FWIW my reservation reads as cancelled, which is about right. At this point I don't know if I'll be a) homebound b) headed to canjam or c) busy in EU at that point. I'm leaving my CJ tickets in place regardless, as a donation to keeping it fun

Kinda bummed about the date change, as I am not yet sure if I'll be able to attend in December. To be perfectly clear I think rescheduling is absolutely the right move here, just kvetching about my personal schedule. Do I need to contact the hotel to modify my reservation if I am able to attend?

I've now had my Aeolus long enough to worry about care. I've been using Martin guitar cleaner for the wood due to a recommendation on here, but what about the pads and headband? Is there a product that works especially well, or should I just use whatever I'd use on my car's interior?

Ooh...I want! Expect an order as soon as my wallet recovers from some recent expenses (unrelated to headphones, sadly).

Finally got my Aeolus in!!! Barely looked at them before getting them on my head, and it was torture to wait the recommended 5 minute warm-up period for my WA3. Sounds great on Nick Cave's Tender Prey (already had it queued up in Roon, and it IS one of my faves). Can't wait for them to break in

Hello! Since I went and purchased an Eikon at Canjam last weekend, I thought I should check in (and subscribe to this thread). Still loving my AFCs for office use, but the Eikons are proving themselves quite up to my random musical selections. Looking forward to more listening!

I had to LOL when the $15k dCS streamer marked 24bit streams as 16bit on the front panel. As I told the rep, my car's trade-in value may or may not be enough to cover it,. Dang, It sounded good tho

If you are looking for DIY, the Bottlehead stuff gets great marks around here in my experience. If "build it better than I can" is a consideration, I have many many good things to say about my Woo Audio WA-3. Yes I did upgrade to a 421A, but that was a case of going from strength to strength.

Consider the MrSpeakers Aeon Flows, I've paired them with the Schiit Lyr3 and Mjolnir2 with great results

I am seriously considering heading to this from California, What I really want to do is take the California Zephyr there and back. Working on the logistics!!

Aww, sad that I did not witness the daughter shenanigans! Sounds cute as heck. I second talking to the Manley folk, and how freaking nice Zach and Bevin are. I "impulse" purchased a set of show demo Eikons, and I'm happy as a clam. Listening to them right now in the hotel. Looking forward to...

Welcome to the dark side. We have cookies, and awesome tunes

First CanJam. Had a blast. Impressions: Zach from ZMF is super nice. Don't recall which cans I listened to, but I wanted to sit there and listen to the whole album I'd selected. Gives me warm fuzzies about the Aeolus I've got on order Focal Stellia earns it's price tag. Not likely to buy soon...

Came here to whine that it won't fund, yet it did! Nice!!!

I ordered my Aeolus last weekend, and have checked the build spreadsheet daily since. Can't wait for them! I know intellectually that it'll be sometime. But really I'm a kid looking at the calendar willing Xmas to get here already :D

The various threads is a barrier, TBH. Guess I am asking what sound I might get with the above?

I hear that ZMF 'phones are awesome, and I do like what I hear/see. I am looking for a pair to "complete" (yeah, right) my musicality > all rig. But comments I have seen around here talk about amp preferences in ZMF sets. So, I ask ye gawds of headfi, what ZMF phones would rock my world for my...

I'm intrigued too, but the deafening silence seems to indicate no one has any analysis to add. Too bad

Looks like my stock cable is already starting to wear through. I can see red wiring in two spots, after ~6 weeks of use. Apparently this cables is kinkier than my fetish friends, but does not like being kinked? Anyhow, I'm currently looking for suggestions on replacement cables.

I was trying to avoid asking about particular adaptors, as I have 2 (soon to be 3) types of tubes in my amps and may want to venture beyond drop in replacements someday. Sounds like the only consensus is to get on ebay and do the usual due diligence. Fair enough!

Yep. But which sellers have decent stuffs?

To paraphrase Metallica: Buy Em All :D

Thanks! Ordered some (Amazon does not deserve our loyalty, but man...)

Honest? If I need Y to Z, that's where I go? Just wanting to spend more moneys

I'm rocking the included power cords with my Schiit gear. Anything better for not-car-money?
