Thanks for pointing them out! :+1:t4:

Stick on some Burial whilst you’re in a electronic music mood. Archangel is good.

Or some Morphology, the Traveller album.

Thanks! I’ll check them out.

I counted at least 4 ZMF stickers. :rofl:

I just ordered the perforated universe suede pads and perforated universe hybrid lambskin & suede pads. Anyone has any experience using these pads with Verite open?

What’s your favorite Verite open pads?

  • Verite pads
  • Universe pads
  • BE2 pads
  • Other

I have the Perf Universe Suede coming for VO. Takes a long time to get to Aus apparently.

At the moment I prefer Universe Leather over Verite Leather, purely because my ear touches the foam on the Verite pads.

Wow you probably have big ears like me :rofl: It touches mine too but that’s not the only reason. I prefer the big open sound stage with universe pad over the Verite pads. It’s very addicting. Some says the Verite pads has smaller sound stage but I wholeheartedly disagree. The difference is massive to me.

I’m hoping the suedes are “da bomb”. Getting my hopes well up.

I have time for 150 hrs of burn-in…I make time for it. Just finished this in past couple weeks w/new blackwood Aeolus. Always start w/a couple days of noise files (pink noise; gaussian noise), then on to increasingly bombastic/bassy/dynamic music files.

I have new toy syndrome just like everybody else. But I force myself to ignore it until burn-in is complete (though I do peek w/very brief listens just to check channel balance & basic function).

Delaying gratification isn’t fun, but I can do it (sometimes).

What is the wood on the VO w/black screen? It looks very striking…

Ziricote, it is a great looking wood!

Looking at all this stuff is just a reminder of how awesome it feels to get a new pair of ZMF headphones. It’s tempting to take the plunge again.

Ha, I was messing around this weekend trying to get better at taking pictures… I need to get a better setup for product photography lol this was just black foam boards a couple of small aperture lights and one LED “key” light… glad you like it, I edited it pretty hard to try and add life into it… the RAW images were not to my liking… plus I cropped in to give a better story… well I hope anyways it gives a better story lol

They really are for closed-back. I find I’m valuing that more and more these days, especially with all the video editing I do. I’m constantly using my Elegia, and while I like it a lot, I’m still on the lookout for a truly end game closed-back. I’d love to have the Stellia and VC side by side to compare at some point.

:astonished: You can definitely open a small both with those merchandise :laughing:

Awesome! As for the picture composition, have you try to arrange them by categories? Instead of random placement on the table, I think you have enough item counts of each category (headphones, cards, stickers, is that a round mouse pad?) to form lines of impressive collection of all things ZMF.
