Wonderful thank you very much! I've just asked my seller for photos of the paper, so I'll get them up. I doubt you'll be able to make anything out but I will make sure to take some very high resolution shots when I get them.

Tested on my laptop using wireless, so it's a bit slower My upload is sort of accurate. My download is good for at least 7 mbps

Thanks (and I really appreciate your help in trying to locate one, the good karma will come back around ) If you do call up Cardas there is a good chance you'll talk to someone in the family so they might know. This could be a custom job, I know Cardas has made a custom Golden Reference HD650 cable for someone. When I spoke to my seller on the phone I'm pretty sure he mentioned that the Cardas pamphlet mentioned the AT name and L3000 in there. We did spend a lot of time on the phone talking about random stuff, so I'll be able to give you my definitive answer (and pictures) when it gets here.

The things I do for you guys (and only because I love you) perhaps Dusty Chalk and tkam can weigh in on the issue.

They were bought brand new from a European dealer, and they've never been recabled. The Cardas pamphlet is in Japanese and came with the headphones. I have pictures of the cable it's the same shoelace cable that I've seen on every stock L3000, with the exact same silver colored connector with gold plating. I'll upload them when I can get on my desktop. If it were recabled then it must have been done officially by the dealer. Do you guys have the Connolly hand signed document as well? I understand these things get lost, so I wouldn't be surprised if most people didn't get the Cardas pamphlet unless they were first owners or bought from owners that kept everything.

Yup it is. I was a little shocked and asked him twice on the phone. The stock cable is Cardas, and comes with the Cardas documentation papers.

Cables that come with stock (unmodified) headphones.

I'm not very experienced with rolling this amp, but my favs are the Amperex Orange Globe A frames. Be careful buying 6DJ8/7DJ8/7308 tubes off ebay, they're incredibly popular preamp tubes and thus there are many counterfeits.

So my hopes of finding an L3000 have become a reality, I'm getting a pair in minty mint condition with all its goodies. My watch plans are officially on hold :'( \ I should have them very soon. I never knew this, but the seller told me they come with Cardas cabling? Interesting that no one has mentioned that before, this could be the most extravagant cable used on a stock headphone?

The Dynahi should be able to drive a K340.

I've never seen them outside Disneyland/world or the NYC subway sellers. I need to looker harder I think. But they're delic.

What high $ OTL amps are you referring to?

This is Sparta!!!! (no headphone amps for the K1000)

K1000

Good thinking. It's going to be sent by EMS, so I'll give them a call as well.

Marcel Duchamp's Fountain.

I'm planning on receiving a package from overseas. I've received packages from Europe in the past, and never been charged anything (UPS/EMS just drops it off). But I want to be certain as it's a high dollar item and will be insured (thus having its real value on the package). I thought I'd ask here before I called US Customs. Pretty sure this doesn't mean anything but we have no state sales tax. Thanks guys.

woops, meant to edit my last post, not quote

You can get Lost season 1 and 2 for $40 and $46 respectively from deepdiscountdvd.com I believe there is a 20% off coupon floating around until mid June. But it might not apply to TV shows.

Yeah but thats $50 for a bit over 17 hours of TV per season. Season three isn't out on DVD yet. And public trackers blow.

Nice impressions. The Dynahi is a great value on the used market.

How do you like the amp? How does it compare to your PPX SLAM or Melos?

IMO the K1000/Pass amps really benefit from a tube pre.

Try out some IEMs out of the ZD and see if you pick up the hum in the left channel. I bought a set of tubes for my Melos off ebay (a deal too good to be true) and it turned out one of the tubes was making a very soft channel hum with the HP-2, which became much more obvious when I plugged IEMs in. It changed channels when I swapped the same tubes around to different sockets.

I just tried out Red Orchestra online. The game is bananas, takes realism to a whole different level.
