Can't wait for the CanJam people to give a little description of the sound of the CC. I love my Caldera Open and how the Bokeh is with Bass I hope this will be some kind of mixture between those.

In one of the forums they wrote that it will be between AC and CO

The Subbass on the AC seems to be pretty insane I heard.. That in a Caldera would be pretty sick!

Hi, Zach.

I've been searching for a good tube amp for my 2 ZMF's (Aeolus and Auteur) at the moment. I know that the commercial version will be built by Cayin, but will it be sold by ZMF? If so, when will it be available, and at what price range? Like 6A price range? Sorry about asking this, but I currently have a Cayin 300B used in good shape for 3500€, but the ability of the Aegis to tube roll and its possibilites, and obviously sound quality, makes me wonder.

Thanks,
João

The list is going to be $3499 and there will be bundle discounts offered as well.

Yes, the bass is crazy. And I really like this. I think this will not harm the caldera either.

That's all I got for now. See the youtube video for a few looks at the Caldera Closed and Bokeh open. Will be posting more info on these as well as pics as we finish the sets for CanJam.

Now that you're going into geometric shapes for headphones can i get a cup with this? love how the CC is looking! that thing is so unique with the triangle design.

I know they're not final yet, but I love the new Bokeh Open grille. And I'm fascinated by Caldera Closed. I'll need to work on my neck muscles for longer term sessions.

No one has mentioned it here yet, but those Bokeh closed sitting on the little Cayin amp are beautiful. Is that the new stock "natural" look, or the LTD cherry run a while back? If not either, what are they??? Hot!

*** EDIT *** Now having watched the video, I see that those ARE the new natural finish Bokeh.

I think those may be the new alternative look for the Bokeh.

Yeah Zach mentions in the video that's the look for the next 250 batch (dunno if it's 'stock' going forward) - I really dig the figuring, though prefer the stained colour of the first batch.

Omg this is fantastic I was just thinking last night I wish ZMF made pads for the XS looking forward to the resin drop in a month or two as well instead of in November

 

[Monsterzero]

I have prahhhh-blehms.

I read that in Johnny Rotten's voice.

Caldera Closed, you say? And just when I thought I was done buying stuff…

I also think I’m done, after another purchase. And then Zach comes..........

 

[KUROKOCCHL]

Excited for the Caldera Closed! Can't wait to see how stabilized sets look with that design
