FS: ZMF Aeolus stabilized maple

Price drop - $800 for Canadians, $900 CAD for American friends.

I am selling my beloved Aeolus (named "Mercury") because I can't justify owning more than two high-end headphones at once. I bought these new from second set of stabilized headphones that ZMF offered a few years ago, A few details:

These have the older style magnesium chassis which are more prone to paint chipping. These had a couple minor paint chips and I've touched these up with a paint pen that ZMF provided. They are not as noticeable any more, but you can still see the imperfections where they were touched up. I've included some before and after pictures.

There is also a small black mark on one of the cups - cause unknown. I tried cleaning this with a soft damp cloth and it didn't come off; maybe some a little stronger would remove it. It is only on the surface - no scratches or dings detected. Photo attached.

This is the older style strap - no crescent strap or BBB.

I am including the stock universe lambskin pads, BE2 pads, hybrid perforated pads, and full suede perforated pads. The hybrid and suede pads left stains on the plastic bags I kept them in; they still feel normal to me though. The BE2, hybrid, and suede pads have very little use since I liked the stock and Auteur pads (not included) better.

Cables include the stock ZMF cable in 1/4 (approx 5.5' long) and the OFC cable in XLR (approx 10' feet long) If you prefer the stock in XLR and OFC in 1/4", I can do that but both cables would be 5.5' long in that case. I am including a leather ZMF cable bag as well.

Also included is a pair of the radial titan mesh, never installed.

Finally, the headphones came in the wooden display box. If you would prefer the hard Seahorse case, I can provide that from my other ZMFs instead. The Seahorse case would be much better if you plan on transporting these.

I would prefer to keep these in the SBAF community if possible, and especially to the Canadian crowd to give someone else a chance to enjoy these without getting nailed by exchange and taxes. I am asking $1,100 CAD shipped, to Canadian friends only for now.
