Great video, @zach915m and team!

It was both interesting and inspiring to hear the design background for both the cup shape and drivers (I knew more about the Fostex modding than the Ori, cool context!).

Can’t wait to see great reviews roll in.

Can't wait!

Any measurements on power output?

On average it's a 2W amplifier. The power output will be a little higher or lower than that depending on the impedance selection and load.

I'm steps ahead but can't wait for a Caldera Closed Stabilized

Beautiful day for photos!

@BooUrns crafted some new looks of the Grand Palladium cable for the Caldera Closed release. They're available now on the site but will also be available bundled at release.

Are CC measurements already out or should we expect that before they go on sale in May?

I have some measurements taken but want to re-do some of them because one set does not match what I hear in my ears (which is more important anyway). I just got off a call with Zach where I learnt about a 3rd set of pads he had sent me too, so I'll measure everything this week and share here. There's no restrictions in place on what to share when, kinda refreshing compared to the norm I deal with in the PC space.

These cables are beautiful! Bevin is a real artist...

I'll be posting a video and then @vsg28 eill have some two, so at least two sets.

I'll make sure to compare to caldera open, atrium closed and such.

I know there’s inherent differences in just open vs. closed, but for someone who has owned/listened to some of the dynamic ZMF's (atrium, VC, Aeolus), which version of the Caldera (open vs. closed) do you think is the best starting place to try out the ZMF planar sound?

By the way, there has been one set of CC measurements available for ~2 weeks already. You can find them from Squiglink with the headphone model search function, but as they aren't mine, I won't post them here.

Would be nice to measure and review Caldera Closed as well, but without a local dealer it unfortunately isn't possible nowadays without buying one.

I find it very sexy, what do you think?

Great pic! I love the CC cup shape. I was surprised to read that not everyone shares my sentiment. Well, great designs are often divisive, I guess.

My preference goes to the the dark wood
