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...

Well it's time! The Caldera Closed and Aegis amplifier are about to (or already have been) be released at 8:30AM CST // 1:30PM UTC Purchase Page: https://shop.zmfheadphones.com/collections/stock-headphones Some basic info on Caldera Closed that might be good to know for the release: 1...

OK - Pad Measurements are up as well, this one shows some impulse response stuff and talk about how pad material affects transients:

Yep now we have Evie and Tobi - they more or less are the same dog, Mountain Cur with some Mutt thrown in.

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...

Just added to the video: Music List (in order): Kaleo: Broken Bones James Mathus and his Knockdown Society: Take a Ride with me Otis Taylor: Resurrection Blues Cyril Lance: Same Thing

Ha that Brown Malee is beautiful but it can be heavy! Especially with Gold/Steel grille's.

Should have them ready for release late this month early next...too much of too much right now!

I'm not sure exactly how to do this, I'll check with a moderator if they can do it in the proper way.

The release discount will last for the first 50 Units US voltage and 25 units international voltage however long that lasts. Then later - if you have a headphone on order from us you'll be able to bundle the amp at the $200 off price. Unfortunately we aren't going to be able to do non-order...

Yep!!! After lots of testing - I went with the Tube Amp Doctor KT-88's, Tube Amp Doctor 5u4G, and 6N9S (Reflektor Bought from Ukraine) which I found to be a really really nice roll that doesn't break the bank. You'll be able to add this on for $200 USD at checkout. I'm able to pass some...

Yeah it was just connected to the RCA outs!

Hmm - I need to dust off my MassDrop EC Mini amp, I've always loved that thing, it's perfect desk sized. Anyways got me thinking! I think the driver tubes seem to change the sound quite a bit followed closely by the input and rectifier. In three stage tube amps like this all the tubes seem to...
