I was lucky enough to snag the Grimace! Can’t wait. Then again, I did purchase a Camphur Burl pair (rarities; non B-stock) on Wednesday. But I just couldn’t resist the Stabilized. I collect guitars and the finish reminds of a beautiful guitar (like a Private Stock PRS, for those who are familiar). In any event, I now have two pairs on order and as much as I would like to keep both, it’s hard to justify. PM me please if you would like me to “assign” you the Burl and have them shipped directly from ZMF at a bit of a discount.

I can't wait to see pictures

I loved the Blush Bhatik! So awesome, but alas it was not to be - I was there at 2pm CST but someone beat me to them. Whoever you are, I hope you are thankful the day after Thanksgiving for scoring such an amazing pair of headphones. So beautiful!

 

[Colozeus]

i still can't believe someone beat me to my order. It took me less than one minute to fill out and complete my order. And this was right at 2pm CST after i had been refreshing every second.

All were very, very nice headphones. I appreciate the creative names as much as the finishes themselves. I would've loved to have been in the room while @zach915m and team came up with those names. I bet it was fun! I don't know if Zach is a Game of Thrones fan, but if he makes one with swirls of green and names it "Wildfire" I call dibs on it right now!

@OverMyHead great call on the PRS comparison - I also love the fretboards on those guitars. Amazing character and attention to detail

I agree about naming the headphones, I would have loved to see the name along side the actual headphones.

That’s a hot take for sure! Maybe something on the underside of the leather band would be cool. All I know is that I need to somehow convince my wife that the sound from my auteurs is annoying her and that the solution will be to wait until about Thanksgiving 2021 to buy a VC from ZMF November.

That would cause a lot more work...I think it was just a great idea for when selling them to have a name associated with them instead of set A/B/C ect.
To me all of these stabilized sets are one of headphones.

Ahh maybe I misinterpreted. I thought you meant to have the name somewhere on the actual headphone, like emblazoned across one of the cups (which is why I was saying that’s a hot take).

I think they’re awesome the way they are personally!

has anyone tried them with monoprice liquid platinum? Is it a good pairing? How's the experience?

 

[4LoveOfSound]

I powered mine with an LP for about a year before upgrading to a Pendant a few weeks ago. I ran my LP balanced in/out so that is what my experience is based off of. I enjoyed the pairing. I used a pair of Holland made RCA tubes for extra bass and a pair of Japan made Toshiba tubes for just clarity and beautiful smooth mids and treble. The Pendant brings the VC to a whole different level though.

I am curtrently using an LP with my VC while I wait for my new custom amp and they sound amazing. I have found my favorite pair of tubes to be 1958 12AU7 Amperex long plate D getters followed by a pair of Brimar square getters. I have several other pairs of tubes which all sound good but those 2 stand out so far as my favorites. I also run my LP balanced in/out with a Music Fidelity MX DAC and a Sony WM1Z as the source.

I just saw your sig, and I was wondering what you think of running the VC from the Arche. I know that a tube amp is preferable, but I'd appreciate your feedback on this.

I am using a different DAC with the Arche, a Sonnet Morpheus, and it sounds fantastic. I am thinking about selling the Arche when my new amp arrives as I have determined I prefer the warmth tubes offer, but I have truly enjoyed the Arche, especially with the VC. I purchased the Morpheus to pair with a new hybrid tube amp, and since it arrived before my amp is finished, I hooked it up to the Arche which I had been listening to without a DAC. The Morpheus brought the Arche to life, soundstage is larger, detail is better, bass has more slam, and vocals have come to the forefront. I bought the Arche/Clear bundle which sounds amazing but I enjoy the VCs more with the Arche. Hope that helps.
