I'm just in the odd here, when I think of a tube amp, I kinda want a "tube" sound, or else I'd just stick to a SS and call it. it has that tube dynamics with a clean, clear sound ? does the ZMF pendant do anything to the vocals, or mid range ? I'm just interested in a tube amp that'll add a more Romantic, viseral mid range to my headphones. I was looking at that Cayin HA-6A tube amp seems very interesting and it looks like it'll drive dynamic and Planar seems like jack of all trades very nice looking Tube amp.

I think your take is pretty common, as a lot of people look for that kind of sound. I find that the Pendant has the positive attributes that I'm looking for in a tube amp... Tremendous midrange with a natural, cohesive sound and a realistic sense of space around instruments. It combines this with dynamics, pace and impact that I might find more common in solid state amps. Best of both worlds, for me.

From what you're saying, I think you should look at an OTL amp. I loved the Bottlehead Crack and kind of wish I didn't sell it, looking back. I do plan on getting another OTL amp at some point just as alternative option.

I am not angry at all, I absolutely love how they turned out.
Not a LTD, they are silk wood with a dark stain.
Will be listening and buring them in for a while. Stay tuned for initial thoughts.

Your new Verite is the strongest argument for silkwood I've ever seen. That wood is off-the-charts beautiful...

@Pharmaboy thank you for the kind words. @RMarks271 Verite from back in April was the inspiration for these babies.
Of course the ultimate thanks to @zach915m for crafting them!

Agreed. They are stunning. I’m definitely going to get a set of VC to pair with my Aeolus, just not sure on the best ordering option to get to the UK.

Acorn Audio in the UK is getting a shipment in this coming week with a v closed or two I believe. May be worth contacting them to grab one!

I never paid much attention to silkwood before--but when it's stained like that, it has my complete attention!

I should ask--what type of metal are the screens & sliders made of? Brass? Hard to tell that from photos.

Whatever that metal is, it's perfect.
