Happy new owner of the Niimbus amp US5! They totally live up to the hype for me and im enjoying the amp very much. It felt like a significant upgrade from my old setup(Gs-x mini, Ultrasonic Oblivion) and i am so impressed with this amp.

A big thank you to @zach915m for responding and getting me a replacement pair so quickly! They look amazing in person. I'm not going to comment too much on the sound but it is pretty surprising how wide the soundstage are for a closed back. They also sound distinctly different from the Utopias...

I think i need a lesson on wood because thats pretty normal now i look at it on a guitar. I think everyones stunning pair is blowing my expectations out of the water lol. Im just gonna humble myself now and be happy with just a working pair. Excuse me yall

I was amazed at how your new pair turned out and i was happy you got such a stunning pair in the end. I just dropped mine off at Fedex to get it inspected by Zach. I think i may be the only one to get a dud here lol im not sure how mine had issues on arrival. I havent even seen anyone post...

Hi All, Just got my ZMF Atrium unaged Cherry and they looked great throughout until I noticed these black marks on the middle of my headphones. Are these normal? I don't see any black marks anywhere else besides the inner part of these earcups. Does anyone have a unaged Cherry pair that I can...

Im glad the other guy shared his qc experiences as it helped set a expectation for me before i will receive my pair in a couple of weeks. Since i know its normal for them to contain bores i wont be as disappointed when i receive mine if they do end up with bores. And if i end up getting a...

Im just going to email Zach directly next time. Like you went on a whole essay because i asked a couple of questions about the quality control on the cups which Zach answered himself. And now im supposed to explain myself? For what? Telling me Zach will help me doesnt change a single thing...

Can you take your fanboy hat off for one second and look at it from my perspective? Everyone here has been posting their pair with no black spots or cracks at all unlike that particular one. Like am i wrong to get the wrong impression that its doesnt seem normal? And i have not said anything...

Im not understanding lol what facts am i not considering? I have no idea what you are getting at honestly.

I mean these are wooden headphones.. its really not the same as inspecting your regular big ticket items. Shouldnt you pay extra attention when inspecting these? Like do you get variations with your non wooden headphones? And whats the conclusion lol? Dont check your headphones when you...

Im a bit surprised these passed through the quality check and were shipped out... like thats pretty obvious lol. Would these even be considered b stock quality? It looks like someone drilled a hole on the headphone cups. Its still crazy they still shipped it to ya while looking lile this. You...

Am I the only one who got the regular Cherry because I thought it was a good idea to be able to see a headphone age over time? Everyone got aged Cherries and Olivewood and it got me wondering if i should have made a different selection instead.

Passing this on to someone who is debating on the Verite or the Atriums Closed from ZMF Support For me, I think the ZMF Verite Closed is more in line with what i'm looking for in a warmer sound signature but I realized that I already owned a Beryllium headphoe(Focal Utopia) so it makes more...

Does anyone have any recommendations for which pair I should get to complement my Utopias? I feel my Utopias are a bit bright and i'm looking for a darker and warmer closed pair of ZMF headphones as an alternative. From what I researched, the ZMF Atrium are the most similar to the Eikons. I'm a...

Wavelet saved the LCD i4 for me. I'm able to finally use them properly with my DX 300. Also I'd like to echo I picked up a Utopia recently so we have the same setup and I share the same sentiment. The last item I traded was over 2 years ago and my most recent purchases were the LCD i4 and...

Yes i was lucky enough to have bought it second hand from @Phantaminum. Its still holding strong but i would imagine it would need some servicing someday. Tomas definitely left us with something special. He will surely be missed.

I am so sad to see the news that the creator has passed away :( I just bought a Focal Utopia to revitalize my interest in this hobby and this was the only amp that I held onto. The best of us really do die young :(, my condolences to Tomas and his family and friends. I will cherish this amp...

Excellent seller with great communication. Shipped my Utopias out the following day after making payment. He was also able to help me with activating my warranty with the Utopias as well. I would highly recommend this seller. Thanks again!

Seller shipped very quickly and was very communicative throughout the whole process. Item was also as described. I would highly recommend. Thanks for the amp!

Im a little late but i wanted to chime in after 6 months with this combo. Currently im running Liquid Platinum(Telefunken E88CC Cyro treated Gold pins) + ADI-2 FS V2 + Ether 2 I'm not sure this combo pairs that great with the Ether 2. This setup is great with my ZMF Atticus because it brings...

I really enjoy the stock tubes already so worst case i'll either try more tubes or just stick with the stock ones. Either way the Liquid Platinum is one hell of an amp and is a huge upgrade coming from a Lyr 3. Love it!

Thank you so much for the help! I've placed an order and they will be arriving next week. I'll post my impressions then. Pretty excited to try something new besides the stock tubes. I wonder how much difference it will make. Ken
