I hope you're ready to workout your ears.

(not sure why it double posted...)

Good for A/B testing. Doesn't seem like you can do much in depth otherwise

What happened? Elnrik took the muthaship down? (joking)

I think someone used the server as a coaster, been there broke that.

Did someone strap the server to a seat-less chair and do some Dutch scratching - Casino Royale style?

Like it's about the gear, and not the social validation from the content stream.

Welcome to the Zmf triple fuck everything else club. Interested in your pad rolling adventures. Btw, my blackwood Auteurs drink ur milkshake.

@zerodeefex brings things down to earth with a thud.

Auteur Lamb 4 lyfe

Could it be driver burn in?

Maybe it's my brain that was burnt.. lol.

Ironic that the paired amplifier uses LM49600 op-amp based pre-made headphone amplifier chips. Probably sounds flat/lifeless.

We had the Sonoma back when Bluebird Music was their distributor. The clamp on it was unreal and super tight and we had trouble with folks and the closed system approach.

New strap headband looks better. High price tag though.

am first in line for closed Verite.

Thanks for the update

How are they different than the Auteur suede?

Surprisingly similar (expected more differences). ES just a bit warmer & darker.

Zach needs to make an African Bocote Burl Auteur just so I can say you love ABBA. =)

Really. I want some firsthand auditions of Bocote and Cocobolo auteur!

... and verite if possible.

Shame! Shame! Shame! <Ding>

Vtory, I thought you were going with the Verite??

@Vent : True. Just not exclusively so. haha
Well, I am desperately waiting for my verite (already ordered).

hey @zach915m what's the problem here? do you somehow fill orders for non-SBAF folks also?? :)

If it's through Zach, it can't be this quick -- physically. My verite (in the lumber form?) is still waiting for being sanded.

Yes yes we're all commiserationg you for the hardships you will go through :P

I love the “Executed” tag. Makes me chuckle every time I see it...

...not that I want one though!

ZD knows when it’s time to take a break. 3F arrives today, might need a weekend ban next!

@jexby : warning - 3F may cause you to forget about everything else for awhile and simply enjoy the music. I suggest listening to Christian McBride & Sting "Consider Me Gone"

For the dac from china?

Nope. In this country. Anyway issue resolved now. lol

Yup!

Cool. Will pm you later!

Darn! I'm going to move in at the end of the month, so I'll just miss it!

Just started listening to them as well!
