Were working on it! You'll be sent something in the next couple days.

Sounds good, thanks Zach!

Wow @ProfFalkin this is a new and different grade of fanboyism, this is truly an S Tier submissive servant behavior.

I really can't say if I like gear more or less than other gear, whether it's something we make at ZMF or not. But I can definitely point out things like -

Feliks Elise is OTL, will change more depending on tubes, has a baseline warmer sound {with stock tubes} , and will work with dynamic headphone mostly.

Pendant is transformer based, has more power output, a more linear stock tube baseline sound, and will work with dynamic headphones and planar.

They obviously are both great amps, but for opinions - I would point you to many fabulous reviews, like the video @MRphotography just posted - which I honestly haven't watched yet but just saw was posted! I think it's some sort of comparison of the two?

I love Feliks and think they do fantastic work and definitely recommend their amps without reservation.

Thanks @zach915m , this is exactly what I was looking for.

@Colozeus going to be doing a live stream discussing the two amps and their sound with the Verite tomorrow Friday December 4th 7:00 PST join us if you can!





Thank you @zach915m appreciate you!

It's not fanboyism, it's pragmatism, but thanks for the ad hominem reply. I guess you have no counterpoint, so you resort to attacking me and not my argument. Shameful.

The logic here is not submissive servant behavior, it's just blatantly obvious that you can't remove someone's vested interest and bias in their own products. Go ask Justin from Headamp who has the better circuit design and sound in amplifiers - him or Schiit. Ask Dan Clark who has the better headphone - him or Audeze? What kind of answer do you honestly expect these people to give you?

So why would you ask the question in the first place if you can't get an unbiased, uninfluenced, or anything but a non-committal answer? You want honesty in the reply, don't you? It's a waste of his time and yours.

Any smart reply from a smart business owner would be very neutral and nonspecific to avoid trash talking a competitor, disparaging one's own products, avoid looking like a shameless shill, or any other myriad of behaviors that people could misconstrue as negative. It's just simple PR, man.

Exhibit A: Zach's reply above.

I'd point out that all of the information Zach provided could have been obtained by a simple search and a little reading.

Have a good day.

All I’ve got is my order confirmation. Maybe Zach hasn’t sent out the link yet for ZMF November orders. I’m sure he’ll let us know when he has the info posted.

I'm also waiting for the link to the spreadsheet. I'm chalking it up to them being swamped from ZMF November.

I can understand people wanting to know if an amp has good synergy with headphones. The only thing is that there is more involved, like the dac, regardless of what some may think, they are not all created equal. This means even a certain amp can sound a bit different with a different dac.

Any amp that can provide the goods can sound good with ZMF headphones, be it tube or SS design.
I have three different amp designs and the VC sounds fantastic on all three of them to be perfectly honest.
Tubes are more euphoric and can provide more bass IMO. What tubes are used has a lot to do with the sound and being able to change the tone up a little is what I think draws most people to tubes .A good SS may sound a bit more detailed and a little drier to some,again the dac has a huge role here.
I can totally enjoy my VC on all my amps and I honestly think most people fear a little to much on getting something that will not sound good with there headphones.
I say fear not and enjoy the music as the VC produces it in spades.

I start my day with a cup of earl grey and VO. My WIP stabilized VC will be paired with a cup of hojicha in the evenings.

Hojicha is amazing. I lived in Japan for a time in college and my host mother would make it after dinner every night. So amazing to get the fire roast flavor with green tea.

Oh absolutely. It's a perfect evening tea for relaxation. My set was also gifted to me by a friend who is currently living in Japan.

Now I just need my VC so I don't disturb my family in the evenings

Incidentally does anyone know if all the various ZMF headphones in their various woods live somewhere in a photo collection?

 

[roskodan]

Ok here you go... The VC is like a HD800 with actual bass. The Aeolus is like a HD650 that's actually engaging without the mid suck out.

I have to ask which wood was on the VC and Aeolus, 'cos it's not the same sound wise. Since you preference leaned toward the Aeolus.

While I've not found one, when using a desktop browser it's easy to see all the pics posted in each ZMF thread. (upper right, See full thread gallery). I think there are 4 others aside from this one, a combined Atticus/Eikon, VO, Auteur, Aeolus. Probably not every single wood but many of them including Zach posting images for some of the LTD releases.

We're working on a gallery for the site with a timeline! Hopefully will be done before the end of the month.
