For context, I also listen louder than Purk. That's where the OG R10 bass kinda falls apart for me in keeping up with harder hitting fast paced rock. It would be much better at more moderate levels. The ES-R10 can take the pain in stride though. And the L3000 doing it can be a thing of beauty.More power to you brother. I listen to more acoustics, jazz, vocal, pop, classical, and some classic rock and the OG R10 is definitely my cup of tea.
I miss your extra bass-heavy pair, why did you sell thoseI miss my old L3000!
Where do you live? I am sending someone over…..I had one time 8 HD800. It is a great modding can.
And its 3 L3000 lol. One is in a box, tuck away. Its a special one. Lets say the color is rare
I wonder if theres a pic of it close by? up to the right? or down? or left? not sure...
What?!?! Extra bass version? Why don’t you u just turn the Mega Bass function on your Sony MD player on?I miss your extra bass-heavy pair, why did you sell those

lol! I got to start keeping pics to a minimum and start deleting postWhere do you live? I am sending someone over…..
First real early WOW moment here with ES-R10 was sourced by my turntable off the main rig (even patched through an extra 2ch preamp). It's definitely a super duper fun listen with vinyl. I need to hook that up again soon. My main rig doesn't really have room to accommodate headphones, and the 2nd TT is currently being used for cartridge storage lol.had a fun 4-5 hour listening session last week where I connected my Naim Uniti HE to a friend's vinyl chain of Technics SL1200GR + Pass Aleph Ono phono and ran through several good LP's across a range of genre's.
ES R10 sounds pretty ridiculous off good vinyl - impact and staging somehow improve further. friend's main is HD800S and he found ES R10 easily better... we abandoned A/Bing those two in less than 30 minutes. He also preferred ES R10 to Utopia but that was more preferential - I noticed that Utopia didn't respond as much to vinyl vs. digital. it doesn't change character too much from it's super clean, detailed, impactful, mostly-neutral character whereas ES R10 seems more chameleon on given genre and recording.
