Love my Decware/ZMF OTL + Taboo MK2.5 (SE84TS+)

will have that combo next week, will try to report

Black & white ebony... such a gorgeous wood... love your set!!!

Heard this one at CanJam Chicago 2022. Bling at all, they actually sounded pretty awesome.. 🤪

My shou sugi ban ash demo unit has the BBB strap either way, once can be fitted on any zmf headphone afaik, but not sure what's the stock config

The subbass is more elevated on the AC, but it’s equally extended on the CC without being elevated. Sound stage feels more holographic on the CC. Neither of these headphones is lacking in neither of those areas but, relatively speaking, they defer in how they present them from each other.

Sounds like something I’d want to try with EL37.. If there were two things I could change on the DIY it would be to move the impedance up to the front and add a 4-pin XLR out. You have done it right

I've spent last few hours listening to the CC. it's been a couple of months since I had them for an evening before CanJam and it's really nice to get to get to know theme gain with a fresh perspective and the distance of time. Have only been listening so far with the Protein pads (which...

I usually got mine within a week or so in NYC. been a year or two so since last cable order so not current Matt is usually pretty responsive

iFi hip-dac 3 - at $200, fantastic performance to value off my iPhone, driving both IEMs and headphones while sounding great CFA Fathom - at $1,050, one of my most enjoyable recent purchases. Didn’t know the price when I demo-ed and may have bought them for double that. Just pure fun. Modhouse...

A bit of a different vibe, but I love this album of his:

+1 on Forza recommendations above for good value to price. For 10ft you may want to try their Claire Hybrid which is thinner (may be more comfortable for such a long run) and affordable. Have couple of those and like them.

That’s one rectifier I definitely want to try based off your feedback.. The Aegis DIY thread has tons of tube rolling impressions and recommendations. Yet another tube roll I’m adding to try in the future with the Aegis. Thanks 🙏 Please report.. 🙂

Different tube You need the 5814 (can have an extra letter or two number code)
