I love the stain on that maple.
If it were aged copper instead, I’d seriously have to keep my wallet in a safe…
The salvation for my wallet are my aged copper Atrium. Were my first TOTL, finished on 13th May (my birthday), the walnut color they got after one year, the best hifi journey ever the last year. No way I would sell them even for double price, I created so many memories with them.

The rose gold is not for everybody. Someone will see those and jump though!

I am a little surprised myself that there is only one left out of the whole Stabilzed series.
The rest are completely gone, even the Calderas are sold out.
It seems that Zach's video was very well received and introduced all of them in their appearance. It was a good idea.

The last one might still sell if not then at the Canjam soon.
It wouldn't be my cup of tea but it's nice somehow, it's got something.
The wood also seems to come through well and has retained a good naturalness.
Sometimes I find that some Zmf can be a little darker, like the Angel.
With the matching grill and rods colour, this can be very effective.

That's really some of the magic of ZMF. I'll never sell my Indian Almond Aeolus or the Auteur Classics I got from CanJam last year. It's a big reason why I haven't upgraded. I'd have to sell one of my pairs, and I just don't think I have it in me.

How can I identify my pads? I know I have Auteur and Universe pads. Which are which though?
Do the Universe have less wholes than the Auteur?
Also on one pair of pads the wholes are a bit brown inside, and on the others just black.
Maybe they are different leathers? They pictures of the pads on the ZMF website don't really help and the dimensions are also so close that measuring wont help either.

Auteur is more angled than universe (thicker in the back)

The Auteur pads are more oval shaped while the universe pads are more circular. Also, the Auteur is angled downwards while the universe is not so the seam side should be thinner than the back side.

Auteur on the left, universe on the right.

The auteurs have a larger inner diameter.
The Universe are slightly smaller.
You should pay attention to this.

Hey all - last call for "Angel's Share," of it doesn't sell today I'm just going to bring it to canjam. You can never have enough sauce to show at the jam.

Anyways, excited to get everyone their sets, we are working hard to get them out!

Hello,
Incredible night just with the Atrium Bocote tuned in and the Caldera ultra perf pads Zach recommended to me.

Feliks Euforia with 6080 mullard at the output and adapted 6v6 Westinghouse as driver tubes.

I had previously had a different combo on the amp where the Caldera pads had a bit of neutral and less bass.
But now I enjoy all the power with the new combination.
The bass is just right, the midrange and treble fit together very well, and the stage is just right.
A good bit more relaxed than the Universepads.

The Caldera pads are still fresh on.
What I thought for me is that they can be convincing on tube amps when the whole thing harmonises together, so the tube combination would also be an important point.
It shows the whole truth of the song when it fits without being exaggerated.

Caldera ultra perforated pads?
