Thanks for hosting the meet rifi! Was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Great meet as always! It was nice seeing the gang again! Thanks Rifi for hosting, and thanks to the ppl that brought the yummy foods!

I can bring the Aeolus to the meet! And I can try to bring the AGD R28

Yes I still have both, can bring those to the meet.

Hey folks! I’m available anytime on the weekend of the 13th. Anyone have requests for specific equipment you would like me to bring?

Happy New Year!

My new Aeolus LTD Camphor Burl with rose gold grille and rods! I love the burl chatoyance and the lovely rose gold color works so well with the rest of the headphone.

Ooh I love the Camphor Burl Aeolus!!

Thanks for hosting a great meet Rifi! The two channel stuff was a real highlight. :) Good to see everyone again!

Oh yes, you’re right the 8th is on Sunday!

Unfortunately the Rag is out at the moment , but I can bring the Liquid Crimson. Also, I do have a Massdrop Airist R2R DAC for sale, if anyone is interested, I can bring that to the meet.

I completely forgot it was *this* Sunday! Does anyone have any specific requests for gear? (Edit fixed date so as not to confuse people)

I will be there for the 4th!

I find the Master 9 doesn’t have as much slam as my other amp the Violectric V281 (both being attached to the same DAC)

I thought Neutrik XLR connectors were the professional standard.

Apparently now there is only one NOS mode.

http://audio-gd.com/R2R/R282019/R28_tdaEN.htm I might give it a try later, although I really enjoy the V2 sound from the R28.

I’ll definitely try to make it if I can!

Together at last! Aeolus arrived today

Definitely not bass light. If you come from the Atticus you’ll miss that mid bass hump. Coming from an Auteur the Verite does have a more richer sound. Is it dark? Well this one is interesting. I have the pheasantwood Verite. My system was tuned for the Auteur , with Audio GD DAC on NOS...

I wouldn't say its night and day no, but I found the R28 sound was a touch flat and also, with my Atticus it gave it a slightly tizzy upper end, which the M9 also fixed. The M9 has just a more powerful sound which gels really well with the ZMF headphones.

I have the exact same system R28 -> Master 9 and I can tell you the amp of the M9 is improved over the amp in the R28 (its essentially a NFB-1 inside the R28). You will notice more dynamics and the sound has more gestalt than the R28 alone, at least for he headphones that I use. Also make...

From preliminary listening, the Verite gels really well with my solid state amps! Although the Liquid Crimson does take it to another level!

The Verite has arrived to join my ZMF collection!
