Yeah just received the newly informed Auteur Classic from ZMF/FedEx and as promised, I doused them in OTL Rush. So far I am able to pick up on some extra delightful punchiness via the kick drum of Neil Peart and very lovely bass texture. The driver feels and sounds as if it’s capable of much...

Yeah can’t wait to get hands on these as they should be arriving tomorrow. There will be “Tom Sawyer” ready and waiting as track #1 for these…Thanks for the sneak peek

Yeah agreed, I am anxiously awaiting to spend some time with the upgraded Auteur once I get mine back. What will really be fun is that a/b comp. I’m not expecting night and day but I have a feeling it’ll be rewarding. If this were any other company, I’d be scared! In fact, I would not have...

The last I looked the option is “coming soon” I believe…

Appreciate the info!

Yeah I’m absolutely down for that as I’ve never attended any of these yet. Let’s DM and make that happen for sure.

Yeah mine goes out tomorrow. That’s gonna be one tough wait…

Some really good points here…As a new-ish ZMF owner I will offer that the Auteur is the best headphone in the line-up IMO to receive such an update. Given that models like Aeolus and Atticus are not only beloved like the Auteur, but they are quite different and set out to achieve different goals...

Oh yes absolutely and much appreciated!

Yep, order #9133 here and happy camper

Oh man, sorry I missed that part. That’s just pure madness then. You should have done good recourse there.

Yikes, well best of luck. Yeah might not be a bad idea at all to let Zach & Co. put their hands on those. It really irritates me when “sellers” misrepresent what they’re offering up for sale. I find it best to just ask a lot of questions and always ask for additional images up close and...

Good lord, my apologies for the uncorrected grammar and typing. I know English I promise.

Wow, I never seen that although I’m a recent new ZMF owner. I woul almost think someone else may have tinkered just because I doubt Zach would allow that to go out the door. Obviously the upgrade of your do it will correct that but perhaps someone here with more authority could answer the question.

Yeah when I tried through the ZMF site, it did the same but when I clicked through the provided link on head-fi, it worked fine.

Yeah I was able to order everything I wanted so issues here. Obviously, ZMF/Zach will fix any issues that come up!

I for one and am truly looking forward to this upgrade. No matter the reason for its existence, it sounds like a literal wish list come true for the Auteur IMO. Furthermore, for audiophiles and ZMF converts like me that purchased ore-loved ZMFs, it’s chance to have ZMF put their stamp of...

I know you mentioned within your listing that the Echo pairs well w/ZMF headphones but any additional impressions would be helpful. Is the Echo the stereotypical warm, tubey vibe? Is the low end withdrawn? For example, when I had my Woo WA-6se TC tube amp, it wasn’t really that much different...

Hi There - I’d welcome any feedback on how the Echo might pair with my newly acquired Auteurs. I’ve had some tube amps but they were either hybrids or transformer coupled so my OTL experience is lacking other than what I’ve read to some exhaustive degree. I’d be quite interested in this if I...

Hi There, Any idea how this would pair w/a ZMF Auteur? I’m looking for an entry into the land of OTL. Can you tell me what you’ve used it for and some brief impressions? Best - Derek

Yes, that’s the process I’m in now. I owned a Woo Audio WA-6se Gen 2 a couple of years back before I acquired the Auteurs. At that point I was daily driving the Arya V2 but also had the Focal OG Pro, and Audeze LCD XC. I had some other hp as well but the Aryas were getting most of the attention...

Yeah I wish that I never sold my Woo WA-6se now. The ZMF thing was a step I’ve been waiting to take for a while now and I even exchanged some emails w/Zach on options but I’m not as crazy about wood as a lot of folks are and I never took the plunge until now. The cans are pre-enjoyed but are...

Ha! Thanks for the warm welcome? We are all about eggs round these parts!

Hello fellow members, I am a returning member after a bit of a hiatus! I am saying hi from Northern VA and about to take the ZMF plunge with a mint teak Auteur. I very much look forward to hearing from this eclectic group on all things audiophile! Talk to you soon!
