not sure because of previous usage or S/N or both. If there is an opportunity I would suggest an audition before purchasing it.

I had my L3000 modded to detachable 3.5mm ports in cups. Such an upgrade in quality of life (hated the janky fixed stock cable). The ability to plug any high end after-market custom cables at will is liberating
