Ok, but the comment I quoted was literally from yesterday. Not exactly ancient history.- rhenom

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
Hard disagree with this comment. Zach doesn't owe you anything and he certainly doesn't need to publicly inform the market that he is launching a headphone 6 months down the line.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I missed this little blurb, but the fact that he has enough ebony for 100 headphones is great news.- rhenom

Ebony is my personal favorite wood, and while I wasn't able to get one this time (still paying off my aged cherry Atrium). I will definitely be keeping an eye out if Ebony ever returns in the future.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I'm sure a lot of the hot cup summer stuff is going to sell fast, but I have a feeling that the Macassar ebony are going to be sold out in a couple minutes. There will always be more stabilized and resin sets, but who knows when or if we'll see that beautiful ebony again.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I'm really happy with my aged cherry Atriums, they are the best headphones I've ever had, but I just looked at the hot cup summer pages and it's times like this that I wish I won the lottery or something so I could afford some of these stunning new headphones that Zach has cooked up.- rhenom

I don't see the problem. The resin/stabilized models are extremely limited runs. It's not like they are going away from natural wood or anything. Both cocobolo and ebony wood are incoming.- rhenom

Ebony is a great wood, it makes me wish I wasn't so broke so I could buy an Ebony VC.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I got my Atriums in the mail today. They are quite comfortable for how heavy they are, and I'm glad I went with the suede headband option as I think it is more padded and softer than the leather headband. They sound good straight out of the box with no burn in, but I'm also not an audio reviewer...- rhenom

Everyone has their preference, it might not be the most fair fight, pitting a $4000 planar vs a $2500 dynamic though.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
According to them, there should be an "assembly" stage after sanding and finishing. My guess is that it's difficult for them to send out a bunch of updated emails for everyone when they are still trying to deliver the large quantity of orders they got from the Atrium launch. I'm still crossing...- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
It's a new week and I still haven't received any updates regarding my aged cherry Atrium order after the initial email telling me it was in the sanding and finishing stage. @zach915m said that most orders would ship by the end of May so that really only leaves a couple weeks potentially left...- rhenom

I'm over the one month mark since I ordered my aged cherry Atrium, still in the sanding and finishing phase, apparently.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
My understanding is that Atrium is so open that the hardness of the wood will have very little effect on the sound, if any. I would definitely go with whatever looks the best to you. I know Zach already said that there is going to be a run of stabilized headphones this summer. I'm sure they will...- rhenom

My order is #8030 placed on April 8th, aged cherry/copper, I'm still in the sanding and finishing stage. But it's a new week so anything is possible.- rhenom

It's a brand new week fellas, with any luck maybe my aged cherry Atrium will finish the sanding and finishing stage this week, fingers crossed.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I'm order number 8235, I got an email saying that mine is in sanding and finishing. I hope it turns out nice. From what I've seen the cherry sets can widely vary in appearance, so I won't know if I got some good figuring/grain lines until I open the box, but that's the gamble you take buying ZMF...- rhenom

Just out of curiosity, when did you place the order and when did you receive it? I have an aged cherry on order as well.- rhenom

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the F stands for Fostex, because Zach started out modding Fostex headphones. -edit, I stand corrected, it says on the website that the F is for films, which is quite the interesting plot twist.- rhenom

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
I'm still waiting for the stock cherry Atrium that I ordered. I wrote in to them asking them if it would be possible to put on a different grill color than black because I think the grill looks cool, but when it's black on black you can't really see it. I was told they couldn't do it. It made me...- rhenom

Is there any longer wait than from the time you order a ZMF headphone until you receive them? I'd argue no. I wonder if anyone has tried the Atrium with the new 3rd gen Woo Audio WA7 Fireflies, seems like it could be a good pairing.- rhenom

Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600
They say pre-orders are live today, but I see no pre-order available on their website. Maybe it's Asia only pre-order since they are the ones getting it months before everyone else.- rhenom
