I think we're all a bit impatient haha But what's an extra few quid for Saturday shipping when you know you'll be able to enjoy them a few days earlier
Rob, that is a truly beautiful HP!!! Very happy to see that you are one of the first VC users worldwide, and very much looking forward to your impressions!!!

I have actually gone down a different route and am now getting mine tomorrow for no extra cost!
Blimey that sounds like a right pain! I hope you enjoy them.
Has anybody compared the VC with the Fostex th900mk 2 or Abyss TCs yet? I only started following this thread recently, but all of your positive reactions have me interested in learning more.
Also, that purple set somebody posted earlier is so beautiful. :wow:
I have never seen dyed ZMFs. Was that a special order? If so, how do you go about ordering that type of customization?
Very nice, I think you might have scooped the first shots of an Ironwood actually in the hands of a customer! Be interesting to see how mine compare looks wise as I went for polished steel rods and the charcoal bronze chassis.
I am assuming you went and collected yours today? That is what I am doing tomorrow, I didn't think about that option until I got home from working in London so it was a bit late by then... I am really going to have to force myself to go to the gym (haven't been for a couple of weeks due to holiday/injury) before getting sucked into listening or I will never get out my chair again.

First, I hope any injuries are a blip, not a long running irritation. Be well!
As you guessed, I went to pick them up. I have important work tomorrow, else I would absolutely be taking the day off! I am sure yours will be *beautiful*. I went black so as to leave the wood in focus. In the end, I think you might be winning however! Aamer has been great with letting us eager beavers manage local pickups.

Thanks, it is nothing too bad just a bit of a shoulder strain, it is getting there just taking it easy. Leg day tomorrow so the shoulder is fairly safe.
Work... Pesky thing always getting in the way, I guess it funds our madness though lol! I would much rather sit and listen to music all day though, we can dream right? I can see the logic behind that and they certainly look stunning, the wood definitely pops. I bet we must be driving Aamer mad

thanks Jorge, they're definitely photogenic, but look even better in the wood. I'm sorry you've got such a wait. Good news is i think its going to be worth it.
Ive had them burning for about 6 hours, but listening now and first thoughts are, wow thats where my favourite kickdrums have been all this time. They sound very complete out of the box, more so than the Stellia's, which really did need every minute of 150hrs to properly come together. Obvs too early to give any reliable impressions, but ive been wearing them for nearly 3 hours now and they disappear on the head, feeling much lighter than i'd expected, clamping force seems just right and the seal is great, i cant hear the tumble dryer in the other room which thanks to my two boys is a permanent noise fixture 24/7 in our house.
First and immediate impressions of how they sound: the stage is the widest i've CB i've heard and hype is real, for the first time with a CB i dont feel short changed on this front with the upside of CB dynamism and impact. its weird they are fuller than Stellias, but i'm not really hearing any less detail, which is a real surprise... mmmm big smiles, so far and i cant see myself leaving these alone while they run in. I'm not even managing to rattle through my usual test tracks, instead i've just got lost listening to the whole of Fourtet Live at Alexandra Palace, anyone who's ordered and likes electronica, you need not worry, it seems the VC's definitely do techno !!
Congrats @chrisdrop those ironwood look lovely. Looking forward to seeing a raft of pics of everyones new arrivals
I am already doing that instinctively. Trying to feel the sound, the timbre, the resolution and imaging. Then I get carried away and find myself staring blankly at a wall at work with an open mouth . I only can guess what my coworkers make of that scene.
Well the truth is I am absolutely not a bit jealous. I emulate (if that’s the correct word) and really very happy for your bliss. Enjoy it well!
