ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
Not to beat a dead horse, the whole Headphone measurement curve thing... I was just listening to a recent Darko podcast and this came up in an interview with a chap who seems quite a reliable source of speculation... the whole interview is great, but this particular segment starts at 1:46:50.- ycatsmot

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
No problem, glad I could maybe help. I'm here to ask questions and give feedback, so if I have personal experience to share I'm going to do that. I think it's a dumb topic to oppose so strongly that someone would have an issue with reading about it, and I'm tired of the same old arguments...- ycatsmot

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
*EDIT* Long story short, to directly answer the question... Yes, in my experience with the Caldera I'd say that it responds to Eq very well, and I firmly believe that using an Eq will definitely improve your experience if you are open to using it. I am a big proponent of Eq'ing, as I said in...- ycatsmot

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
I did "burn in" my pair over a weekend with very little listening, just letting them play unattended, so I can't really comment on any changes that I heard.

I'm new here, I've been reading almost every word posted on the internet about the Caldera since it was announced and I bought mine on release day, but this is my first post in this forum :wave: I just wanted to chime in on this topic really quick, because it has always been my #1 thought when...- ycatsmot

Albuquerque, NM meet - June 29 2019 Impressions
Thanks for the reply! COVID hit right when I was starting to get serious about headphones after about a year of constant learning online, so my timing was off by just a little bit. I think my first purchase was just a couple months before all hell broke loose. I guess if I had to be the one... -

@Allanmarcus @phthora @zachary80 ... Hey, I know I'm VERY late to this party, but when is the next one?!? My name is Tom, and I've been in ABQ for 8 years, and doing my own thing with headphones for a little over 3 years... and I feel like I'm the only one here! I'm a member of a local... -
New Member Introductions thread
Here's my obligatory first post... I'm a long-time lurker, fly-on-the-wall, and fairly new headphone rabbit hole explorer. I finally decided to sign up here so I can participate and maybe dive deeper into the madness. For the last 3+ years I've been trying to learn as much as I can by scouring...- ycatsmot
