ZMF HOT CUP SUMMER PT II: Labor Day Edition
Sep 4, 2022 at 10:54 PM Post #76 of 151
On an iPhone, when trying to buy a macassar, at checkout I was told it was no longer available. I was too slow. Then when going to my second choice, which was still available, I missed that one because the first headphone was still in my cart, even though it was not available. By the time I managed to clear all of the items, and several error screens, it was gone :frowning2:.

Fate was telling me to demo things at canjam instead of blind buying. Hope there are some cool things!

Congrats to everyone who got one!

Looks like all but one of the VCs I was considering were grabbed in the first 30min. I'm not entirely sold on my need for VC right now so I wasn't going to try to get any right at go-live. I'm going to wait/sleep on it a few more days and see if the last remaining draws me in.
There are definitely some killer VCs still left!
@zach915m Can I pay cash for a headphone at canjam? I tried to buy something today but my card kept declining for no good reason. I’d hate to have my card decline at canjam as well.


Are you planning on having new stuff for Atrium Stabilized then?
Oh yeah credit cards can be fussy! Cash in person is OK when not shipping. We will have some special one off headphones at Canjam, not totally sure yet what exactly as we will make them in the next couple weeks.

Oh man! Well if you'll be at Canjam it's going to be awesome.

I see wooden case is available. Is there a way to order seahorse case as well?

Fingers crossed on some atrium stabilized 🤞🤞.

I can add the SH case as an option, you would want it with the cutout for a headphone or with all the foam in tact? I can make options for both.

Thanks a lot, Zach
I would like with cutout

If I update the driver's on the Auteur, will the drivers be saved for possible reuse if they pass rigor?
Were keeping a small trove of drivers for possible driver issues from OG owners down the road.

Yeah, I see no need to update Auteur. Maybe a new assembler education program? And send the ones they make to the new quality control listener program?

I got the email and head over to the [adjective of choice] headphones ... I actually am cheering on the last Auteur Classic ... you go guy! You can get picked!

Omg, what have I done? Seeing the preview of Fika this friday, I haven't been able to get them out of my mind all weekend. Went to sleep last night thinking they would finally be gone this morning, but NO!? After another few hours of fighting inner demons, I finally gave in. These are the most beautiful wood I've ever seen - I can't wait to see them in person

Even though it's a holiday weekend, slightly surprised there are not more takers for the Auteur upgrade. Though I should not be, I've decided I love my Auteur too much to surrender it for all time.

Maybe one day a Classic will drop into my hive!

I disagree with the idea this is a straight upgrade. Maybe it measures better, but the sound has many qualitative changes ... the old driver is drier, the new one is more rubbery, has more rebound (whatever the H that is supposed to mean. C'mon seriously? REBOUND. Somebody call the audiophile brain police!).

I just got fired. Off I go!

Seriously good looking headphones yo'!

On the auteur upgrade does the new designed grille get put on? Or do you have to pay the add on to swap all the chassis parts instead of the one piece that has a new design?

These Auteur Classic Ltds are so cool. Might have to sell the Aeolus in order to fund the purchase. Sighh...

Also, just had to say the Hot Cup Summer videos are frickin' hilarious.

The grille stays the same regardless, that part is permanantly in there.

Thanks in all fronts! 😂 I didn't have a lot of time for the video next time I'll make it crazier.
