Moondrop in-ear monitors Impressions Thread
There is a TestFlight active for iOS version of Link 2.0, but don’t bother right now as it seems to be Bluetooth only. Does not detect the May no matter what I do. I have an Ambernic 405m that runs Android that I was able to sideload Link 2.0 on and it works with the May for now. Hopefully the...- BeelzAlBob

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
What would you call the AC king of in terms on genre? I’m on the fence on owning one given I already have AO and Caldera and don’t listen to bass-heavy genres.- BeelzAlBob

MOONDROP X CRINACLE DUSK NOW AVAILABLE
You can change the language to English if you play in the menu enough. However it does not detect my May set. So might be BT only.- BeelzAlBob

Astell & Kern Kann Ultra
The Universe leather pads are what made me fall in love with the Atrium. I experience this combo as what music sounds like in a live setting, especially vocal-focused and natural instrument music. For 90s alt rock, singer-songwriter, folk, doom metal, and other genres where voice, drums, guitar...- BeelzAlBob

Astell & Kern Kann Ultra
Surprised to see so little conversation around this fantastic DAP. I bought it to have an all-in-one portable solution to drive my IEMs and my ZMF Atrium and Caldera and it fits that purpose perfectly. All are driven with the heft and body I get from my SS desktop setup. I just picked up a DK1...- BeelzAlBob

FIIO first cassette player CP13 is officially released!
Just wanna say that I found a copy of STP - Core for 5 bucks at a record store, popped it into my CP13, plugged in my Porta Pros, and cleaned my house and it was like I was right back in 1992. Love it! :dt880smile:- BeelzAlBob

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
Make sure your clamping force isn’t too high. If the pads are compressed too much from the clamping force it can make the stage feel tiny or odd sounding and muddy the mid range.- BeelzAlBob

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
That’s a great call out. I have definitely had some unintentional knocks in the very beginning and now have a muscle memory of how high to lift the cup while changing out the pad. Will try this out.- BeelzAlBob

ZMF Atrium Closed - the latest closed back headphone from ZMF
Posting this here as it helped a couple people on the Bokeh thread. Wanted to quickly share my method for switching ZMF pads, as I continue to see folks struggling with this on all the different ZMF threads and this cuts the pad change time down to seconds. Please try this and let me know if it...- BeelzAlBob

The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones
I can echo this. I avoided tubes for a while as I didn’t expect the tangible benefit to be as drastic in all cases and wanted to stay away from the more fiddly aspects of tube exploration. I recently picked up a TC amp and some NOS tubes to play with and have very much enjoyed the experience so...- BeelzAlBob
