Okay, second order of business...
I've occasionally shared my experiences going to Chicago Head-Fi meets. One of my favorite things is getting to meet Zach from ZMF and try his headphones. We've chatted quite a bit. He's even stopped by the lab a few times to drop a couple lines. The poor guy might even subscribe if the thread didn't move at as fast of a pace as it does, LOL! Zach and I have discussed a opportunity to tour a pair of his cans. I've even gone as far as shooting some PMs to some of you guys to see if you would be interested.
At the last meet I attended, I fell in love with the Omni. Matter of fact I was doing an A-B comparison between them and what I consider to be the best headphone I've ever heard, the LCD3. While I do still feel the LCD3 was a little better, the Omni was no slouch! Tuning was similar, with the LCD3 being just a little bit sonically superior.
Zach and I discussed pricing on them, and discussed what cups (different cups equal different sound) sounded best. I told him that if I were to guess which one would be most universally popular or TOUR, the best it would be the walnut cups.
Well guys, I got an AWESOMESAUCE surprise the other day. Come to find out, Zach made a custom pair of cans for a Labster tour! Don't believe me? Check it out!
They are shipping to me as I type this. I just want to say that immediately upon hearing this I told him I'm buying them. There's a sentimental aspect and story behind these things that already makes them the most favorite pair of headphones I will have to date. I'm going to spend some time with them, write a review, and then tour them with my Labster buddies.
If you are interested in getting a chance to sample these awesome cans, please drop me a PM. What I ask is that if you are interested, requirements are that you are a participant on the thread and have at least five reviews posted. I will give 10 days for each guy, with each guy responsible for shipping it to the next person on the list. Sorry guys, USA and Canada only due to shipping fees and waiting times. Guys, for this one I do ask that you post a review on them. I think Zach was very generous to provide us with this touring pair, that's the least we can do.
So, if you are interested in getting a shot at these beautiful beasts, drop me a line!
Cheers!
