My Auteurs will be singing the Grateful Dead tonight, likely a selection from E '72. What is this "Sooper Bowel" of which some of you speak?

Well, I was disappointed. But not as badly as my kids, who are both Seattle fans -- they claim they were robbedVictory is it's own reward

I'm old enough to remember a few of the 1970 players. Hank Stram was the head coach, Len Dawson was QB, and Jan Stenerud was the kicker. that's about it

Look up 'Football Head Coach' -- there's Hank Stram's picture. Just absolutely looked the part

I have a pretty good memory of the teams from the late 60's into the early 70's. Remember when George Allen jumped ship from LA and took a bunch of Rams with him over to the Skins?

So beautiful! I have the same ZMF cable (with different sleeving) and I love it.What's this, a whole page without any Auteur pics? Problem solved!
Just arrived today. Zebrawood LTD with rose gold and copper cable joining the rest of the ZMF family here--Aeolous Sapele, Verite Silkwood, and Manchurian Ash Atticus, all suede versions. Haven't burned them in, which may not be needed as these aren't 100% new.
It's really difficult to capture the correct color and beauty of the rose gold. I think it will pop more as the wood darkens. They're all really works of art.
Immediately recognized the ZMF house sound and was also pleasantly surprised at how differently they present music compared to the Verite, even on a relatively simple song like Hey Jude. I think I now have every perforated suede pad variant so will play around with all of those after some time with Auteur suede perf.

Saw your post a while back (believe it was you) where you said the Auteurs are the best headphones for the Dead and I have to agree - I haven't heard better. Most of my listening is live recordings of Phish and Grateful Dead and the Auteurs are exceptional. Was listening to 8/27/72 earlier... just wow!

When I listen to the Dead (no idea what this "Phish" is of what you speak ), I always reach for the Auteurs. I think Jerry deserves the best!
), I always reach for the Auteurs. I think Jerry deserves the best!I have seen so many comments about the affinity the Auteurs have for tube amps, that I am in the queue for a Glenn OTL. In the mean time I saw a used Loxjie P20 for sale in this forum and snagged it, just to keep me distracted on my Glenn wait . Luckily, I had already ordered an upgrade power supply for (1.5 amps vs, 5 amps) because as it turned out the amp was DOA and I was hoping the problem was the power supply. It was. The seller had been willing to refund, no problem, but I really wanted it to work out. My initial impressions were quite positive, it sounded pretty good when ABing against my Monolith 887.
Today, earlier than anticipated, the upgrade tubes arrived (6N3P-DR NOS from Russia). Brand new with no burn-in, they do make a difference. Gave the amp more authority on bass, and seems more detailed. I am impressed right now that this inexpensive tube amp can sound so good! It's a good pairing with the HD6XX, but the Auteurs seem to love this amp.
I now have $92.00 total invested in this little baby, and I truly cannot imagine getting anything better than I am experiencing right now in this price range. It feels like it is driving my Auteur's better than my Monolith 887. That is impressive. I need to do a lot more listening to be definitive about it, but heck, just that my first impressions are in this ballpark amazes me.
I am now just trying to imagine how my Auteurs will sound with a Glenn OTL!
