I have a new server and streamer coming in, so I won’t need my Innuos Phoenix anymore. I previously had some Verite Closed headphones, but sold them. I’m sort of regretting that decision and want to try the VCs again.
The Innuos Phoenix USB is an amazing component. It costs $3499 new:

If I wasn’t getting this new server and streamer, I’d definitely be keeping the Phoenix.
If anybody is interested in trading a stabilized set of VCs for the Innuos Phoenix USB, please message me
Anyone have any insight on whether or not it's a very bad idea to stick a ModMic base onto one of ZMF's wood headphones? I want to use my ModMic, but have always been paranoid about sticking the base onto wood headphones, so my Sextetts act as my special "I need better audio for this Zoom call" cans. @zach915m do you have any particular take on stickies on your work?
ZMF headphones hand-crafts wood headphones in Chicago, USA with special attention to exceptional sound and craftsmanship.

Eh, that's a solution, but not a great one... can't use a combined headphone/mic cable with a desktop amp. I'll probably keep using the Sextetts for important Zoom calls.The amount of damage would depend on the wood and the adhesion, but there will be some damage, if just to the finish.
ZMF makes a cable with a built-in mic as an alternative:

Honestly I should have done the same, but it’s probably too late to get that as an upgrade cable for my VC.I've removed Mod Mics from Hifiman Ananda, Audeze Penrose, and Sony XM3 headphones without issue to their plastic fantastic surfaces, but obviously the handcrafted wood ZMFs are a different proposition. Thinking along the same lines, I ordered the ZMF gaming cable-mic with my VC's. Ill provide an update when I receive the VC's. (Order date 5/14).
Why do you say that? It looks like the gaming cable isn't offered as an option in the drop-down list for the upgrade cable when ordering VCs. I imagine it's likely for ZMF to have gaming cables in stock, and so long as your VCs haven't shipped yet and if you can contact them in time, you should be able to have them included in your shipped order.Honestly I should have done the same, but it’s probably too late to get that as an upgrade cable for my VC.

Hugo 2 and VC are a lovely pairing, but you really need an external amp to bring it to fruition. I don't know the Rebel amp, but looks nice. For under a 1k or so, Liquid Platinum or something from Feliks or Flux Labs would work well. Thereafter, options expand.I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on a monkey pod vc. I currently own a rebel amp hooked up to a hugo2. What easily obtainable amps/dacs that don’t cost a fortune go well with the vc. I’ve been considering other the vc or stellia for almost a year!
