First listening with a W5000 which that have arrived... very, very nice!!
Hello,
congrats for the W5000.
Could you please quickly compare the W5000 and the AD2000 ? Are these complementary ?
I alway thought that the sound quality between a medium amp and a TOTL amp should not be far off because of diminishing returns. Today I know I was totally wrong. Before I continue I like to stated that I quite a noob in terms of amplifiers.
I am a little hesitant to get ha5000 as they don't sell it in Singapore which mean I have to import it. Since I like audio-technica's headphones so much, I figured that I should get AT-HA5000. It is another blind buy like my ad2000 and w5000.
HA5000 is very versatile as it can push 1mW if I'm not mistaken . At the moment due to convenience of multiple outputs i'm driving through it W5000 and Ella Blue Planar Mags and i do not feel like it restricts Ellas in any way.
Is your avatar picture your ath-w5000? It very shiny. Very curious, wouldn't polishing remove the lettering?
If you're very careful it won't. Patience and small steps.
I fully agree about some songs - in my collection it is like 4- 5 songs with female vocals that do sound strange and somehow "processed". The rest is absolutely great. Funny that some find wings not comfortable - for me on the other hand this is more comfortable than AKG system.
Have you seen this ?Hello,
anybody did a comparison between w5000 and the new ath awkt soundwise?
I am curious to learn more about similarities / differences?
I noticed this is an old thread, but hoping there are some audio technica fans out there who are able to share their insight!
