Wow, that collab with Crinnacle does take up alot of time.

Coming from the "other site", too bad I didn't know about this sooner. That said, I wish you success so there will be future opportunities to meet up with the So Cal locals.

Scenario: It's after an audio gathering and ppl go to dinner. You sit across from Jason at the table. What's the conversation? (Guaranteed it's happened to a few of you.)

Lol, did you guys forget where you are.

It's on the ZMF website. https://shop.zmfheadphones.com/collections/amps-dacs/products/homage Edit: and there's a video:

I was able to listen to it on different amps myself. Looking forward to the finished product. Wish I had time to listen to them on the amps below though before we finished the meet.

I like Audiophile Ninja. Have a cable on a separate set of headphones. However the SMC connectors are trash. I have the original HE-560 and have connector issues that happens at times. I enjoy when they work, but not sure what to do when the connectors finally die.

NItsch has a certain %age of amps for warranty issues that he kept off market. It's standard operating procedure.

Will have them for a week. Then will move them to someone else.

Nice 'do brah.

Is there supposed to be a light that tells you that it's on, because I don't see one.

Yeah, picked mine up yesterday too. Good times ahead.

I don't know since someone else was able to order for me. I'd like to personally thank @CEE TEE for allowing this to happen.

Doug said elsewhere "A more powerful amp with a similar-ish topology [to the 3F] is something that has been built on breadboard, but moving from experiment to manufacturing is a huge step. It is not something that is specifically in the works as of right now."

I would like to thank @Rosson Audio and crew for being gracious hosts for the meet, Head Space So-Cal. Alex wants to genuinely have these types of meets that aren't necessarily like a trade show vibe, and more a chill community feel. No overbearing vendor prescence. He was also excited by the...

Considering Zach is ramping up for the Caldera campaign, it's understandable. I'm sure others coming may have a ZMF or two. Nice list. Should complement what I've heard others maybe bringing.

Yeah, I enjoyed the Caldera -> Wells Audio Milo in the ZMF Can Jam room too. Too bad I didn't know about the impedance switch on the Feliks Audio Envy and would have enjoyed it on there too. No matter, Doing the home bit with the Atrium vs Caldera at some point. Always good to do them on gear...

Out of curiosity, which amp is that?

Thanks guys for clearing that up. Reading other reviews regarding the two made me look like the true odd guy out.

This was a mix of vendors and bring your own setups from earlier in the year. I sadly didn't go but heard it turned out well. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701900/page-6175#post-16951998

If you were talking about the Feliks Audio Envy, then I disagree. The Caldera was a right mess to me on that, while the Atrium sounded as well as expected. The Caldera sounded much as your detail on the solid state Wells Milo that was next to it. Am I perpetuating the "planars on most tube amps...

Well, I know who I'll be hanging out with.

Considering Zach said that these would drop in November, I'd say the only reason you're hearing about these now is for CanJam. That said, I'd expect the usual reviewer suspects to get them after CanJam is cleared. Personally after hearing both the Atrium and Auteur Classic, I don't expect the...
