Another music recommendation for a dreary Tuesday morning. When I last posted I mentioned how the AC (cherry wood) made the bass an "equal partner" in the last song. What I meant was it's resolving enough with enough quality across the whole spectrum that the bass for me doesn't overwhelm the song, it just gets elevated to something you can follow as well as the singers and the other instruments. It reaches the quantity that I personally want to hear, and yet the rest of the track doesn't suffer for it.

Anyway, of all the cans I've ever owned, I don't think anything could do this reggae group justice the way the AC handles it, even my beloved Atticus in cherry. Maybe some other biodynamics could get close? As a YTer wrote in the comments there, "Be sure your subwoofer is on for the full vibe! Half this music happens below 70hz."

Olivewood?

Yup exactly! I got a couple hours on them last night so I still need a lot more time to get my thoughts together around some initial impressions but, the first thought that comes to mind when describing these is: Wow. So musical, such a natural timbre/presentation, highly detailed and fun fun fun. I need to keep on with my listening to share a more detailed description but I was loving them from the first song yesterday.

Oh also, does anyone else feel like the Caldera pads are more comfortable than the OG ZMF pads? Not sure if it's just in my head, but they just felt more pillowy in my usage yesterday haha

Apologies for the sidebar topic-

Props for posting a KEXP in-studio live session! Being a long-time listener/supporter and Seattle-area resident, I love the station so much.

I’ve lost count of the number of artists/bands I’ve discovered thanks to KEXP.

+1 KEXP is the #1 source of my new music discovery! Always the best part of the commute. I found this playlist someone automated that syncs up with what they’re playing. Much better quality than their radio stream (you can take it even further and sync this daily to Qobuz via Soundiz):

Sad I missed out on the olive wood. Hopefully the next LTD variant will be just as cool.

Any eta for when or even if that will happen . Any time after Sept 8th would be ideal for me

Hot cup summer starts in July. No stabilized resin until November but some very cool options that I think some people may like more than stabilized anyways.

Received my newly repaired ACs today! So far so good. Need to give it some run time to make sure the issue is resolved.
Am loving the grain and look if it!

Beautiful. What was your order number (or general range), if I may ask?

Thanks. 13417

However as Zach explained to me, other factors come into play such as pads, rods, headbands etc and what they have in stock and what needs to be ordered.
