I love this

So I haven't had a lot of free time to chime in on here but the Aegis is amazing and I LOVE it. Compared to the HA-300 mkii the big difference with my load out so far has been how those amps deal with space. I feel like the HA-300 felt a bit deeper front to back, whereas the Aegis is a bit more...

Oh this is a great idea. I've never thought of a name tag with headfi name haha. I'm in SoCal and my dad usually flies in from the east coast and we go together. I've probably talked to some of you IRL and not known it. I'm gonna work on my name tag for SoCal CanJam.

I just got the touring Grand Tourer today. Initial impression is very positive. I'm not always into super clean solid state sound as more of a tube amp guy, but I really am enjoying the flavor of this Burson. Definitely the best volume adjustment ever. The crossed feature is nice for earlier...

I'm so woefully late on my review of the Pietus, but I'm just checking in here and saying it sounds really nice with Caldera Closed. Very natural pairing.

Since we are talking Nitsch I'll add that the Caldera Closed sounds really good on the Pietus Maximus. I was surprised out how great of a pairing they seem to be.

The Nitsch Jar600 sounds amazing. I listened to it for a while on the Nitsch DSHA-3FN and it was fabulous. Really pushes what 600 series can do. I definitely like the 660s2 over the 6xx. All. 600 series are classics on a good amp. I have only heard the soft wood types at CanJam. I have an...

The new Caldera Closed is very good. It has a lot of types of tunings you can push it in via pads and mesh. I love the AC and Bokeh, but the Caldera Closed may be my favorite closed back now. I really want to check out the E3. I used to love my Dan Clark Aeon Closed RT from Drop. Glad that Dan...

Does anyone have any recommendations for cool audio stack furniture for amps? I'm considering moving them off of my desk if I can find something tasteful. Also thinking I may need a cool headphone wall situation lol. Maybe there is a forum on here for audio furniture hacks, but it seems like a...

Oh I'll add that a brand that gets a lot of love in my research is Puritan. I wanted to try that but sprung for the Decware one instead because I'm a fan of Decware. I still have both the PowerPlant and Decware here but I was going to send the Decware back in because my HA-300 just drew too much...

I've tried the Decware Zen line conditioner and the PS Audio PowerPlant. Do you suspect you have a lot of noise on your line? So far my experience has been that is the last thing I'd concern myself in the chain. I'm currently using the PowerPlant because the Zen didn't work with my HA-300mk II...

Oh heyyy everyone :wave: Nice new thread @goldwerger! I'm sitting here tonight listening to Aegis and Caldera Closed. Stellar combination. Eventually I'll try to do another involved review of the Caldera Closed, but it is actually a really nice compliment to the Caldera Open. I think the tuning...

Looking for a tube compatibility list for the Aegis. I feel like I saw one at some point, but now I've lost it. Anyone have one handy in their clipboard?

Rob was a great seller. He went out of his way to fix an issue with a tube. I would definitely buy from him again!

I'm watching Fallout right now and these art deco accents have some real vault dweller flare. I'd like to lounge back with a Nuka Cola and sink into some tube magic.

I’m very excited to try the ZMF Palladium. I recently had an issue with my beloved WyWire Platinum. It was just from constant use not below average cable durability. Just wanted to say how great Alex at WyWire was about it. He fixed it up and sent it back better than ever. It’s so nice when...

Great seller. Item came packed in original box and in great condition. Thanks!

I can’t wait to hear this DAC at some point. I tend to strongly agree with GoldenSound’s taste in audio gear and I appreciate his thoughtfulness. I’ve met him at CanJam and he is genuinely a nice person. Furthermore, the folks at Ferrum seem like hardworking and talented engineers that aren’t...

Great tip. I'm going to test this one out! I wish I was skilled with a sewing machine so I could experiment with weird pad ideas.

It sounds like I’m sure the amp upgrades are super impressive, but yeah just going up to those Elrogs I’m sure does a lot too. I’m using regular Elrog 300b in my Cayin HA-300 mk ii and it is pretty godly. Between that and the ZMF Aegis I have a lot of envy for you east coasters who got to test...

Can’t wait to read more impressions on Caldera Closed. The tuning seems like it is exactly what I was hoping for! Very excited.

All the diehard Hifiman pipe organ bass heads just dropped out... I'd love to hear how those pads bring in some more low end impact on a Susvara. That is my main gripe with Susvara vs Caldera.

I'm a big fan of that Zebra wood with the oil finish. Very nice combo.
