I’ll assume the lack of email received on my end means I’m not the lucky one. That’s good news for all of you who haven’t checked your email yet though! Hopefully a veteran won

Pffft I don’t even go in the gas station for less than a billion lmao I’m far more excited at the prospect of winning an Aeolus though

^^ This guys gets it

(crosses fingers)

say what now?

is the wood listed somewhere I didn't notice?

the pheasantwood (and silk for that matter) looks fantastic

I haven’t seen a grill I didn’t like on a ZMF All degrees of good from my perspective

Tiger/Curly maple? The beauty of tiger maple is you could stain it pretty much any color to pop the grain and it would look amazing. Then we could all start lusting over trans tint colors! Lol Or on the exotic side, leopard wood?

@Rhamnetin Does Zach usually go to the NY show? Maybe he’ll have an Ori on hand. If not, I’m betting there is someone here who could be talked into bringing one

So a target of ~1500?

It’s a hell of a community we have here

I'm in a similar place Buddha I'm targeting one of each. I went through a similar exercise with amps/dacs and think I finally found my (temporary) endgame in the MJ2/Gumby stack. So now I'm in the process of selling off some that equipment before I can even look at another set of cans. The Ori...

:triportsad:

I think the Auteur is my next purchase. I’m not looking to have a ton of cans- more like 2 or 3 with complementary sounds. The Auteur seems like an obvious option for a mostly open back pairing.

Yes please

I’m picking up the new stack tomorrow so I’m planning to get things set up so the Gumby will have a full 24+ hrs before a potential Saturday night listening session when the kids go to bed @koover def keep us posted on tube combos u find u like. I’m happy to sit back and benefit from your...

@koover nice! We’re going to have similar setups. I have an NFB 28 now but recently picked up an MJ2/Gumby stack to try out as a probable upgrade.

@koover purpleheart is one of my personal favorites - what is the rest of your setup?

Respectfully, I’d suggest we take the buying requests elsewhere. I sincerely hope u guys land some and come gush about them here. I’m just thinking the abundance of WTB convo is better elsewhere

Looking forward to some pics of the full setup!

Mmmm that old growth sound sig

Just out of curiosity, has he ever done a pair with buyer provided wood with some crazy burl or crotch grain?

If cherry sees direct sunlight a lot it will darken substantially pretty quickly. A few hours in the sun will make huge changes to a cherry board. Unfortunately, all wood behaves differently so there is no great way of knowing how dark it will actually get. In fact, high end cabinet makers often...

But then how will we justify our hording? Ok everyone, let's make a pact - nobody here tell anyone else's significant other
