Verum 1 (perforated pads) and Corda Classic are bonkers good. Nicely detailed, engaging, zero annoyances - well, maybe Verum's weight. Jun 18, 2020

        Mk2 much lighter (~465grams). In future i'll sell separately new headbands.

        It's one of the only planar magnetic headphones I actually like (plus the price is great in the land of kilobuck crap).

      Corda Classic sounds like a more refined, less shouty, less bassy Jotunheim. I'm digging this.

        Had the QuickStep back in the day and it remains one of my favorite two or three portable amps (along with the Leckerton). Sneaky powerful and nicely refined, dynamic sound.

        LOL, got me there. I plan to, but might have mentioned the ZDTJ is a friend's on extended loan so I'd feel like an unconsented assfuck if I bought more stuff before I sorted it out.

        (Never mind my ethical obligation to remedy the effects of what seems to be an electrical short is questionable at best— it's what I'd want others to do if I loaned stuff I guess.)

        @Zampotech Swapped the tubes, the crackle remains on the same channel. Should I just bring the amp to the local repair shop?

        Can you give large photos of the tube socket? I want to understand what is the source of the crackling.

        Another point. Are there any sounds in the headphones when the amplifier is turned off?

        @Zampotech Oops, I've just sent the amp to the repair shop. :'( He did a quick check and there seemed to not be any trouble with the socket. He still needs a few days to thoroughly check everything since his repair queue is long.

        There's no crackling sound or anything of the sort when the amp is off.

        Tested with FDX1 and Andromeda. Tried fudging around with ZX507's app process, couldn't force stop or disable Sound Enhancement process a la ZX2. Worth a try.

        @Ksaurav402 Adding to the equation, minus the USB DAC and bluetooth receiver functions (not sure about the latter).
        That's just me though. Other people might find an appreciable difference with it compared to ZX300, just not for me and my ringing ears. :(

        It's been 4 hours... haven't seen him listen to music this long before and he has tried Andromeda, Orion, and Verum 1 (albeit with channel imbalance issue that comes and goes).

        "You must think I hate money," said he "Fuck you for bringing this into my life." I think he likes it.
