For sale is a ZMF Pendant (OG)
Originally purchased in September, 2020
Price:
$1,700 + Shipping (likely $80 - $150 in CONUS)
I will cover the 3% PayPal Fee
What is Included:
OPTIONAL add-ons (show in last photo):
These tubes can also be purchased independent of the amp
Tube roller's delight: All optional add-ons for $125 ($75 off $200)
I'm happy to talk any prospective buyer through the sound characteristics of the above tubes.
Summary:
I absolutely love this amp, and it's hard to let it go. This one has hung around longer than most items I move on from, as I have waffled back and forth between selling this or my Woo WA5-LE. It's gone as far as me actually having had the WA5 set aside to photograph and pack up. They're both fantastic amps, and I like them pretty much equally; they're just different. In the end, I cannot keep both. So, in what is very much a 51/49 decision between the two, I have decided to offer the Pendant for sale.
It is extremely even-handed up and down the frequency range, with excellent air, control, and detail retreival. It also has a nice, deep soundstage and offers very holographic imaging. It responds well to tube rolling, and most certainly benefits from Zach's NOS upgrade tubes, or variations of the optional upgrades, to taste.
I will also accept returns for 14 days after delivery should you experience any functional defects.

Happy shopping! I'd be glad to hop on the phone for anyone with questions about tube characteristics and potentials synergies, so just PM me with any such request. Just remember that my chain is not yours, so experiences will vary.
