I have a Mullard ECC35 as well as an RCA 5691 red base. Listen with the ZMF Verite not the HD650, but to my ear, the Mullard is a very rich and warm tube, treble is slightly rolled off, bass is a bit more present, a bit more of that “tube” sound. Whereas the RCA is drier, more clinical, and with...

I think $2600 is a hard sell, I was emailing with Craig about the ZDS and he has the parts for a new one for $2400 with a wait time of 3-4 weeks.

How do the BE2 pads sound? I find that with the universal pads you get that wonderful holographic placement and really pleasant reverb, but the bass can be a touch boomy. Whereas with the flat pads, the bass is less boomy, but they lose some of the holographic sound. Granted, my pair only has...

My pair arrived this week, and just offering some initial thoughts, the burn in is a real thing. I listened to them straight away and the sound was compressed, the separation wasn't there, the bass was a bit muddy and boomy, I found myself preferring my LCD3s. I left them to burn in for about...

Can anyone comment on the differences between the original ZD and the ZDS in terms of SQ?

Looking to upgrade my amp for the Verite. Anyone have any thoughts on Eddie Current versus DNA with ZMF?

When I had a pair of LCD2Cs I thought they were a really nice contrast to the HD 800, very different in terms of staging, recessed trebles, really great linear bass

I also have a pair of LCD3s and my Verite should be here soon, excited to hear what you think of the synergy with tubes. How would you compare the treble of the LCD3 and Verite? Surprised you think the mids congest the soundstage, from my friends who have listened they seem to feel the sound...

There are a lot of good options for $2000 used. I think you need to decided where your needs and tastes are. Do you have difficult to drive headphones? Are you interested in a solid state amplifier or a tube amplifier? How much money do you want left over for a DAC or for tubes? And that said...

I've really enjoyed my LCD3. I find that I'm a little treble sensitive, and when I had both the LCD3 and HD 800 S side by side, I more often than not would be reaching for the LCD3. It has such great natural reproduction with a really pleasant timbre, even when listening to more contemporary...

Personally, I really like my Woo WA7, for small apartment listening it's very convenient and has a very neutral background, I will say that upgrading to the EH tubes improved the sound by a noticeable amount, especially in terms of soundstage and separation and with a bit more bass slam...

Ordered my silk wood version about 4 weeks ago and still pending, the anticipation is killing me. Curious to hear the comparison between the pheasantwood and silk versions.

Was great to meet everyone, had a really great time, looking forward to the next time, let's try to plans something soon

I would definitely be interested in joining. I could bring my Woo WA7, LCD3, and HD 800 S if people are interested. Would be really interested in hearing some higher end tube amps, like DNA or EC if anyone has one in Denver. Would also love to hear some of ZMF's cans.
