August 17, 200719 yr comment_44100 Superb Cert Diamonds They've got awesome hearts and arrows diamonds and their online documents and photos are the best I've seen. I bought from them. Vatche offers some very nice settings and they manufacturer the Tiffany Lucida setting, which is similar to the Vatche X-Prong. Pricescope is a really good diamond forum. Report
August 17, 200719 yr comment_44108 And due to living in apartments for the next few years, I won't be able to enjoy a full out speaker setup, so I'll just save for now. I have a big rock to buy relatively soon. "Honey everyone knows a cubic zirconium looks just like a real diamond".......honest! Report
August 17, 200719 yr Author comment_44112 C'mon, the L3000 are a WAY better investment than a diamond That's because diamonds shouldn't be an investment If you want to invest might as well just invest, good money can still be made. this is what jb mean: Grabbing some Be South 16 now Report
August 20, 200719 yr Author comment_44672 Are there any other L3000 + Zana Deux owners? mulveling sent me a PM, so looking forward to his impressions. Anyone else? Report
August 20, 200719 yr comment_44711 as I am well aware. I havemy eyes on a few, but who knows since a speaker upgrade is about 5 years out. Report
August 20, 200719 yr comment_44714 Day 4 since I'm left without my L3000s, am beginning to see things that aren't there... Report
August 20, 200719 yr comment_44715 Are there any other L3000 + Zana Deux owners? mulveling sent me a PM, so looking forward to his impressions. Anyone else? I don't own the ZD, but I've heard that combo on a few of occasions. I've heard that Craig is working on a new design that's not only a headphone amp, but also drives speakers, which he has been working on as well and they are based on the Moth Cicada design. Report
August 21, 200719 yr comment_44812 you can get pretty damn good speakers for that money, as i'm finding out. Indeed, I've recently purchased a pair of Triangle Stratos Luna 260 speakers (93 dB/W/m). At $2400 they were a bargain. They're the most detailed dynamic speakers I've ever heard with a very flat bass response but also with a treble spike from 14-20 kHz. I will try to drive them directly from my SP amp when I receive it. At my low listening levels, it will have plenty of power (72 dB(A) at listening position is borderline uncomfortable to me). Report

September 1, 200719 yr comment_47265 Woohoo for headphones as an investment! Not that I'd ever want to sell them, at least based on how I feel when listening to them (like now). Report
September 1, 200719 yr comment_47267 Woohoo for headphones as an investment! Not that I'd ever want to sell them, at least based on how I feel when listening to them (like now). Yeah, same here. I have a gut feeling that the L3000 must be peaking in value right around now. No way I'm selling mine, though But really, is there anything better than enjoying something so much, that doesn't go down in value? Report
September 1, 200719 yr Author comment_47271 That headband on that pair is bent out pretty far? Mine rest in the closed position when they're off my head, and that's what every other pair I've seen looked like as well. Report
September 1, 200719 yr comment_47273 As is mine. That is pretty odd that they would be so far apart. Report
September 1, 200719 yr comment_47276 Hehehe... Yes they fell off my head when I first got them.... fortunately the band is malleable/semi-adjustable and I got them back to what I assume is 'regular' Report
September 1, 200719 yr comment_47277 that is some serious divide between those earpads--abnormal \ Report
September 1, 200719 yr comment_47284 the leather is so amazing on those.. fucking AT knows how to do a nice set of cans forsure! Report
September 1, 200719 yr comment_47364 Just got them back from Alex this morning: http://apuresound.com/images/cables/hl3000.html Mine is the one on the left. Goddamn I've missed these headphones, but can't listen for long because of the Cal vs. Tenessee game. Go Bears! Report
September 2, 200719 yr comment_47476 The most noticeable differences between the stock cable and Alex's cable lie in bass impact and treble sparkle. Alex's cable makes the L3000s hit even harder, such that kick drums have, well, more kick. The treble seem to have gained a small bit of sparkle, so it's a little bit more open sounding. The L3000s aren't claustrophobic to begin with, but any more treble clarity is welcomed. By the way these opinions are formed while listening to them balanced; I haven't done a balanced-vs-single-ended comparison using Alex's adaptor yet. Report
September 7, 200718 yr comment_48856 i inquired about them, but i probably can't afford it...my thin skin has me looking at other headphones now that i've heard my k1k isn't good for metal Report
