Your Eikon is beautiful, love the “robin egg speckles” in the wood grain!

Ahh, that's a great description of it! In fact, I think I have some leftover Easter candy eggs that resemble it, Lol.

I opened my Eikon Burl Wood today!

These're so pretty they hurt my eyes!

Saw a couple examples of burl Eikons at CanJam...insanely good woodwork by Zach & ZMF.

Has anyone seen this yet?

Love it! Would it maybe be possible to get this man/puppet a loaner Atticus for review?
Been eyeing your closed backs for quite some time and would love to hear his opinion.

Ahhh...
You know, I was going to post something here about how FREAKING AMAZING the Eikon is sounding right now after 95 hours of burn-in, but I just can't keep my eyes focused on the screen long enough to type out my thoughts. Sitting here in the dark, rest of the family asleep, with the phantasmic glow of the 7236 and CV4004 tubes in my Audiotailor Jade illuminating my desk, it's just way too hard to resist turning off my screen, reclining my chair and disappearing into my chill-out playlist. Good God, I love these headphones. Well played Mr. Mehrbach, well-played.

For anyone wondering - I had the Auteur suede perf pads laying around for testing with the Verite, and thought I'd experiment with them on the Eikon. You know... FOR SCIENCE! The Auteur perforated suede pads on the Eikon are not something I personally would recommend, as the bass gets reduced quite a bit. By quite a bit, I would say by half. It makes the Eikon shift to a treble centric sound, with little bass and a notable reduction in mids. For me it's a hard pass. Thought I'd share.

Is there any way to adjust the headband on the Atticus beyond the last notch? My head is probably reptilian small but this is the first headphone I can't make to sit tight.

You might get in touch with Zach, and see if he could sell you a suede strap. The suede strap, is supposed to make it a couple of clicks smaller.

Another option is to purchase a ZMF pilot pad to provide more cushion/comfort/thickness to the headband strap and provide a tighter fit.

Thanks, I can see the pilot pad on the ZMF website, but no suede strap.

The suede strap is a new option, and you might get in touch with Zach, to see if he will sell you one. I have a super small head, and went with the suede strap, on my Aeolus, for that reason.

Will do, thanks

Yep send me an email - options are:

1. Flatten headband out. Search for "ZMF Headband Bending" on youtube.

2. Suede strap. Also a video showing installation on youtube.

3. Pilot pad. Not made for the atticus so I'd recommend this as a third option, but it will work!

Incredible help from Zach and members in this thread. Much appreciated! Zach, you've got a PM.
