I also have a Feliks Euforia Anniversary OTL, and a Cayin HA-3A...so I plan on doing some amp comparisons over time using my ZMF headphones.

Just placed my order for the Aegis as well!

OK...I had to reply to this post as this is also one of my favorite records! I have this in the 45-RPM version, and agree it is perfect for the Atrium Closed and an OTL tube amp. However, this record has just 13 of the songs that were performed that night (1/03/96). So I bought the 'Box Set'...

I haven't posted in so long, I have forgotten how. But I did receive my Atrium today and wanted to share a picture or two. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet...hopefully soon! This is my 3rd ZMF Headphone and it shipped really fast...my other 2 shipped right around 11 weeks, so I...

I placed an order for the VC Olive Wood several days ago. I knew the Stabilized sets would be terrific, but I also knew there was no way I would be fast enough with the ordering process to actually get one. However, the Olive Wood version looks really nice, and you can customize it however you...

I have used the DX220 Max - 4.4mm Line Out on High Gain (I am assuming the High Gain setting impacts the Line Out and the Phone Out, but not sure on this)...and also had the C9 set to High Gain...with no issues. I did have the DAC volume on the DX220 Max set to 135 (of 150), so 90% of the DAC...

I also have the Empyrean, and think it is an excellent match-up with the C9. I use High Gain, Tube Mode, and Class A. You can also switch between the leather and cloth pads on the Empyrean to see what you like (I have settled on the leather pads when using with the C9).

Looks really nice...now you've got me wanting to try this combination...thanks!

I also have a desktop DAC and Amp connected via XLR cables...so if I want to use the C9 as my amp in this set-up, I connect the DAC's RCA output to the C9's 3.5mm input, and set the C9 to 'Line In' (and just use the volume control on the C9). That way I don't need to disconnect the XLRs from...

Agree, the C9 is much more versatile and seems to have more 'driving capability'...I have the volume control quite a bit lower on the C9 than on the W8 to achieve the same volume level with the same headphone. Also my C9 weighs 560 grams, and my WA8 weighs 1230 grams.

Thank you! I will need some time to do this, but want to really compare the C9 to my other semi-portable amps (the Woo Audio WA8 and WA11) to see how the sound differs with various headphones. I do think that the WA8 (tube amp) sounds noticeably better than the WA11 (solid state), but the C9...

Thank you...I appreciate it! When I first saw the price of the C9 Amp I was surprised that is was $2K (as I was expecting around $1.5K or so). But after receiving it, I understand why as this is a really nice amp that can be used in multiple configurations.

Agree with you there...I think you are probably going to be up late listening to it!

Thank you...I appreciate it! I have ordered the Orbtronic batteries that you recommended earlier in this thread, but haven't received them yet.

OK...thank you...I appreciate it! I think you will like the VC and the C9 Amp together. ZMF also sells several different types of pads, that will allow you to somewhat tailor the sound to what you like.
