How about a Qualia 3000?
Provided that it would be possible.
Would you be interested to buy one or let Larry mod your 010?

I would be interested, if the known 010 problems would be solved.

what 010 problems ? Headband ?

 

[jjcha]

Not really... but my 010 fit me perfectly, so no complaints regarding them "as-is" here.

The, for some, very difficult positioning, and the related sonic catastrophes.
And the 1k USD pads replacement.

Kurt, I hope you're not seriously thinking about buying a pair of Qualias yourself. If not, I know you're going to end up with a pair anyways. Just think strongly about how nice it would be to actually have the Qualia 010

I knew it wasn't a good idea that you took the SA5000 with you. Marcel must have planned this from the very beginning. I think remember something about a pair of Grado SR-80 ...

But seriously, you'll probably have to consider that there'll be no more warranty and I'm not so sure about the resale value either. I trust Larry's work but this is a $2,500 headphone after all.

Well, I don't think the CD3000 enclosure will benefit the Qualias as much as a K1000, to be honest.

what does the Q3000 look like iv never heard of them. does anyone have a pic?

Yeah, because of that SR-80 I bought a RS-1 and a PS-1. And now the Sony route. All part of his plan, I am sure.
This little devil.

Not if he could buy just the drivers somewhere.

As much as I admire Larrys work I can't help but be reminded of the saying "you can't polish a turd".

 

[sahwnfras]

Yes, that's the idea.
But this thread is a interest check. It *is* not yet.

Hey careful. Or the Qualia mafia will pay you a visit.

I voted YES. my thinking is A)If the sound is improved then why not and more importantly B)they are not mine anyways.
