Learning what you like and the right sound signature for YOU is a key part of the journey. It’s awesome that you have that dialed in and have the amp coming to match! Congrats on the WA33- I can only imagine how good that will sound, how fun!- AudioDuck

ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.
Listening to The Mountain Goats tonight with my Woo WA2 OTL amp and the VCs. Wow, this headphone is spectacular with acoustic instruments and folk/singer-songwriter-type music (and lots of other genres too!). It’s a lot like going to a small, well-acoustically-treated club and relaxing in...- AudioDuck

Indeed, great point. My Verité Closeds are equipped with a Co-Pilot pad for a reason, but with that they are slightly heavy (they are probably well over 500 grams), but very comfortable.- AudioDuck

Speaking from personal experience, John Massaria is an avid audiophile, music lover, and all-around nice guy. I have no doubt that his headphones are excellent, great value, and that his service is top notch. I may get one of his models in the future- the primary reason I have not is that my...- AudioDuck

Yeah, every one of my five Norne cables has exceptional ergonomics and they are all non-microphonic.- AudioDuck

African Blackwood is an exceptionally hard, dense wood often used for musical instruments (oboes are a good example). I own a Verité Closed in African Blackwood and the wood “speeds up” the sound of the headphone due to the hardness/density of the wood cups, making the dynamic driver more...- AudioDuck

Agreed, though my heart lusts for a burly CC. Or a Cocobolo CC. ❤️- AudioDuck

I would become a regular at that supermarket. Which street is it on again? 😂- AudioDuck

Concur. I might have to go that direction with my next Norne cable, which will be the tether for my Caldera Closed. 😁🥳- AudioDuck

Other than my daily-driver Shure 1540s that take all the abuse I throw at them and never complain, I keep my high-end gear FAR, FAR away from food. I wouldn’t trust myself to avoid getting chocolate sauce, peanut butter, or some other heinous substance on my prized Norne cables or ZMFs. 😂😝🙄...- AudioDuck

Completely agree. Using a very thick, high-quality UPOCC copper cable with my VC has been an excellent match. I found my fusion silver/copper cables to be a bit TOO detail-focused and not ideal compared to the all-copper option.- AudioDuck
