Harder, Harder, and Hardest. It's headphone porn!

I find some of the darker woods visually appealing, as I have an ambrosia maple currently with a lighter tone. As the maple is lower on the Janka scale, I'm considering getting a 2nd auteur with a denser wood and darker tone. Variety is the spice of life!

Yeah that Cocobolo (I think) set is seriously tempting…even though I know I can’t handle the weight of the heavier sets

It is time for a neck press regimen…

These are beautiful!! It appears my plan to sleep in and not be tempted by the ZMF sale this year worked

There were some other amazing sets that have been taken, I’m curious to see who got them! So happy for you all.

Congrats! Absolutely gorgeous! Those look just like the ones I bought, but mine will have copper grills and rods. Is that wood dark Ambrosia Maple?

It's the regular Maple wood.

Thanks

Wow, that one indeed the darkest colour tone of Maple Auteur I ever seen.

Now the obvious question since I don't know anything about the Auteur. Which pads do you recommend me if I'm telling you that the HD600 are a bit shouty for me in the 3Khz/4Khz region? I'm only listening to Prog-Rock and Metal music.

Auteur perf hybrid. Try the stock Auteur perf lambksin first. If that doesn satisfy you, then give the hybrids a shot. If you want more bass at the cost of a soundstage and air, then eikon lamb or eikon suede a good alternative as well.

I will be receiving this padauk Auteur:

Actually, I already have used teak Auteur. I like it so much that I wanted to swap it to something even more special.

Coming (!) soon: Debbie Does DarkVoice; You’ve Got Male (RCA Connectors)…

@zach915m began with films, that is the "F" in ZMF.

We are sharing new auteurs! My turn for another red tinged beauty, this one in cocobolo. It's going to feel like a long wait...

 

[Beaflag VonRathburg]

Joining the club with this bocote set. I've been looking a bit, but haven't found a definitive answer. Does anyone have an index or document the various wood series ZMF has released over time for one or all of the lineup?

Edit - Found this weight spreadsheet earlier in the thread: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tlcAeqy4_keJpFNAeNaEDMSChuiRA2dzz8aYkz79lig/edit#gid=0

I’m having mixed emotions with the Blackwood Auteur due to arrive any day now. My Ash Auteur looks so good that I don’t know that I’ll be able to let it go even if the Blackwood dethrones it sonically!
