    I been so debating with regards to which ZMF Headphone I want to try out first. I really want to purchase an Eikon due to it is a closed headphone, but after reading the Auteur here and on ZMF, I might prefer the Auteur. Plus owning a Clear might make this interesting with my setup (no tubes on my end). After thinking about this hard, I would like to be part of this loaner tour. No worries if I am not selected. - Jacksonville, FL

    having heard Clear multiple times on my chain, Auteur surpasses it in a multitude of ways.
    just sayin.

    Cool Cool, I only ask as I owned the Teaks for a bit and as such I'll not request a spot in the tour. Very cool of you to offer yours up though.

    Zach makes a solid headphone, and with the supplied pelican case, I'm not so worried.

    That said, the only thing I have a minor concern about is swapping pads. It's not to say that it's difficult, but unless you've had prior experience with one of the ZMF dynamics, everyone should know it takes a bit of technique to be done right without stressing the sleeves to excess.

    No pad swapping unless you specifically ask @captkirk.

    Suggestion @captkirk - label the pads somehow. So confusing trying to figure out which is which if you don't know what you're looking for.

    (Eikon pads are better. :p)

    Not to be too obvious, but do let us know which ones they ship with...and thank you again. (I'm with Elnrik FWIW, my quick demo & I'm pretty sure the Eikon pads are for me)

    I know pad rolling is super popular with Zach's stuff, but maybe dealer's choice on this one?

    BTW, I also would be more than willing to throw in $10 or $20 toward getting new pads for the Capt. If everyone did he could rest easy. Just a thought.
