I see nothing crazy there Rob. (but consider it's coming from me). Glad you're sticking around...you're definitely one of the good guys around here.
Well Skylab, I kind of saw it coming. I've noticed over the past year or so you have been off loading a lot of headphone gear. Once I saw you sold the he6 and later the leben both of which I know you loved(especially the leben) I could see what direction you were going in. I totally get it though. After acquiring both my heavily modded acoustats and especially the quad esl 57 that I restored, I just don't listen to cans much myself anymore. For the first time in several years I'm down to only two cans. I spend at least 80% of my time listening to speakers. I'm dead set on keeping both my he6 and w3000 and sometimes I find myself listening to cans just to remind myself at how good they both are. But I don't get nearly the enjoyment I get from listening to either pairs of my esl speaker rigs. Heck I even have my Mac 6200 forsale since I use it exclusively as a headphone amp.
it's a mid-centric can with an n shaped frequency response. it won't sound like a denon, hd800 or t1.
Hah, I remember posting in that thread that I agreed with you on the L3000 impressions you have. I'd love an L3000 for rock music, the kind of presentation that I enjoy. The LFF Enigmas I own are similarly fun rock headphones, but loses a bit of the magical mids I enjoy from AT tuning.
Just got my first couple of hairline scratches that i can see with my glasses and a flashlight. Had to happen, not me though. My wife moved them from where they were hanging for protection and but them in a cushioned bag. She didn't have a clue though and stuffed the cord in with them, i think it gave them the scratches. I cringed and gave her a bit of grief, she hasn't a clue…..thought i was being so good and protective, they were mint. Sheeesh! Painful.
I am thinking about trying the mod, but IIRC, alpha pads are not round as the W3000 is. Does it look bad with alpha pads? Could someone please post a picture of the W3000 with alpha pads?
Thanks!
