I agree, I really like both the (stock) XLR and quarter inch cables. Look decent, fairly ergonomical and sound great.
I agree with this which surprises me, considering how much Auteur sound can move around with different amps.Any cable is fine. The stock cable is good enough.
Entirely dependent on the sight tweak you'd want to make, as to whether you'd like it brighter, darker, more expansive, smoother, etc.Which cable is best for Auteur?

I concur.Entirely dependent on the sight tweak you'd want to make, as to whether you'd like it brighter, darker, more expansive, smoother, etc.
And dependent on the specific cable within that.
All that with a re-emphasis on the tweak not being massive, though that also depends on the transparency of your chain, i.e. source/dac/amp.
Think about what part of the sound you'd like to tweak and go from there.
I may decide to screw back the filter since it offers more protection of the drivers. I thought it was a bit darker than I like initially, but whether through burn in, getting used to the sound, or removing the Bopp filter, it’s more acceptable now. From what I gather there are Bopp filter meshes that are acoustically transparent. So it may have been a placebo effect to removing it.No, I definitely wouldn't remove the filter. Interesting and illustrates how individual our preferences are. I don't hear Auteur as veiled or dark at all, and wouldn't want treble any more extended. Glad you found a way to mod to your preferred sound, though.
I could be wrong here, but I think I remember Zach saying the bopp filter quells the highs a touch, so not 100% transparent.I may decide to screw back the filter since it offers more protection of the drivers.

Having ordered 2 ZMFs now, I know better than to go with base shipping.Three days ago, I received an email that my Auteurs were moving on to the assembly phase, which would take 1-2 weeks, followed by some time in QC. I just received another email that they're already on their way! This is a fantastic little surprise. I can't wait for them to get here. When I placed the order, I figured I would go with the base shipping since I'd already be waiting quite a while for them. Now that they're on their way, I reeeally wish I had upgraded to expedited hahaha. I'm so excited to join the Auteur brigade!
That's probably because Zach has admitted he's not the best at updating his spreadsheet which is fine by me since his work is outstanding. It does make for some happy little surprises though.Three days ago, I received an email that my Auteurs were moving on to the assembly phase, which would take 1-2 weeks, followed by some time in QC.

I literally asked Zach directly this question of similar nature, I hope he doesn't mind me sharingSo I know ZMF recommends the Mohawk Penthouse Polish for taking care of the wood, but has anyone outside the US found a suitable substitute?
