Nanoha Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 They're more comparable to the Omega 2 (driven by a good amp). The L3000 is much better than the SR-404. They're better than both older Lambdas as well (not sure about the Nova Sig). Sorry, got a little confused here. Which two are you saying are better than the older Lambdas?
deepak Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 Sorry, got a little confused here. Which two are you saying are better than the older Lambdas? L3000
Nanoha Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 L3000 *slaps self* Yeah. What about the other one?
deepak Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 *slaps self* Yeah. What about the other one? What other one? Sorry it probably should have read as "it's" (singular) rather than "they're" if that's what is causing the confusion
Nanoha Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 Sorry it probably should have read as "it's" (singular) rather than "they're" if that's what is causing the confusion *slaps self again* Oh oh oh. Right right. Gotcha, I get it now. Sorry about the confusion.
deepak Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 I keep thinking of headphones as "pairs" And I have no idea why, it's not like I'm an R10 owner
darkless Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 I keep thinking of headphones as "pairs" And I have no idea why, it's not like I'm an R10 owner Haha, golden comment. Thanks for your opinions guys. I still have a vague hope that my "to-be-delivered-when-hell-freezes-and-pigs-fly" amp from Singlepower will be able to bump the L3000 up to the top tier. Hey, I can always dream, right?
Elephas Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Hello everyone! This forum feels like some sort of parallel world - all the names are familiar yet something is unsettling and different! ; p Be careful, many members have dual personalities and are meaner here! I still have a vague hope that my "to-be-delivered-when-hell-freezes-and-pigs-fly" amp from Singlepower will be able to bump the L3000 up to the top tier I don't expect to receive my balanced Singlepower amp until June 2008. In the meantime, the L3000 w/APureSound V3 cable is sounding very good, almost as good as the SR-007 (oops, hope this isn't the Stax thread).

Nanoha Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 I just realized something funny. You would expect that in a Grado (or Ultrasone or whatever) thread, there would be Sennheiser hate. But in a Stax stat thread, there is a lack of serious Sennheiser 'stat hate. Or maybe I'm just oblivious to what is going on.
Elephas Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 This is the Stax thread and your in trouble now.... Oh, no! Wait! Please... don't tase me bro! I can give my SR-Omega as an offering... I don't think it's possible to hate the HE60 and HE90. Also, I don't understand heavy dislike of the SR-007. Saying it is a bit dark, yes, but other than that I can't think of anything bad about it.
spritzer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 I really do like the He60 and while I find the He90 to be overrated and insanely priced it is a very good headphone. I can give my SR-Omega as an offering... So you found one?? Congrats!!
Elephas Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Hehe, it's a secret. Not sure yet if I'll be able to get it. No way I'm telling you two crazies (Icarium & spritzer). For the record, I think those two and purk are completely bonkers. Makes me feel normal.
spritzer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 From didlwgh or someone else ? ;p He has sold his and the new owner should have them soon and it is not our baby elephant... Hehe, it's a secret. Not sure yet if I'll be able to get it. No way I'm telling you two crazies (Icarium & spritzer). For the record, I think those two and purk are completely bonkers. Makes me feel normal. I hope you do get a set. It's a shame the replacement parts look nothing like the stock ones.... Me... bonkers.....? Say it ain't so!!!
deepak Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Be careful, many members have dual personalities and are meaner here! Ugh please stop whining about this \ It lost its "cuteness" a really long time ago.
mirumu Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 I just realized something funny. You would expect that in a Grado (or Ultrasone or whatever) thread, there would be Sennheiser hate. But in a Stax stat thread, there is a lack of serious Sennheiser 'stat hate. Or maybe I'm just oblivious to what is going on. That's probably because the Sennheiser 'stats are genuinely good. There will always be preference involved but as Spritzer says, it seems impossible to hate the HE90 or HE60. Certainly in my experience with the HE60 they're very pleasant and fun to listen to and are currently one of the two headphones I'd most like to own. I haven't yet liked any Sennheiser dynamics I've heard, those I have truly sound bad to me so I guess I can understand some of the issue there. I haven't heard the HD600 or HD650 though and I have an open mind to their charms. After all, I know Sennheiser can make great headphones given their 'stats.
Nanoha Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Ugh please stop whining about this \ It lost its "cuteness" a really long time ago. Don't worry about it. That has always been his personality.
mirumu Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 so, in other words, you haven't really listened to dynamic Sennheisers. Yes, pretty much. I tend not to comment on Sennheiser dynamics purely because I know I haven't heard their best. I don't doubt for a moment they're a big step up. My problem has always been that I've had friends who say things like "If you want good headphones just get some Sennheisers" or "Anyone with taste knows Sennheisers are the best". They then proceed to force their HD201s or HD555s, etc on me and are not impressed when I try to tactfully say they sound like the sonic equivalent of dog turds. Seems to me cheap Sennheisers in New Zealand are like Bose in the US. I know Carl has experienced much the same since we tend to have friends in the same circles. I couldn't possibly dislike Sennheiser though after hearing the HE60s.
spritzer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 There isn't much there to begin with and those that like the 650 are high on crack. The 600 can be ok from amps that compensate for its faults but my 1978 Fostex T-50 is a much better phone if you look past the comfort. Damn orthos and their flat pads.
postjack Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 There isn't much there to begin with and those that like the 650 are high on crack. [me=postjack]pulls deeply on his blazin' hot stem[/me]
JBLoudG20 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 [me=postjack]pulls deeply on his blazin' hot stem[/me] Whoa, keep that to yourself.
spritzer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 i think you have it backwards. Nope, I'm pretty sure I'm correct on that one. Still it's not as bad as the 555 which I gave a friend so I'd get it out of my sight...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 i think you have it backwards.People who are high on crack like the 650's?
