Part of me misses the PM-3 from time to time. It didn’t do anything wrong, which in the headphone world is often better than doing many things right.

I love the PM-3s. I use them every day. They do great with vocals imo.

HD6XX will prob continue to be my main pair when I'm at my computer listening station though PM-3 scaled very nicely from the HA-2 to the RPi-Modi Multibit-Vali 2 setup. Gonna try the Oppo setup for coffee shop/travel/airplane.

I use my pm-3 balanced as my portable daily driver. I would have a really difficult time going without it. The pm-3 Sounds noticeably different balanced

Totally different how? I think the toneality is pretty nice SE. What source are you using?

Not totally different, just noticeable. I have used it with a 2.5 mm Jack on my astell & Kern players, and my current Fiio X7 mk ii. It opens up the sound stage a bit, and the bass seems even better controlled. And while they retain their warmth, to me they seem a little less thick

Fwiw, I got my balanced cable from surf cables

Why are they not for sale anymore, the only new ones I can find are $500 plus. Didn't they used to be like $399?

@spwath, looks like you can get them at audio advisor for that price. The third-party retailers on Amazon are gouging

You can also still buy them directly from Oppo.

Amazon gets them on and off for the standard retail price. Yeah, I don’t understand why there are some asking $600 or up sometimes on EBay and Amazon. Doesn’t make sense to me
