Somehow I start want to experiment with other copper cable. Between norne draug 3 or forza (whatever the type). Anyone tried both of them with VO?

While cleaning the house, took a little detour and gave these a quick polish with the recommended 'Mohawk finishing product.'

They clean up nice!

@KPzypher
Do you mind posting a link of the product that you used? I would like to maintain my VC camphor burl and clean in up.

Thank you

Here you go. I believe this is what @zach915m recommends.


Per ZMF website,
Most ZMF Headphones use Lacquer or a hard curing handwiped varnish. For these headphones we highly recommend using MoHawk Penthouse Polish:

For headphones with a matte finish such as Barnwood, or rustic and aged type finishes, we recommend using just a dry cloth to wipe your headphones clean. This also includes headphones made from pheasantwood.

Thanks brother. Did you spray it directly on the headphone or use any type of cloth?

Anyone know what happen if I use mohawk on pheasantwood?

I have both in pure copper and both are great and you won't go wrong with any. With faster shipping option you may get Forza cable quicker. However only issue I have with forza is heavy barrel they use otherwise no complain and I find it very musical.

Pheasantwood should really just have a dry cloth used on it.

Oh you have both, thanks for the hint here.

Been looking too many shiny wood (of ZMF) I guess, and made me wonder if my mate colour of pheasantwood should got special treatment. Thanks for the confirmation Zach!

Cut the centers out of the BE2 pads because I found it dulled the upper midrange and top end. Now time to see if I like it.

How are your pheasantwoods looking without any treatment?

I bought a 2nd hand pair here and while I’ve got no sonic or comfort complaints.

The finish on mines is peeling and is giving way to an uneven look that while doesn’t affect my overall sense enjoyment it...it’s not exactly ideal (in my specific case) in a $2600 headphone

Took this photo few weeks ago:

Forgot to post this photo here. Filter 2 works the best for me. Ultra smooth sounding set up, with fluid and effortless feel.

Well I have no complaint in term of sound at all. In fact I like it more than few other woods that I able to tried.

Yes, uneven look at some area also noticeable on my pair. Need bright light to see them though, and a bit hard to photograph.

Today is the day. I got the delivery notification yesterday and I'm waiting patiently for the Fedex driver. Why can't Fedex show the vehicle location like UPS.
Feels like Christmas Day!!! Maybe Zach and Bev are Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

So the Pheasantwoods do have a different finish than the newest models.

I like the oil finish look on yours. I’m going to rub on some fretboard wax and see how it looks.

As beautiful as the burls and figures are I think the Pheasantwoods are one of the nicest tone woods on the Verite so far.
