ATTICUS and EIKON, the new dynamic driver headphones from ZMF
May 7, 2017 at 7:04 PM Post #3,646 of 9,747
Anybody know what the wait time is like right now if I were to order? I probably won't actually order them for another 2-4 weeks, but was curious as to what I should expect for wait time to ship once I do order my Atticus? I'm leaning towards Padauk for sound signature even though I prefer the look of Cherry.
Also, is there any place in SoCal to demo these? The only vendors I see on their site are outside of the US.
And is there any chance they release more wood variations in the near future? Like Zebra Wood?
I'll probably order the ifi Black label next week. Thanks again for all the suggestions and help.

@TSAVJason may have an Eikon at his store in Torrance. I know he had one at Canjam.

Thanks Dan, yes we do have them and we are a dealer for ZMF.
One of these days, I actually have to make the trip down to Torrance from LA. Sounds like you have quite the setup for headphones and hi-fi in general!

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I helped organize a series of events there last summer where we had mini-meets every other weekend or so. It was a lot of fun and if Jason continues to do these series, I'd recommend heading to one. If nothing else, it's a good way to meet some local head-fi'ers and check out some gear that even Jason doesn't sell!

I'd love to come to one of those kind of meets. Sounds like CanJam, with less noise and more listening time!

That's the idea! To provide access that isn't generally available. A mini-meet for those that can't always get to a CanJam and for those people that would prefer to avoid buying blind.

I've narrowed it down to 2 amps for my Eikon. The Milo or the Kenzie. I'll be using my Mojo as the dac in this setup for awhile. (Musette eventually). I'm stuck. Which one??


I just tried both amps. The Kenzie definitely hits the homerun

The Milo pairs well with the Musette and Eikon. That is my setup.

Ditto on the Musette here. Great DAC! So detailed while also being so musical and never harsh. I've heard excellent things about both the Milo and the Kenzie but I think the Kenzie's gotten a few more *strong* votes from folks I trust. I might be saving my pennies for that one...
