The Tiger Shark is a Perro de Presa Canario, or Presa for short, which is the national mammal of the Canary Islands.

What a handsome fella. Have not seen one before. Thx!

The Glenn OTL has a more romantic sound compared to the Euforia. Instruments hold more weight, images aren't as sharp as other amps (fuzzy around the edges), mid bass hits harder, and has a big sound stage (side/side and front/back). Tubes really change the sound of the GOTL.

The Euforia has a more solid state like presentation. Sharper outline, faster, with more extension. The amp is clearer and you don't have background noise (if this bothers you) compared to the GOTL. It's all about synergy really. I wouldn't pair the HD650 with the GOTL but that headphone sounds amazing on the Euforia. I would definitely pair ZMF Auteurs with the GOTL but think it's ok with the Euforia.

On the other hand, I would pair the Verite Open, Auteurs, and HD650 with the ZMF Pendant any day of the week.

Good description of GOTL. After years of listening with it , warm, romantic ,euphoric is the natural tone of the amp.
Nice bass, clean...but not overly if that makes since. This won't sound like a SS amp in pretty much any way.

I am basically a "tone" tube roller and the amp is transparent to tube rolling.

These are pretty much not an option anymore as there seems to be no new ones being made.
Used seems to be the only option these days, if you can find one the bang for the buck is huge, as the basic model only ran about $750 new. You are likely to spend way more on tubes than the amp cost.

Yeah, I went through quite a lot. The fastest, most neutral combination was the PSVane KT88s with RCA Clear Tops, and whilst that got close to the speed of the Euforia, it just wasn’t quite enough.

The Euforia only works well for the Atriums (for me). I much preferred the 6A with the VCs and Aeolus. I must prefer those with a more traditional tube sound.

I'm thinking rectification may be playing a role too, seeing as how the Euforia is SS rectified. Unfortunately, I don't think there are many options for the rectification with the 6a. That is the main turn-off with both of their TOTL models. I wonder if anyone has made plug-in SS half-wave rectifiers that would work?

Anyone know when the limited addition Atrium is likely to be available to order? I’ve been visiting the ZMF store daily but nothing there yet

Someone in this thread mentioned Cocobolo.

Yes that is what has prompted me to keep looking every day. I had aged cherry in my basket before that…

Anyone taking the plunge on the newly announced Schiit Folkvangr?

Tempted! But that's a lot of tubes and a lot of heat. I think i'm going to stick with the MZ2 for my Atrium, I love the sound.

After what I paid for just 4 tubes on my Euforia, there is no way I'm going to anything with 10 tubes lol

No heatsinks, so its not only an amp, but also a great indoor grill as well.
Ten tubes is a lot. Thats what my old Glenn could take, but the Glenn is an OTL, whereas that new Schiit thing isnt and cant drive tough to drive planars, so I really dont know who the intended target audience is.

Not to mention its limited to 250 units

I’m hoping for Friday then

Great review by DMS. He seems to prefer a slightly warm, neutral leaning sound with good clarity, so it makes sense he'd favor the BE2 Suede pads. Also interesting that he finds the Atrium more detailed than the Verite.

I've been intrigued by the Atrium since it was released, but this review puts it on the must-audition list for me. Hopefully there'll be an Atrium at CanJam SoCal.

Tempted for sure, but it's expensive at $2K after tax and shipping. I'm curious about any impressions of the Folhvangr-Atrium combo, though.

Hey all, I am interested in adding a ZMF headphone to my rotation. I am looking for a warm neutral and/or neutral with bass tilt. Would I be looking more towards the Atrium or the VO?

Hip-hop, EDM, POP, Dance and Modern music.

I am not currently looking for a closed headphone so the VC is off the table.
