August 17, 200718 yr 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.
August 17, 200718 yr 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!
August 17, 200718 yr Author 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
August 20, 200718 yr Author Are there any other L3000 + Zana Deux owners? mulveling sent me a PM, so looking forward to his impressions. Anyone else?
August 20, 200718 yr as I am well aware. I havemy eyes on a few, but who knows since a speaker upgrade is about 5 years out.
August 20, 200718 yr Day 4 since I'm left without my L3000s, am beginning to see things that aren't there...
August 20, 200718 yr 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.
August 21, 200718 yr 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).

September 1, 200718 yr 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).
September 1, 200718 yr 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?
September 1, 200718 yr Author 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.
September 1, 200718 yr 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'
September 1, 200718 yr the leather is so amazing on those.. fucking AT knows how to do a nice set of cans forsure!
September 1, 200718 yr 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!
September 2, 200718 yr 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.
September 7, 200718 yr 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
