Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier
I finally published my CanJam NYC writeup (in my defense for tardiness, I've been busy with my son's college admission process which, mercifully, is in its last few days; and did a double partial knee replacmenet surgery right after CanJam, which also mercifully was surprisingly easy). With all...- goldwerger

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

Watched it. I mostly agree with his take, and of course as everyone points out, tastes and preferences make such a big role when splitting hair between great amps. Mostly, the video is very informative for anyone researching for ideas what amps to check out and demo. Personally, I preferred the...- goldwerger

The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones
cool. great you got to try for yourself, there is simply no better way to determine what's best for you! for context, I prefer the Susvara over the LCD-5, so you may want to take my input with a grain of salt as it may not match up with yours (but I also have the X9k and, technically, it is...- goldwerger

Frequency response at the ear drum
I just dropped into this thread to see what all the hubbub was about. First, I would respectfully suggest that a more humble approach would likely get a more receptive audience; if not that, it would make for a more enjoyable conversation.

ZMF Atrium Closed - the latest closed back headphone from ZMF
