I saw one or two in Dallas and they are great looking. Congrats and enjoy them. Make sure to visit the AC thread and the ZMF AMP threads as wellAll my top picks for AC stabilized got devoured really fast.

Just wanted to thank the hardworking members of the ZMF team. I placed my order for the Homage amp, and in 43 minutes, it's already gotten a tracking number. That's pretty amazing!
I was really torn between stabilized AC's, but I figured an amp upgrade would benefit all my current cans instead. Really looking forward to hearing it soon!

I got my first pair of ZMFs earlier on in the week, a used pair of OG Auteurs on the recommendation of a friend in a FB group. They don't have a huge presence here in the UK but I was so impressed when they arrived. They are bliss on my Eufonika OTL amp. Over the last month I bought a Hifiman HE6SEV2, HE1000 Stealth and Sennheisser HD800S, they all got returned because for me they were missing something I couldn't explain.
So I carried on researching and that's what led me to ZMF November. I was amazed at all these stabilised pairs and couldn't stop looking at the photos. I moved to primarily using HPs after my son was born last year, I get less chance to sit alone with the stereo but I can put on a pair of headphones and sit in the corner, so decided I wanted a pair of ACs to compliment my Auteur OG. Eventually after moping about the house and making a sad face my wife relented and gave me permission to buy a pair of ACs when they dropped.
I had a list and managed to bag my number 2.. the Yondu, it was a close second to the Waltz, but I love it and am so excited for it to cross the Atlantic! (This is my first post, long time lurker, not sure how to upload a photo..)

Thanks! I was looking through the pictures and I kept coming back to them they just seemed to connect for me. Some really great ones and I had a list of the ones I liked in case but I was really happy to get these.I don't have the budget for them but Altin is my favorite looking from the stabilized ACs and might even be my favorite of everything from this ZMF November! Congrats!
Yondu is an amazing set! If I didn’t already have an AC that’s the one I would’ve tried grabbingI got my first pair of ZMFs earlier on in the week, a used pair of OG Auteurs on the recommendation of a friend in a FB group.

There's a couple of ones in the video's that may have gone to dealers I believe or are going out to them shortly. Our dealers do have access to buy Stabilized and LTD headphones, but as with any of these they can't buy the ones off the site. A lot of times the ones they buy are already sold to a customer, which isn't what we'd prefer but does happen.@zach915m
Hi Zach, by any chance, is this model going up for sale? as I cant seem to find it. (The one on the bottom)

Our team has done a great job getting things QC'd and out the door after the assembly process. My intuition says 1-5 weeks and we will have them all out, most likely most will fall in the 1-3 week timeline, BUT we put up to 8 weeks as getting them out in perfect shape is most important to me and sometimes it does take some time to perfectly match the pads and all that.Please if you don’t mind me asking, anyone have an idea of the lead-time for stabilised calderas?

Thanks for the clarification Zach ! I'm still super chuffed that I managed to snag the 'Timbre'.There's a couple of ones in the video's that may have gone to dealers I believe or are going out to them shortly. Our dealers do have access to buy Stabilized and LTD headphones, but as with any of these they can't buy the ones off the site.

I have no retort.Should have taken the day off. But now you’ve learned your lesson and will get your priorities straight next time.

Sadly not.Thanks, and I know it's all in good camaraderie and fun!
Sorry about you missing the start, hopefully there's a set that still peaks your interest.
Negroni, Banff or Thallo were the ones I was after.
Stunning headphones.

I’m glad someone finally bought those. I’d never heard of that wood type, looked it up- and it’s apparently only bested by Lignum Vitae in Janka hardness. Wild.All my top picks for AC stabilized got devoured really fast. I was set on getting Redwood Burl as my fall back but looks like someone sniped those as well. Ended up getting the Red Coolibah and can’t wait to hear these beauties.

Did you know those have a Janka hardness of 3730 Lbf?All my top picks for AC stabilized got devoured really fast. I was set on getting Redwood Burl as my fall back but looks like someone sniped those as well. Ended up getting the Red Coolibah and can’t wait to hear these beauties.
It is insane
Will there be Homage versions with different wood options or maybe even stabilized wood with resin (if that's possible) in the future?
In the recent Homage video Zach confirmed that they are looking into one off Homage variants with rare and stabilised woods.Will there be Homage versions with different wood options or maybe even stabilized wood with resin (if that's possible) in the future?
