As was mentioned above, the Caldera and Susvara are quite different.....like totally.
I will speak briefly about the two in my Caldera review, which will be live this week.

Golden Coffee Oak, with Coffee Gold grille and rods. $3399 at release, $3699 MSRP. The do not weigh more, as we used aluminum for weight saving on the grille, and matched it to the Coffee gold that matches our proprietary ZMF jacks on the ZMF braided cables.

I love the attention to detail with the Golden Coffee Oak, the color coordination is beautiful. I can't wait for future Ltd wood offerings.

I would think so if one knows they love the Susvara. CanJam was my first time listening to both. Dying to buy the Caldera, but wouldn't be interested in the Susvara even if it was the same price, myself. I found the Susvara less engaging than the Arya Stealth and HE1000v2, but of course show conditions and with an open headphone in that huge, crowded room it's really hard to give anything a proper listen. Even the Caldera on the Red October didn't impress me as much as it did in the more quiet ZMF room. I didn't find the Caldera and Susvara very similar.
Listening to the susvara at hifimans table at canjam was futile for me as well. I waited 20 minutes and spent two minutes on it. I could clearly hear the music being played from the person sitting next to me. I had much better results at headphones.com’s table on their dcs stack.

That being said, I don’t have a dcs stack. I also have a love for beautiful things (ask my wife!) and fell in love with the look and feel of the caldera. I did not for a second regret my decision to buy the caldera instead of a sus.

I’m counting on a closed back atrium coming before a closed caldera to complete my set :).

I was on the fence about which finish, or to wait for a future LTD, but this picture may have sold me on Golden Coffee Oak. It's beautiful :heart_eyes:
