Some great pieces for great prices. Mostly Auteurs, but there's a few Atticus/Eikons

Can I ask if anyone is using the Atticus or Eikon with a Chord TT2 - I take it the Chord drives them okay?

I'd be interested there too - I believe @Hansotek liked the Eikon straight out of the H2, so if true I'd assume the TT2 would be better still ... anyone heard this combo? Maybe at RMAF2018

TT 2 easily drives all headphones. I use the Eikon with just a Hugo 2 and the results are great; don't have to crank the volume as much as I have to with the ZMF planars, and the Hugo 2 has extremely refined, transparent, neutral sound.

More or less ditto...I had a Hugo 1 for a while, and had zero issues driving my Eikon. My friend has a TT & it drives his HD800s & LCD3 just fine as well.
If you're lucky enough to have a TT2, I don't think you'll have any issues at all.

Hugo 2 drives all of the ZMFs very well. TT2 will too, and much more difficult headphones like Susvara, etc.

Can confirm, I tried my Atticus with the Hugo in a headphone shop and it sounded great.

I thought I'd take some glamor shots of my new ZMF's today. Unfortunately, I don't have an actual camera, nor would I know much about how to use one if I did, so these are phone snaps. They don't really do justice to the beauty of the headphones, especially the gorgeous camphor wood on the Atticus. Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Nice pics...and a very interesting headphone stand.

Haha! Thanks! I found that block of wood under a building, the metal I found buried in an empty lot, and the stone chipped off of an industrial retaining wall. This is the reason that my wife has only allowed me to decorate one room of the house...

Hey you can decorate my place lol. How are the headphones staying up? By sheer clamping force?

Yep. Although, the clamping force is not uncomfortably strong or anything, they just have consistent and even clamping no matter how far apart the cups are. I think the memory foam in the pads helps quite a bit in keeping them in place as well.

That wood block is about 5.5 inches wide, just as a point of reference.

Interesting.

My head (also made of aged wood) is roughly similar in dimension. Perhaps that's why the Eikon works so well for me.

Well that's interesting. The other thing I keep thinking about us splinters! Not worried about that, since the wood isn't finished?

Actually, that was the first and the last time I will use that block as a headphone stand. I just thought it would make a cool photo, something different from the props most people use. Besides, it fits well with my username: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/φθορά
