Are the suede pads perforated? That could make the Atticus sound very thin. Or a myriad of other oddities. Definitely send them in for a quick check up if desired and we will make sure we get them to spec. Atticus is a very warm headphones for sure.

Atticus certainly should not sound bright. Make sure there's all solid pads on it? Also feel free to contact our team - support@zmfheadphones.com If it's a used set, we do checkups for 50 usd and will tetune if needed or diagnose the headphone and fix for as little as possible.

I vow to out wild and crazy purple heart!

We definitely still need to explore LTD editions and other colorways - it will be fun to do that!

Yeah there's some variance for sure with the Limba, that set just has a LOT of spalting - very desirable IMHO!

Yeah if you pay for new drivers they are then warrentied. Just the rest of the headphone doesn't carry any aesthetic warranty.

We tried to come up with something to help identify caldera pads but it's confused everyone internally and externally. These are the same pads as the Caldera Open already has, just with top and side perf. Were going to pull the air name and just go by perforation style. So all Caldera pads...

Yep 230v shipping straight from cayin. I'll have an update tomorrow regarding that, or at least @BooUrns will.

We decided against burning thay area of the cup at all due to the negative reactions, so the production models will all be burnt just along the grain lines.

Here's the YouTube ad I made - they say the most important part is the first 5 seconds haha. What do you guys think more flames? I believe it accompanied by a funny zmf Tagline and link or logo.

Yeah that situation is far more complicated than just "impressions based on shows." Impressions from shows are great, and I welcome them absolutely. I do feel bad often about the modular system we created and I'm going to strive to make it easier defined in the coming year with info graphics...

I appreciate that he liked them, but I'm always a bit confused when reviewers of his magnitude feel the need to give impressions (clarification: impressions of finality) of our headphones when hearing them for a short time at a show when we are very much a modular tuning system (not that that...

Haha time is your friend! :L3000: I'll work on getting that Aegis over - we should be shipping later this week or early next. As a note - and I should repeat this in the Aegis thread, upgrade/alternate tubes may come in a separate box.

You try those deep pads yet?

I *think* that they are just tuned a bit differently as some areas of CC are more forward in the mids and some areas are more laid back, but this all depends on some slight factors like what volume one listens to and HRTF. The largest difference is definitely damping, as the closed headphones...

There's 22 120v units left and 20 230v units left at the release price. So 28 sold in 120v and 5 sold in 230v! Of note we have 1 x Kt8c driver tube sets left. Excited for all the new Aegis owners!

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.
