Aegis' will either start to ship late next week or early the week after - around the 20th-23rd.

I'd recommend trying the lighter mesh before taking it off. If you buy the CC you'll get the stock mesh by default and can either add the tuning kit for $150 with all teh pads and mesh or just the lighter mesh with the secondary pads for $20.

Along with the Caldera Closed the @L0rdGwyn collab amp "AEGIS" will be (has been) released at the same time (8:30am CST May 10th). 50 120V units and 25 230V units will be available at the release price of $200 off. Purchase Page...

I'm finishing up my pad comparison videos but - part of that video is showing the slightly different transient response between the pad materials, and I think that's where we hear a lot of differences too, is in the primary frontal impulse/transient, vs overall air moved that equates to...

The Caldera Thick pads are the same thickness across all variants of the Caldera Thick pads and at about 30mm thick are the deepest I like to go with them. So anyways, there isn't a thicker option available and if looking for depth the Caldera Thick Lamb, top perf only is the way to go and...

I reduced the amount of perforations in the suede to make it bassier as other version seemed to dry. It'll work as an alternative to the suede pad on Atrium Closed too as a bassier version of suede.

Measurements are up - https://www.zmfheadphones.com/measurements Of note - these are mostly done with the 5128 Coupler - you can see the large difference, especially in the treble between this and the 711 coupled AECM unit. Then here's the difference in the three meshes, do note the graph is...
