Tubed: Amps and Sounds Kenzie and Amps and Sounds Encore
Solid State: GSX-Mini and Burson Conductor 3X Reference.

The Aeolus are not my daily drivers though. Lately I've been using Focal Clear, Ether 2 OR Aeon2 Noire (with my DAP).
My main amp is the GSX-mini. How is the pairing? I am planning to add an Echo mk2 before too long, as well.

Delighted to nab VO Hadria V. Really wanted these as they are predominately gorgeous burl wood with just an accent of epoxy resin that to me looks like marble with black veins. Just spectacular ! Thanks Zach, Bevin and all the artisan craftsman whose labor of love is very evident in the final product. I only wish you could break them in for me so I can truly enjoy them a week sooner.

All the wood is stabilized as well - so they all are alike a very dense, non-reverberous (prob not a word) wood. They sound very much alike a Blackwood or Ironwood to my ear, fast decay and very quick sound.

The woods in the Resin sets include, Oak, Buckeye Burl, Maple Burl, and Cherry Burl.



All of our headphones carry the warranty to the original owner only - full details of our terms are here: https://www.zmfheadphones.com/zmf-faq
With the resin sets being these woods curious if anyone knows what wood the Vahlisa is?

I got my first VO pick. They should make lovely contrast with the VC I picked up last year. Hopefully I won't regret any decisions once the stabilized VO sets are done.

Without buying used from another ZMF owner, it’s hard to beat a good B-stock deal. You get the benefit of seeing the exact set you’ll be receiving and a full lifetime warranty on the drivers. I’m seriously tempted even though I already own 3 ZMF’s and have very little disposable cash left!

What was your top VO pick?

The used prices don't yield much of a price break. The B Stock is definitely the way to go. The only ZMFs you see with much of a price drop on the used market have cosmetic damage. Having the warranty makes more sense to me.

Is it me or are the epoxy headphones still available?
About 1/3 of the 80 units are left, remember the earlier drops were batches of 30, and sold out in 5 minutes. If this were a batch of 30 it would have as well.

My personal strategy is to only buy used sets that are prime examples of their respective wood type. What pushes me over the edge is when a beautiful used set comes with a lot of extras like upgraded cables thrown in.
