ZMF November 2024 // Schedule - Announcements and MEGATHREAD!

[peppy]

Still patiently waiting on my amboyna burl atrium open but I had also ordered a brown mallee verite for my wife and a mega salire stand which both came in yesterday! First time Zmf owner and the craftsmanship is absolutely amazing.

Can you give me the measurements of the mega salire base?

Hey! Katharine here!

As Zach mentioned earlier, we wanted to take a moment to share an update on our shipping status. First off, a big thank you for your incredible patience while you wait for your headphones. We totally get that the anticipation can be a mix of excitement and a little bit of anxiety!

Right now, our shipping team is busy preparing a batch of Atrium Stabilized headphones, along with some additional B-Stock units that will be heading out this week. If you’ve got a B-Stock or Rarity order, keep your eyes peeled for those tracking emails—they're coming your way!

We’re down to fewer than 30 B-Stock units left, and our goal is to ship them all out in the next couple of weeks, while still prioritizing current orders. If you need to tweak your shipping address or have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@zmfheadphones.com. We’re here to help!

Thank you for being such a fantastic part of our community. We can’t wait for you to experience your new headphones soon!

Thanks for the Update. Anything you can share on the timeline for the Bokeh Opens to start shipping?

Wow! Those are absolutely stunning.

That looks amazing. The wood looks like a really nice cooked marbled waygu steak.

Can you give me the measurements of the mega salire base?

If the OP put that Salire on what I think is an Eversolo A6 Streamer then you can an idea of size of it. I get mines Sunday so I can post measurements then and compare it to the normal size salire.

Yup it fits nicely on my dmp-a6 but I'll give you an exact measurement of the base later today.

@ThanatosVI

Mega salire base measure 7" wide by 10" length and has a height of 17".

Just noticed that my favorite solid state amp of all time is available right now, I'm not always able to recommend them as they aren't always available -

https://nitschsound.com/products/dsha-3fn

This one uses the "Amorphous" transformer, which is more 3D and holographic. There was a "Nickel" version back in the day before the Nitsch one, which was more lush, but I think the Amorphous sound is the best version for the wisest array of headphones.

Anyways apparently, there's a limited amount left - if you're in the market for a solid state this is the one I usually recommend if trying to get something that's a step up from the Cayin IHA-8 - which IMHO is pretty hard to do!

Between that and the Homage, which would you recommend for tube lovers? Those looking for a more tube like experience vs the traditional solid state sound? For me personally i'd want the thicker, lusher, more euphonic sounding option.

Knowing your taste you'd absolutely LOVE the Nickel version but I'm not sure I'd recommend the amorphous version that this is. This one is more deft and holographic, it has the tube holography which is why I love it so much, but it's not that classic tube lushness.

Homage isn't quite all the way there either in tube sound; it's pretty even-handed and a touch lush.

The Violectric stuff is more lush, but not has holographic.

The Wells audio stuff I think would be up your alley, have you ever heard a Milo?

Woah! That's MEGA!

More of these going out soon as well.

I got to hear the Amorphous version 3FN, and it was a bit lean for my taste. That said, I am not sure it would be your thing. Like Zach said, I bet you (and I) would love the Nickel version, and I would keep an eye out in the secondary market for one of those. They don't come up often, but there is always a chance. . .

Very useful breakdown!
DSHA-3FN is great for the ZMF dynamic driver headphones, but not so much for the Caldera right?

Maybe with Caldera it’s gonna be good because of its moderately high impedance for a planar

I have heard the Milo! Been awhile though, quite a while actually. I do remember loving it with the Atticus.
