What's in the box!

Had some stabilized Atriums show up last week, one from ZMFNovember and one from a head-fi member, I think they’re both staying though:




@zach915m Bevin and the team make some both sonically and aesthetically pleasing (possibly addicting) stuff!

Just got a new pup ourselves.

Since border collies are considered one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs I named him Lazlo after the character in the movie Real Genius who was proported to be the smartest guy in the world.

From whence did you get a “demo” unit? What’s the story, you mean you purchased one that was used as a demo unit? Inquiring minds want to know…

Donald has a demo unit that he loans out for audition.
If you scroll up this thread, you’ll see I had it early fall and Andris had about a year before he got his Stellaris.
It was in poor shape when I got it, so after listening to it for a month, I sent it back to Donald for a rehab. I think Karan is the first person to get it since.

He just turned 11 weeks.
We all love him here, but he’s a handful as only a puppy can be.

Wow, that’s very cool of him!

I’m always reluctant to go into detail about my impressions. I’ve had tinnitus since a was a kid, so my hearing has slowly deteriorated over the years. One of the reasons I’m a headphone guy these days is that I can just hear the music better wearing cans.
That being said, very clean, nice detail without sacrificing being musical. The most spacial headphones I’ve owned. A very ZMF take on planars. They sound fantastic. I love my Utopias, but found I missed the Final Audio D-8000s. Not anymore.
I’ll try to post more thoughts after I’ve had them for a few weeks.

Well it’s hard to sell 4000-11000 amps if you can’t hear them ahead of time.

True fact, no doubt. Yet he has like a year long wait list?

In any case, out of my league! :smile:

What @jthvac said. I can confirm that it has been rehabbed and is in tip top shape.

I feel lucky that mine was “only” a 10 month wait. I think he got a flood of orders in a relatively short period of time which sent the wait time soaring.

I didn’t know you had the D-8000. :wink:

I had the pro version

Ok. Cool. I was close to pulling the trigger on them, but having the LCD XC and HD 800 I needed to go with the original for that freaking bass slam. Best headphones I have for that.
