    ZMF and Cayin at CANJAM Chicago 2023

    The Cayin delivers 7 watts into 32 Ohm balanced at low current setting. Will drive anything on the market and drive it properly.

    Pure coincidence I assure you...or is it...?? :devilish:

    Why no drums..? The most primal of all instruments and it actually requires physical skill to play them properly, unlike the ubiquitous guitars and keyboards. Play drums...!! 🤘 Oh and I seldom don't feel like listening to some sort of music if at home at my desk, which is most of the time...

    ZMF Pads for Focal Clear + Amazon Arya Pads

    Two darn good pairs of headphones you have there! (y) Glad that the new pads are working for you. Personally I have never had a positive experience with aftermarket pads - my OCD might have had something to do with this though... So I tend to try stick to headphones for which replacement pads...

    Wristwatch,any love?

    Almost impossible to take a decent photo of this watch due to its curved crystal without anti-reflective coating (for authenticity they say). All I know is it's a great Swiss Automatic for very reasonable money and I love it. Here's a MUCH better pic:

    Wristwatch,any love?

    Size the bracelet properly (don't let an unskilled butcher loose on it please) and wear it a while. It's not a big watch although it wears larger due to its very thin bezel. You may well come to enjoy it. If not, I love older Chronoswiss models...:devilish:

    Wristwatch,any love?

    Beautiful watches both! But I'm confused...the Kairos is already on a steel bracelet? And that bracelet is unique to the watch - the end pieces are attached to the case itself if memory serves. Therefore replacing will be next to impossible and why would you? That bracelet is stunning! "Beads...

    Additional recommendations for closed-back over-ear headphones under R3k

    One certainly doesn't, very high quality reproduction for beer money is easy to obtain these days thanks to technology and economies of scale. One of the reasons I went for a headphone based system was value for money. I like to think I reached a very high level of quality for significantly less...

    Audiosaurus is taking pre-orders at R8595.00. Sorry, I didn't clarify where I got the price in my OP.

    Audeze Sa

    There's a new model currently on pre-order from Audeze - the MM-100 which seems to be a lot of headphone for reasonable wedge. RRP is $399 / R8595

    Wristwatch,any love?

    I really like the Squale product - very good quality all round, decent Swiss movements and they have a brand identity. Divers watches have been done to death but Squale does it right. I might mention that if the website prices are accurate, you can't land a Squale for less money.

    ZMF and Cayin at CANJAM Chicago 2023

    Canjam Chicago took place this past week and there was a ton of lovely gear to see. Amongst these the ZMF room showing off what must certainly be the most gorgeous headphones in existence. One day... :) Interesting to note is that Zach has chosen to use Cayin amplification and sources to best...

    Awesome members on this forum!

    I cannot believe it's been 2 years already...😔 G passed away about a month after my brother, same cause of death. A very dark time indeed.

    Mmmm...Anneke! Wonderful vocalist, she's added class in collabs from Devin Townsend to Amorphis. Gorgeous, mellifluous voice.

    Tell Roelf where you got the referral - perhaps he might offer a small discount for forum members? It never hurts to ask... ☺️ NB: I have no commercial or other interest in Lug To Lug whatsoever. I do like to support local small business though.

    Wristwatch,any love?

    The First Pitzmann (nice name for a Korean watch...) is indeed lovely and offers a very strong value proposition. By the time it's landed (assuming no duties) it will set you back R20,700.00 at today's rate of exchange. My issue is that I can buy a number of very decent similar Swiss watches...
