    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...

    ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

    it's such a tricky question as, first, it depends on what one means when they use this term. i believe it's usually meant to say that the reproduction of music varies in some way from how thae music originally sounded when played (or would sound if you heard it in person). The tricky part is...

    Riviera AIC-10 headphones & speakers amplifier

    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.

    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...

    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. Any debate where one isn't looking to listen to others...

    ZMF Atrium Closed - the latest closed back headphone from ZMF

    yea, I normally don't use suede either, this is an exception. with the AC specifically I found out it offered a "cleaner" bass; still very elevated but less bleed and more clean transition into the mids, which I really love. but can completely see folks loving the stock thin lamb; it was a bit...

    The Caldera will give you equal (or imo better) technicalities to the LCD-5 coupled with equal or better physicality of the HE6SE
