This thread might've turned out very differently if you made your original post with the intention of a serious discussion rather than an attack on 'audiophiles'. Once you start that kind of momentum in a discussion, it tends to keep going.

I support the banning. But before you get banned, you should sell your M3 to me for $200 or something.

Somebody said something very similar to me on instant messenger last night.

I'd buy your headphone rig on the cheap too.

Most of the people here are not trying to insult you. They're very much trying to be helpful, and suggesting to you that the SA5000 may not be for you is based on the impression that, while you seem to like them, there may be something better out there and you seem to have a desire to improve your listening experience. So, people suggest ways of accomplishing this. The headphones you've listened to aren't a particularly good representative sample of what's out there, so I don't understand why you're getting so indignant about someone suggesting you try something else. The SA5000 may be the best of what you've heard, but that doesn't necessarily entail that they're the best in this price range for you.

Anyhow, I can understand wanting to have the money around for other things, so I don't see your wanting to "downgrade" to have available funds as totally lacking sensibility. However, I do disagree with your treatment of the hobby and I think you're being a bit sophomoric about it. Various paths in this hobby hit seriously diminishing returns at different rates, and the one you took is probably one that reached a brick wall more quickly than some of the ones others have taken. Attending meets, macro or mini, can be really helpful in avoiding costly mistakes and maximising price/performance. From this thread, I've gotten the impression that your information-gathering methodology failed you in some manner. It doesn't look like the people who are advising you now are all the same as the people you talked to before. We have different views on what works, and so you're seeing that disagreement. Acting like we're a bunch of hypocrites for advising you different ways seems pretty senseless to me.

Anyhow, good luck with whatever decision you make.

Azure...


I recently had a demo of an m3 amp from a different builder at my house. I must say with all of my Grado's,Senn's,and sensa's I found the amp just annoying. The builder did a great job with the making of it but I think the probelm I had was the sound sig of the m3 design. I can relate to what your hearing off yours cause I had a very close impression of the m3 with different cans. Of course I personaly think the Sony 5k's are horrible also..but thats besides the point

what I would do is return the amp to sft no questions asked and try some other amp for you and your sony ways.

When I heard the sony's I remember thinking they need a messy and weighted tube amp to get them to their best, since the sonys are 70ohm's maybe try a ec-01 that drives 60-300ohm's?

well either way take my thoughts along with everyone elses with a grain of salt.
best of luck man!

Sorry, but all of that you are writing is bull, I say.

People are trying to help if you didn't notice. On the other hand, something you can't do is blame other people for your own decisions and actions.

I'm sorry you feel that bad, but seriously (and not trying to insult anyone), after all the really good advise from several headfiers that you got in this thread, your ungrateful response just brings to mind the wise and sad saying "Cast not your pearls before swine..."

I thought you were done here?

Good lord what is the point of this thread? The OP makes a post about his disappointment, and everyone tries to help him, but he just refuses to listen. Instead, he attacks us as being "crazy" and insinuate that we've all lost our minds and blown our money. I'm just wondering if the OP was really looking for advice to make his system better or just using it as a spring-board to bash on "audiophools".

We should just let this thread die, because it ain't going anywhere.

A lot of things from here on out may not be huge differences. Headphones are the biggest change and a lot of other changes require time to sink in. You need to be patient and listen closely... that's just the way it works.

everyone here already knew that.

@Mercuttio:

Dude, it's pointless to tell him that. He doesn't believe in listening patiently, because according to him, if you don't get WOWed with each and every single upgrade, that upgrade is a "disappointment". And he doesn't believe in actually just living with the system for a while and learn to appreciate its character. I frankly think that you are just wasting your time in trying to help him, good as your intentions are.

Yeah, I know you're right. Well, if he doesn't want to approach it that way, he may as well sell off all of his stuff to someone who can.
