    ZMF Caldera Closed

    These are great! What is the name of the colorway of the top one on the site?

    I don't think I ever toggle that switch off...

    Those are some fine headphone choices to pair with this amp. I think you'll be rather pleased!

    Oh, the Elrog tube is great. I loved it in other amps I have tried it in. For this application, it might have just come down to the combination of tubes I was using. It tended to sound more 'solid state' with what else I was trying out in the Decware. That can certainly be desirable! For me...

    Well, the past month or so has been spent tube rolling with this wonderful amplifier. I have been rather surprised at the dramatic differences some tubes have, it has been a joy to experiment! The first swap (aside from using the Emission Labs 5U4G or an Elrog 5U4G) was to slot in my Tung-sol...

    Do I need a 4th ZMF headphone? No. Will that stop me? Also no.

    I have both the 6BQ7A and 6922 on the way thanks to your posts. Very excited to try them out. I'll admit, part of me wants to get my hands on an HD600 again now that I have an OTL amp on hand. My Caldera has been my go to since I got it, but this will really encourage many new hours on my AO...

    I'd love to try the WE 274B, but those prices are a bit nuts for the time being. I will look for those Siemens and Tungsram tubes though. I love all the experimentation with a new tube amp.

    I'll be using both the Atrium Open and Closed. This is my first OTL amp, and I'm loving what I'm hearing so far. I'd like to find a GZ34 at some point. I have the Emission Labs 5U4G as well as the Elrog 5U4G, both of which are really great and fun tubes. I'm grateful the NOS options for this...

    My amp arrived last week, and I was finally able set it up and start enjoying it this weekend. Right off the bat I can tell this is something special, even with the stock tubes. Most importantly, the VU meters make me irrationally happy. I went ahead and rolled in my Emission Labs 5U4G, which...

    Violectric HPA V550 - Blue's Brother and the successor to the V281

    I have noticed this issue with my V550 pro in the past week or so as well (the newer revision with the 4.4mm jack). Even when adjusting the volume down slightly, the volume will jump a touch louder briefly. I thought I was going crazy for a moment. Granted the amp sounds incredible, so long as I...

    I have been using the Violectric v550 pro for a few months now, and have loved every second of it.

    The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones

    I have definitely been keeping an eye on classifieds for this very reason.

    The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones

    As someone looking to treat himself to a real nice cable, I certainly appreciate the timing of this post! I have been weighing this and something nice from Viking Weave.
