Very interested in the N7 to upgrade from my Fiio M15, but I have no possibility to demo. Anyone here heard the M15 and the N7? I like my M15, but I don’t think it’s really engaging. Hoping to demo the N7 at CanJam London. @Andykong, any idea if the N7 will be available for demo during CanJam...

That's so cool! Never been to a concert abroad myself, but Belgium is certainly an option for me. Especially for such a great band. Thanks! I'm very curious about Atrium vs. Auteur Classic. The latter being my favorite. I already demoed the VC, and I thought they were very good, but just not...

Man, this was just what I was looking for. I really like my Arya V2's, but there are days on which I just can't listen to the Arya's. Even more after getting into ZMF's. My Auteur Classics and Aeolus just have that little magic that my Arya lacks. Going to have to demo the Caldera, sell my...

Guess I'm in that minority too, because I feel the same. It brings such a nice contrast to the rest of my gear.

I'll be using the Audio Valve RKV HAA edition: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/audio-valve-rkv-haa-edition.24852/ The Audio Valve will drive my Arya V2, Aeolus and Auteur Classic. Having said that, I think you might want to do some research on the Arya on tubes. With ZMF it's known that they...

It does, thank you! Saw that the Eikon suedes got some love in this thread.

Yeah, I would be perfectly happy with just the Aeolus on tubes. But for now I'm equally happy with my Auteur, Aeolus and Arya. Hopefully soon on tubes!

That's awesome! Good thinking! I'll edit my earlier post with impressions and I'll add the pads that were used and which amps. For good measure: I used the Burson Conductor 3XP (Solid state) and Auralic Altair G1 headphone out.

Considering we have the same taste in headphones, yeah you should add that Auteur Classic! I upgraded my OG Auteurs and received them a few days ago. I posted my impressions on the Auteur thread and there are so many more impressions over there from people that are much more experienced and...

Well that sounds good! Wonder if they would have the same effect on the Classics. They are not mentioned on the Pad chart for Auteurs on the ZMF website. I have a feeling that I might have to get myself some extra pads this coming Christmas.

What made the Be2's better in your opinion?

Yeah, I can see that. I had Universe suede pads on my Aeolus for a long time and liked what it did in terms of neutrality. I'm also curious about your thoughts on different pads after burn in. I ordered the Eikon lambskin perf pads before hearing the upgrade, so I might still go for the suede...

Had to reply to this one, because that's exactly how I feel. I've used the Universe Suede perf pads and I liked them, but after putting on the OG Aeolus pads today I don't think I will touch the Suede pads for a while. Have to add that the Aeolus with Suede pads were a nice enough contrast to my...

Ah, should've mentioned that. All listening was done with Auteur lambskin perf pads. Got a pair of Eikon lambskin perf pads on the way and got a pair of universe suède pads that were just a few minutes ago replaced by Aeolus pads on my Aeolus. Don't know if the universe suède pads are any good...

Well, the last few days have been quite the emotional rollercoaster. After receiving my Classics I immediately plugged them in and had a listen. My first thought: wow, they sound so much warmer now. My second thought: Noooo, I made the biggest mistake ever! My all time favorite headphone got...

Incredible that we are all rejoicing the payment of an invoice, but yeah, I'm also rejoicing!! First thing I did after I openend my eyes this morning is checking my email for the invoice, finding the invoice and paying the invoice. My one and true love is coming home, now better than ever...

Well, I guess I know what the first thing is that I'll be reading tomorrow morning! Enjoy your listening!

I also recieved my email today and now for the first time in my life I'm looking forward to an email containing an invoice. And once again hats off to the communication from ZMF. All communication from them is so clear.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm qualified, but I'll try my best to give you my (not very coherent) view! My points of reference are the LCD-5/-X which I just yesterday heard for the first time and my previously owned LCD-2C. The MM-500 shares more similarities with the LCD-5 than with the LCD-X and...

Heh, funny how that works. Lucky for us, there is plenty of choice out there!

Empire Ears for sure. Was really looking forward to hearing their stuff.

Wow, my first ever Canjam and what an experience it was! To be honest, the Kublai Khan were not my cup of tea. I didn't like the highs. The Sultan came closer to my taste. Same for me! But also the S12. Damn impressive for that price. Loved the tuning on everything that I heard from Letshuoer...

Just a heads up, expect a long line outside. I went early and immediately got a table till six o'clock. When we left at a quarter till six there was a long line outside. Well, from what I have read, you can't go wrong with the Qudelix. At least you are prepared!

+1 for Dishoom. I'm at the one at Covent Garden and everything was so good!

Playlist :white_check_mark:, check in hotel :white_check_mark:, DAP charged :white_check_mark:, IEM's polished:white_check_mark:. Now only to get that full English in my belly tomorrow morning and I'll be good to go! Can't wait!
