ZMF Caldera Closed
Hah I wish the Sundara Closed sounded anywhere as good as the Caldera Closed! Keep in mind that measurements don't tell the entire story and I've pointed out in the review where I felt my experience differs from the graphs.- vsg28

The lambskin deep, which is going to be named as "Caldera Thick, Top Perf, Lambskin" is about as thick as it will get for Caldera Closed I guess. On the left below is the hybrid stock pad, on the right is the thick.- vsg28

Flagship 10 Knowles BA FA19 Is Officially Released
16 kHz peak is a measurement artifact, it is not present in the ears. -

The red pre-installed mesh is most damped and thus has the most treble attenuation. I'll also leave these here as well, the final piece to my review puzzle being written:- vsg28

I'll make life harder for you guys. Introducing the Caldera Closed suede pads: Oh and then there are the mesh permutations: I hope everyone now sees why a Caldera Closed review merits longer time than pretty much any other set of headphones :beyersmile:- vsg28

ZMF Aegis Official Thread
With so much drama here surely someone should provide popcorn too? Just here to say I like tubes: and I am going to make a beeline at CanJam London to try out the Aegis to see if it can be a dynamic/planar headphone amp to complement my BHSE (for e-stats).- vsg28

I can't speak for others but I can't release my review until I have finished testing everything. This includes the new pads and mesh arriving on Tuesday, so I will plan on having my review go out on launch day/time allowing readers to purchase the set if they so desire. I'll start writing it...- vsg28

Just got notice of the lighter front mesh as well as Caldera Closed seude pads shipping so this is going to be a long review haha. In the meantime, allow me to share these with you: Don't worry about target adherence, especially since the target changes in the last graph, as much as how it...- vsg28

ZMF Caldera Closed
If you go by basic rules of thumb when it comes to pad type, it isn't that hard: 1) The more perforated the pad, the more air going in and out, the less seal you get. This can affect bass (body and impact) and upper mids (that ethereal/spacial feeling) and can generally be seen in FR...- vsg28

Interestingly, for me the installed pads were hybrid lambskin with suede inside, I believe these are going to be the stock pads for Caldera Closed too: Lambskin Deep were in the box as the secondary pads, these are slightly deeper than the hybrid pads and allow more of that ethereal feeling...- vsg28

I have some measurements taken but want to re-do some of them because one set does not match what I hear in my ears (which is more important anyway). I just got off a call with Zach where I learnt about a 3rd set of pads he had sent me too, so I'll measure everything this week and share here...- vsg28
