A/B testing with Enleum Amp-23R. Initial impressions are very positive. IMHO, HM1 has a more neutral default tone and somewhat better clarity than 23R. Very nice indeed :)

Cancelled my Zahl Order. Fed up with asking for an estimated delivery date/year. Also, value for money is questionable, especially after seeing Z Reviews youtube vid. Holo Audio Bliss KTE coming next week instead.

I hope I got bumped up in line :) ETAs have been posted numerous times. If you didn't read between the lines with zeos review im sorry he caters to his audience doesn't give a crap otherwise.

I'm apparently the first in line for 2023 batch, does this mean that I may be bumped up to the 2022 batch last in line?

LMAO I thought all 2022 orders were shipped ?

Aww man, that sucks. I guess that means the guy that cancelled the order was in 2023 batch as well.

No shade to HM1. Bliss looks like a good choice.

I wont believe a single letter coming out of Z’s mouth…

If I had the money(rich) I would buy HM1 without hesitation. When it comes to value, for 7000£ you can build a whole system, that would still give you goosebumps

I find Z’s ability to not give a F is rather refreshing in a sea of shills (like the “reviewer” in the above video)
I find it disappointing when a reviewer of Zs caliber decides to put all his frustrations, outside pressure(s) on a product review video and eventually leading up to some awkward moments and just gibberish and deconstructing points that are off putting, of my view on said reviewer.
