@cats4cans I just checked my CSP3 order on their Build Sheet. My order went in Apr 2022 and they are working through QC'ing the Sep-Nov 2021 orders. So yeah, still looking like a two-year wait time. It's OK with me as I knew going in it would take some time.

I may actually be a few weeks ahead of you on the list, but I had originally ordered an SE84UFO. I’m still very much a speaker guy, but have slowly been being seduced by headphones. I’ve got a few more months to waffle. I’ve been looking at the Icon HP8 as a high Z option as well. I think the collab amp is going to be out of my reach for a while yet, but it would be great to read a comparison while I still have time to make a switch. I’m sure either one would open up the Aeolus to a different realm and eventually I’ll need an Atrium and probably a VO as well. I just need to keep perspective. I doubt many people put together their entire stable of amps and collection of headphones in a short time. It’s a long game. It’s supposed to take years to learn and refine what you like.

yes, completely agree with taking your time. we all end up continuing to upgrade sooner or later

yes, also can confirm the Decware/FMZ OTL amp is spectacular with the AO (and AC.. and VO..)

if anyone has a CSP3 in NYC area will be happy to compare it to my ZMF OTL amp and share impressions on the sonic deltas

Looking forward to following this thread and learning from you all. I listened to this amp at CanJam NYC and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sonic Deltas or Delta Sonics--thought that could be a good name for a rock or blues band
So googled it, and oh well, already taken: https://deltasonics.net/videos

I received my ZMF OTL about a month ago and I'm very much enjoying it with the stock tubes that Zach included (I did add the Sylvania JAN 6922 Military NOS). My previous amps were the ampsandsound Kenzie Ovation v2 (for sale in classified) and a Bottlehead Crack with Speedball. I'm using with my ZMF Atrium Open and Eikon headphones. The ZMF OTL makes these headphones sound better than I've ever heard them.

As a bonus, I am also using the pre-outs to my speaker setup (NAD C 700 + Inspire by Dennis Had Kleen-Sweep -> Omega Super 3i monitors), which sounds amazing as well.

Very nice

yea, the stock tubes on this amp are fantastic. there are many tube rolling options here, but it's one of those rare amps that come with excellent sounding tubes out of the gate!!!

Will there be a 240V version for this amp?

Looking at the web it says there's only a 120V version

Oh yes - we only made 3 of them for round 1, but for round two were making 7 of them, I don't have an exact timeline yet but will update as soon as I find out from decware.

Any idea of the lead time for the 240V variant? There's a bit of interest where I am located at the moment (Indonesia)

Let me ping Steve - I'm anxious to know the lead time as well!

 

[cedboe]

Looking for a 230V version as well, hope Zach will get a lead time soon
