@HiFiWar are there any of your headphones that don’t synergize with the iha-8?

First time posting in this thread. I have had my VO's for about 3 months now. The VO's have sounded great from the get go, but it wasn't until I did some pad rolling from the Universal lambskin to the BE2 lambskin, Caldera ultra perfs to finally settle on the Caldera stock lambskins. Which to my...

I have the h5 and the Cayin ha-3a. Both are amazing amps for different reasons and different headphones. Not the same amp as you are looking at but I wouldn’t disregard the h5. I think it competes with the Cayin. It all depends on what tubes you roll. IMO.

Have you reached out to ZMF support? They were really helpful with mine. I had to send mine in, and the turn around to get it back was pretty quick.

It sounded great with the HA-3A, I just have other headphones I prefer listening to that amp with and if I turn on that amp those are the ones I will generally grab.

Yeah, out of all my amps the only ones prior to this that could drive the tungsten’s were the HA-3A and the Hifiman EF400. The bass is definitely better on the homage than it is with the EF400. I’ll have to try it again on the HA-3A.

My homage arrived, it can definitely drive the tungsten double sided. I don’t know about single sided though. Using the Bifrost 2/64 xlr as the dac. Sounds great IMO.

Yeah, It’s been tough finding a pairing that I like that I didn’t like a different headphone with more. My ha-3a I liked with the tungstens but if I’m going to use up some tube life, I much preferred my ZMFs with that amp. With the homage it just makes everything sound good. The gain levels are...

My homage just arrived, going to give it some time before I share my opinions on it. I will say though it can definitely drive the Modhouse tungsten double sided better than anything else I have.

I reached out to ZMF support and was told it would be able to drive them without an issue. I guess we will see when it shows up.

Link? I don’t see it on their site.

The dac was the reason I got the ef400. Wanted to dip my toes into R2r without to much of an investment bought it used from the Hifiman store when they had them on sale for 300.

I haven't heard the single sided only the double sided. I actually quite like the bass on the double sided. I've hated the amp on the EF400 until I tried the tungstens with them. I have held off on it till this morning because I have hated everything else I have heard on the amp. The Hybrid pads...

The build quality feels solid. They do feel like they are built very well, Where you would grab onto the headphones they have more of a texture. The steel band is smooth. Everything on the headphones feels very uniformed. I have bought other headphones from smaller shops that don't feel nearly...

Has anyone tried the Tungsten Double sided with the Hifiman EF400? I think that has to be my favorite pairing with it so far. I have tried with the HA-3A, Eufonika H5, Singxer SA-1. Maxed out the Eufonika pushing it to distortion. Singxer SA-1 Maxed out. I thought is sounded okay on the HA-3A...

Broke down and picked up the homage. The wait begins.

How long is the average wait time people are experiencing before their mj3 ships?

Does the Homage drive the susvara?

looking at the Mjolnir 3, would this amp be okay to leave on 8+ hours at a time?

I bought this Monster Pro MI Professional Surge Protector Power Strip with Fireproof MOV Technology for Computers, Amplifiers, Pedal Boards, and Pro Audio Gear, 1350 Joule, 4 ft Cord, 7 Outlet https://a.co/d/dztTMuX As recommended by Zach in one of his videos and it cleared up the noise for me.

First time posting in this thread, I got my Eufonika a little bit ago and tube rolling improves it even more than it was. I know the tubes that came with mine sounded good but the bass was more sloppy with the tubes I got with it. I did some tube rolling and tightened up the bass quite a bit...

Once you start rolling, it takes the amp to an even greater level IMO. Tried some NOS Tung-sol 6v6 andTung-sol 12au7 with the Auteur classic and the caldera thick pads. The best the headphone had ever sounded for me, but that roll with anything else was just ear bleeding bright. Even with the...
