Congrats @Lothar_Wolf. I would have sworn it was spalted maple, such as:
The Bokeh is a spalted maple resin, the CC is b&w ebony.
Actually I was lucky to get such a nice cut of the ebony, because I saw a lot of relatively mäh looking cuts out there (in my eyes).
The Bokeh was a surprise, because I asked to get something similar to this:
and I received this:
It was absolut Zach‘s Choice, but it looks pretty good, so I kept it.
Now I’m just waiting for a AC surprise model, so let‘s see what arrives

Cool, you’re on Zach’s “dealer’s choice” list? Are you aiming to get one of each model? 
There aren’t many models left for you, you need to add VC, Eikon, Bokeh Open, what else? Did you get an Auteur yet?
I haven’t seen Aeolus/Atticus either, but I might skip one or both. Fighting words to many though. What am I missing?
I still want Auteur, Bokeh Open, and Caldera! 
Edit: I should have looked at the ZMF thread first! Nice collection, beautiful

Well…
On November 8th, 2 Atrium Closed models will find their way to the local dealer in Germany.
One will be a stabilized model, the other a resin flake.
I will then have first choice in selecting the model I like.
Further on we’ll see.
In the distant future, a VC may also be an option.……….
maybe.
Let’s see if @zach915m offers me a custom order with a “volume discount” on the VC then 
The Bokeh Closed is a real surprise for me because
1.) it is very well made, especially the headband area.
2.) It sounds extremely balanced and therefore very pleasant and relaxed without missing the slightest thing.
(reminds me a bit on the HD650, just a step up in every category)
In my ears, the Bokeh is Zach’s best all-rounder.
The Caldera Closed is absolutely amazing, I have only heard such well-tuned, precise, detailed-sounding and fast headphones 3-4 times at most, but these were much more expensive and open-back models.
And in my 
the CC is the slightly „easier to listen“ Headphone compare to the Caldera open.

Hi praise indeed, I’ve read several people say that with both models. I may need to reconsider my preference for open backs, especially given how much I enjoy my Eikon!

My Adeze XC got a new home a few weeks back and I choose to take a chance with a small brand and settled on a pair of SJY Audio Horizon closed.
Now I´ve spent a few days listening to it and have a few impressions.
First up, its not that hard to drive, I´m at 50-70 (of 100) on the medium power level on my Burson Soloist. OK, low powered amp will struggle and likely not give full dynamics but that is not a problem with the Burson.
To me its really very well tuned and follow the Harman curve pretty well. I believe that most users will never feel the need to eq it but being the nit picking that I am I did reduce the bass a bit between 200 to 70 Hz.
Resolution is very good, dynamics is clearly better than my Adeze XC, clamping force is Iow and comfort is just fine for a whole day of listening.
I like them a lot.

It’s actually FU-high-dollar audiophile amp-amp!
With Oratory1990 settings, I hear great things out of HD600 and Stax SR009. This is with stock tubes and stock caps! I just ordered another one

RCA 829B (“FM30”) tube to tube roll in place of FU-19 tube. So far working and seems like a great substitute!
