what a wonderfully informative post, thanks for taking the time! Every time you post stuff like that, I learn so much 🙏

you really should, one day, make a career change - your knowledge and talent are criminally under utilized... :wink:

You're welcome! When my grad school loans are gone (in four years) I just might consider it.

I'm putting a calendar reminder... :wink:

One last listen before its back to reality tomorrow. Got the AC going. I was swapping in and out a few different input tubes earlier today, thought these Tung-Sol 5687WA would sound great with some heavy distorted guitar, and they aren't disappointing at all. Listening to some Tool. The AC with this amp and some well produced metal is just what the doctor ordered, extremely tactile and deep guttural bass, I dig it.

Just jumping in to say, I just checked the classifieds and the available options in the full sized amp section are incredible right now. I have never seen an Eddie Current, Donald North and Glenn OTL listed at the same time, as well as a V281 and several other heavy hitters. :astonished:

For those ZMF owners looking for an amp, I would definitely take a look at the classifieds asap.

I can't stop looking (and salivating :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) at that amp!

I love the color scheme and look! I sure would love to hear an amp like that someday. . .

The Studio Jr in the classifieds is quite the bargain and rare given it's relatively low production. One of the best commercially made amps highly recommended for any ZMF and Focal users.
I have too many amps as it is and I keep thinking "it's rare, just buy it, sort it out later". So hard to resist! If I hadn't impulse purchased a ZMF November special I'd have purchased by now.

It will likely be at CanJam Chicago next year, but probably won't make it to others, I know Zach is apprehensive to ship amps I've made him after an Airmid disappeared for 6 weeks in shipment.

Unfortunately, I don’t see Chicago on the CanJam 2024 list currently.
