ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
For what it's worth, I plugged my Caldera via 4.4 into a dongle that puts out 200mW at 32 ohms and believe it or not that was plenty.- thefitz

Audeze Vegan Pads.... Are Back?
Very cool! Please consider making a felt spacer ring, as Audeze includes them on pretty much all their legacy-style headphones. Their driver failure rate has gone to just about zero since they added them, on the LCD-4 most crucially. These measurements look like the LCD-4 could considerably...- thefitz

Audeze Vegan Pads.... Are Back?
Great! These pads fill in a few major Audeze weaknesses (low ear-gain, 4kHz dip). What "stock" are you comparing to? Original Vegans vs Dekoni?- thefitz

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
1. Ultra Perf has Perf inside the pad. It's Perf everywhere. Standard pads have no Perf on the inside. 2. It likely sounded crap 3. Dunno. What about Bokeh hybrid? Maybe they are different but the tungsten ones sounded crap as well?- thefitz

Looking to sell or trade my Focal Utopia for a ZMF headphone. My Utopia is the OG version but appears to have the 2020 cables. Also included is a Moon Audio Black Dragon cable. It's in solid condition but for one scuff. Stock pads are great, plus I have ZMF Suede pads and 2 sets of Dekoni...- thefitz

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
I am firmly on Team Mantle Mesh and Stock Pads. I still want to test the hybrid and pleather BOKEH pads, as well as both thin Caldera pads, but I really like what I hear. Yes, the mantle mesh dampens treble, but 1) nowhere near the extent of the thick pads, and 2) it actually raises the treble...- thefitz

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
Do the thick pad preferrers use the mantle mesh? I found the thick pads too withdrawn in the upper mids while proudly present in the treble, giving me LCD-4 vibes. The stock pads flattened things out for me considerably. But I have mesh installed.- thefitz

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
Any idea of the Bokeh pads sound good on Caldera? Funny side story - I went on a Caldera pad rolling spree on my former Susvara, and in the process, ended up with two pairs of Cowhide. I sold them all, acquired a Caldera, and now have no Cowhide pads. Eh, maybe it's not that funny.- thefitz

Mine wasn't under warranty. I had to pay to ship it to them on my own, and they charged me for shipping on the way back. I mean, it is what it is.- thefitz

ZMF Caldera - New Planar Magnetic from ZMF!
Not sure if this counts, but mine came armed with thick pads and I prefer the stock pads. I felt the thick pads were perhaps a little to crispy in the treble and a little too withdrawn in the upper mids, whereas the stock pads sounded more aligned in that area to my ears.- thefitz

The only time I've ever heard any noise or hiss is when I used very sensitive IEMs (lol). When you unplug your source, is it still hissing?- thefitz

Shure SRH1540 Review
Got these to replace my HD280 headband which had a fit that was starting to bug me (once the stock headpads wore off): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09299BMRX These are a lot shorter than the stock pads, but it covers the exact contact point with the headband and my head and nothing more. Width is...- thefitz

With this between the amp and sub: https://www.schiit.com/products/sys You have a one and done solution. If this is somehow more of a pain in the ass than two solutions, I will be shocked. However, as always, the choice is yours.- thefitz

Schiit Ragnarok Amplifier
The idea there is that the HD600 has a very famously rolled off bass, and anybody hardcore enough to do this kind of thing would have a subwoofer with an LPF on it. Set the LPF and subwoofer volume to taste.- thefitz
