Same here. It's good for music that doesn't go beyond the midrange. The other BS I here tooted all the time is "they're high end you need to system match". System match with tubes that roll off everything after 7K Khz?

But WCIII has no withdrawal effects when you stop playing

Happy birthday, I'll celebrate for you tonight

Warcraft III/TFT FTW

-AT L3000 -Mike Fremer's vinyl setup DVD (pretty damn good, and long!) -stock HD650 cable Just this afternoon picked up a 6 pack of Stella and a 30 rack of Bud Lite, and some Cape Cod chips. Also got a haircut

Wata their sexy guitar goddess. edit: they're a three piece band. PS every Boris fan needs to get Rainbow.

In the Extreme thread Mikhail recommended the 5998 for Senns, and the 6080 for Grados. I assume this is analogous to high/low Z respectively. Someone compiled an Excel spreadsheet with tube combos/headphone synergy in the amp forum at Headfi. Worth a download- a few L3000 owners commented.

Why not the best combination? The output tubes not that great, or you need a higher gain driver?

There was one listed a few days ago. The seller hasn't bumped the thread yet, can't remember the asking price.

Do you like the Melvins? Similar to them (sludge/stoner rock) except Boris is a bit more diverse album to album. Pink is their most popular album. And probably their best.

These headphones were invented for Boris

Is this is like a fanboy fierce_freak: I agree there's something about the tone and timbre that just throws me off. When did you get a CD3000? Do you find the fit a bit loose? Any movements and I can feel them sliding back and forth.

The L3000 has eaten up and spit out everything I've thrown at it. These are one of the most natural sounding headphones I've heard.

Definitely use the plugin. The program is bloated, slow, buggy from what I've read. You can get the plugin from their website under downloads, foobar2000 plugin. Just run the .exe which basically places the .dll file in the components directory, then go to preferences and enter your last.fm username and password.

The next time it happens can you copy and paste what it says in the console? It sounds like it's an issue with the upsampler rather than the last.fm plugin. Or the two are conflicting somehow. Is it the last.fm plugin for foobar? Or is it the player addon? Because nothing should popup when foobar starts up with the basic last.fm plugin. In fact you'd be none the wiser if it wasn't submitting tracks unless you looked at the console.

Thanks for the impressions Hirsch. I've done a lot of back and forth with the L3000, and the L3000 wins every time with my amp. The CD3000 has an interesting soundstage, but I wouldn't call it accurate.

Unsure if he's registered here or not, but he has a green one Does anyone know how much they sold for new? I read all of chefguru's thread which references the green ones, and everyone keeps mentioning MSRP, but no one actually types the price.

It seems their server was down from Sunday to Tuesday, I had around 200 tracks cached. But I too don't have any problems using the latest foobar and the plugin from the last.fm site.

Sorry to hear that Earl I've never had a pet, but I can't imagine what it feel like to lose one. Hope you're having a better day today.

It sounds wonderful with the Melos. I really don't have a single complaint about the midrange (which was my biggest worry) with my Orange Globe tubes. They just sound very balanced, although slightly leaning towards the darker side. But I'll take that over piercing highs. I'll copy and paste a bit more impressions: edit: oh yes this should be mentioned: on my setup the bass is quite balanced. It has a lot of bass impact (kickdrums sound better than all my other headphones including the CD3000) but has less bass than a stock DT770/80pro. The bass is a bit more than the HD650 in quantity (but much tighter and textured). My DAC is quite dynamic, combine that with these headphones and it makes for a very enjoying listen. I'm also very picky about the midrange and these headphones nail it. Electric guitars just sound so sweet and crunchy. I'd take my K1000 over them for female vocals, but male vocals sound great.

(excuse the artificial lighting, better pictures when I feel like it) These are without a doubt the king of rock. They're on par with the HP-2 on jazz, but bested by the K1000 for most (just my preference)

Happy birthday

Cool I see where you're coming from. I have some Amperex tubes in my amp, so that definitely helps in sweetening the midrange.

Definitely not true about the SA being a remake of the CD series. They're really not that detailed. I don't think the midrange is that recessed, save for the upper mids. And the sound definitely isn't thin on my setup. What were the associated components you heard it with and for how long? And was it at a meet? What are your headphones you're using as a reference? On Headfi it says KSC75 and K81DJ?
