June 5, 200818 yr comment_127394 Sorry about your wallet, but not in the case of the ZD which is an excellent choice. I am jealous. Oh and welcome! Report
June 5, 200818 yr Author comment_127439 I had the great fortune to send in a downpayment for the Zana Deux on my birthday, June 1st and Craig had a cancellation so I'm to get one of the next batch. You made an excellent choice. Be thankful your first post here was "I'm waiting on a Zana!" rather than along the lines of "I ordered a B52/apache/raptor 30 minutes ago and Ray just showed up at my door with amp and a pizza and now he's mowing my lawn with his shirt off should I post pics". From what I remember of the older Headroom Max - I've owned a '97 and heard whats was either a 2001 or 2004 - they weren't bad but the Zana is way better. Could be worthwhile auditioning more headphones, even cans you've dismissed before, to see how you like 'em on the Zana - that amp might transform some of them for you. It loves nice sources, especially vinyl. It's also fabulous into vintage tube power amps! Report

It loves nice sources, especially vinyl. I can't speak for vinyl, but I know I didn't realize how good the Zana was until I started feeding it with the Opus 21 CDP. Congrats on your order - you will be getting a wonderful amp. Report

June 13, 200818 yr comment_129385 That dress plate looks familiar. Not sure how many others beside me got one on earlier runs but I really like it's look. Report
June 13, 200818 yr comment_129412 The plate caps are different too, black covered rather than the traditional red covering. Looks much better with the black covering. Report
June 13, 200818 yr comment_129642 SWEET... I e-mailed Craig about this and got it added to my order. Looks really nice. Can't wait to get it. Jeff Report
June 26, 200818 yr comment_133926 The ZD dress kit consisting of a shiny faceplate, 5 screws (one extra), and two chicken knobs arrived today. Thanks to Craig and to jeffrey for telling me about it. Report

June 26, 200818 yr comment_133966 They have red screws? They have colored screws? Hmmm... Actually not sure about that. I have seen at my local parts store your typical silver/steel, black, and brass/gold, that's about it. Not saying they don't exist, I am sure you can get orange or teal or magenta or whatever your heart desires. Report

June 26, 200818 yr comment_134013 So has the Zan surplanted the single power in your affections? You seem to say that the SP's have a house sound that you would not describe as neutral or life like? I feel this to be tru but have been having a converstaion with someone else at the other place who insists this is wrong. I just cant saquare his opinon with what ive heard myself! I don't think Singlepower really has a house sound like Ray or Rudistor. I think his amps cover at least some sort of range of sound. Maybe not a complete range or even a wide range... but I don't feel his amps are one trick ponies. Moreover he can tune/produce a sound signature that you request. Report

I could produce any sound signtaure you wanted me to as well, if you gave me $20k and 2 years. Report
