That red Caldera (Litchi) was awfully tempting, because it would've gone great with my blue Caldera. Unfortunately I can't quite justify dropping 5k for another pair w/ the case + salire so soon after the last stabilized drop. Back to waiting for ZMF November I guess. Here's to hoping there'll...

Yeah, I completely understand the reasoning there. FWIW while I do agree the steeper price might be offputting, I'd personally much rather get the match (or at least some closer color synergy) between the two pieces, even if the price is bumped up.

Those Salires look absolutely amazing, even before taking the cables into consideration. If I had to nitpick though, I do wish the base of the Salire would match with the upper part. The contrast is a bit jarring on some of them.

Perfectly possible to buy them online, that's where 99% of them are sold (to my understanding). You just need to be ready right as they drop with credit card in hand to check out, since a bunch of them will be gone within 5-10 minutes.

I'm a recent new AC owner, and I've also found that it's a great pairing. I've become so enamored with mine that I would even wager to say that if I were to only keep 2 headphones from my entire collection, it would be my AC and Caldera. I do think the concept of "no need for another" really...

Yep, I know that feeling :joy:

Absolutely amazing - I particularly like the color on those AOs.

+1 on the Pro cable. It's amazing value for the price, and nothing quite beats the feel of a braided cable. I'm also a huge fan of Hart Audio, especially considering the color & termination options they offer.

Yeah that's another thing that I was surprised to notice, how light they are. I do need to get around to trying the suedes some time. I honestly was not a fan of them on other ZMFs so far, but we'll see.

My Atrium Closed just arrived! These are the Baccate from the most recent resin drop. I had to double check that I wasn't listening to an open-back for a second. I've never fallen in love with a pair of headphones this quickly before. Visually, these really come alive in natural light; They're...

I see you've already made your decision, but decided that I might as well chime in, in case someone stumbles upon this in the future. I'm a recent new owner of this exact pairing, actually. Seeing as this is my first foray into tubes, I don't have any real comparisons, but I have definitely...

In my experience, the stabilized sets don't receive any updates since it's only the QA process left in between purchase and shipping.

Has anyone had their Stabilized Atrium Opens ship yet? Just curious, since it seems that the ZMF team is going through these by headphone model. My Atrium Closed from this stabilized set just shipped, and I'm really excited to give them a listen - Especially since I just started playing around...

Please note that this does not come with the 1/4" plug adapter. Used these maybe once or twice, they are in Excellent/Like-new condition. I am the first owner, kept in a smoke-free home. Asking $75 USD G&S to CONUS only, shipping & fees included.

The HA-3A & Bifrost finally arrived! Listening to it on my Calderas, and I honestly can't tell if I'm tearing up because of the hole in my wallet, or at how amazing it sounds. I've never been great at describing sound but generally speaking, the soundstage and separation feels like it just...

Yeah, I ended up opting for the Bifrost 2/64 with the HA-3A, since the Yggy is a bit out of my price range as of now. Looking forward to hearing it.

Welcome to the blue Caldera gang!! Good luck trying to get them off your head, easily the most addicting cans in my collection.

No longer interested in selling for now.

Don't worry, the fear of dropping and breaking $3000 will give you the willpower you need to carry it up those stairs.

Thanks for the replies, all. Yeah, the HA-3A is what I’m trending towards right now. Any recommendations on tubes? I don’t have all that much experience with tube rolling. In the Schiit realm of things, any thoughts on the Bifrost?

So I’ve been eyeing an amp upgrade after picking up an AO in the most recent resin drop a few weeks back. I’m currently between the Homage, HA-2A, or HA-3A. Does anyone here have any experience running a Caldera/AC/AO through any of these? Specifically, which would be the best amp to complement...

I've tried a pair from a friend and they were surprisingly great! I do agree that the coloring decisions are not my favorite though.

ZMF & Schiit collaboration when :eyes:

Radiohead - In Rainbows This album is always an absolute treat to sit down and enjoy from start to end. Weird Fishes is a top contender for one of my favorite Radiohead songs of all time.

Relink is great! Got plenty of hours out of the game myself. I did find the endgame grind for sigils to get a bit tiring though. I feel like more boss variety would’ve helped a lot too.
