But Alex, you promised we'd have one and that means that Leeav has to come and as long as we're having two over, why not a few more? Just kidding big guy, I'm desperately searching for a life right now, but not finding it! Or at least not enough time to enjoy it. I bet my L-3000's don't have 2 hours on them yet and an hour of the time so far was them breaking in without me listening to them...

Leeav,

What's the problem here? you seem to have a spot of dyslexia in the case of the L-3000's, you keep putting them in the wrong order in your lists?

The L3000 keeps sounding better and better to me; I was borrowing it for several weeks and within that time (about 250 hours or so) it improved dramatically. Then, after hearing it with Alex's Gilmore Reference I was even more impressed. It always sounded better than the W2002 but I never realized how impressive it really is. While I still prefer my balanced HD650/Zu, the R10, K1000, Qualia and HE90, it is certainly up there at number 6 in my book. I would dare say that the L3000 is the best sealed can that I've heard other than the R10 (and it can be had for half the price of the wooden Sony too). I'm down for yet another meet if you are, Greg!

well, it should... being that the drivers were replaced and new. sounds much better than when I first got it back from repairs.

I'm kinda new to the headphone world, so I hope you don't mind me asking. What is the purpose of these meets? I attend Cal, and I see that there a lot of meets in the bay area. Thanks.

At HeadFi meets you :-

* meet people
* eat funky cuisine
* eat more food
* do a little listening and a LOT of talking
* come back to HeadFi and post pictures and pointless vague comments (J/K)
* create a path that will flush out your bank balance into the hands of us greedy manufacturers

LOL

What Guru said!

 

[ayt999]

* let others listen to gear that they otherwise probably cannot listen to
* stand there not listening to anything but rather talking to people (interrupting their headphone listening) and taking pictures of everything
* avoid getting pictures taken with odd-looking headphones (K1000 with flaps wide open, Cheesy phones, Floats...)
* get equipment that you loaned out returned
* etc.

at least that's what I do.

You know me man, just busting your chops 'cause, well, someone has to. Strangely enough I've been in a rather Sennheiser mood lately. The 650 sounds realllly good with the Meridian and the 588...
