ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.
I'm glad they came out looking as they should because I'm quite new to using a lightbox. You can see the amateur-ish glare on the Desert Purple unit that I couldn't get rid of.- Aornic

ZMF Verite Open
Looking forward to this. Doing audio shows in the UK has shown me that the ZMF sound resonates with the market here, and I fully expect this will continue that trend.- Aornic

ATTICUS and EIKON, the new dynamic driver headphones from ZMF
Stillhart's above post is right. I have a business to run and enough on my plate in my private life that I really don't want the added perception problem that comes with reviewing rival products. So I've made a decision that I'm announcing on YouTube soon. I'm going to retire from reviewing...- Aornic

ATTICUS and EIKON, the new dynamic driver headphones from ZMF
Currently I'm leaning on continuing reviewing on my private blog and YouTube but disclosing the ZMF affiliation whenever I tackle another full-sized headphone. I can't review ZMF anymore, however, as it just doesn't seem right to me. There's also another brand or two that I will avoid talking...- Aornic

Review by 'Aornic' on item 'Inspire by Dennis Had IHA-1 Dragon Version'
Introduction The IHA-1 is the concoction of Dennis Had, formerly of Cary Audio, who has a reputation in the audio community for his tube power amps. After Drew Baird, CEO of Moon Audio, used an Audeze LCD-3 to showcase to Dennis just how far headphone technology had come, he decided to give a...- Aornic

Focal Clear headphones
Aornic, you gotta mod these in order to bring out their true strength. Add a extra magnet on the back. Make sure to replace the hm5 hybrids, they really open up the head phone, improve resolution, and fixes the FR. Lastly you need 400 burn in hours minimum. I recommend 1500 hours. Usually 1...- Aornic

Inspire IHA-1 tube headphone amp
This amp isn't balanced. Both outputs sound exactly alike. Furthermore, if you plug in two headphones at once it doesn't degrade the signal from when only one is inserted either.- Aornic
