It's our Alumiloy hookup wire, same conductors in the stock headphone cable itself, x4. Resistance of each of those leads (conductor only) ~0.003 ohms, negligible.

my suggestion to people is to listen to your product, if it doesnt sound right look into it otherwise stop looking for trouble
Not looking to disturb the hornets nest... But shouldn't the leads to the driver be super conductor cable? wouldn't that be the purest choice if you were going to upgrade to the superconductor cable?
Please forgive me... Lol

I rather it be a tube, with mercury in it to conduct instead.

On a more serious note, as I'm sure many here have even mor gear especially nice amps ect.
How does one go about getting insurance for these, is there a specific electronics insurance, how does it work?

Well, this was awesome to see (inside the TC). I think I can see how the crinkling around the edge is insignificant to the sound because that is the adhered area where sound is not allowed to emanate. Crinkling in the open area is the only place it would be concerning and this one looks toight....toight like a tiger. 
Now, out of complete fairness and unbiased review, that Susvara sitting right behind the TC also needs to be opened up and photographed.
EDIT: Actually that might be one of the HE-1000 variants. Still, I'd like to see the Susvara design most of all.

We go from crinkled drivers to flaking drivers. Christ.Well, this was awesome to see (inside the TC).

So, I see this type of comment all the time. But, when you are talking about tiny connections, like those connecting the cable to the trace on the driver, there is virtually no resistance - the amount or type of cable needed for that connection is fairly negligible. If it were a longer cable run, you would pay more attention to the type of cable used for the connection, but there would be no difference in sound by upgrading the conductor in that tiny connection. I know it sounds strange to have a really expensive cable end up to a connection that looks like that. But, the science supports it apparently.

Joe, you could nip the talk in various forums in the bud if you provide a lifetime warranty on the drivers. Rosson Audio does this as well, for example. I think in such a price segment this should be normal. Personally, I am now also a little afraid that a driver may go after the 3 year warranty and I have to pay thousands of dollars. What do you think about my point of view?
I do not want to engage in this topic, as I am personally not so worried about this, but just wanted to add the information that ZMF also provides lifetime warranty of their drivers.
Drivers lifetime warranty at this price point I support that.
