First Look 26 ZMF Caldera Close: Probably the best and most open sounding close back.

Will you be doing a full review of this headphone? As for the 3:47 question about pad placement. They suggest aligning the pad seem at the bottom to the termination.

Maybe in the future

I see that you have a GSX mini, may i ask if Caldera close is a good match with GSX mini? Good synergy?

I own the Dan Clark E3 and waiting for the Caldera Closed What do you think? Will the Caldera Closed beat the E3?

[@ZPProductions]

To me it does. I prefer stealth over the E3. The difference is there vs the stealth but I’m not not sold to E3 from the technical and sound signature . So to me caldera close is way better

@@ZPProductions Did you own the E3 ? What about the soundstage between E3 and Caldera Closed ? Thank you

[@ZPProductions]

@@levinste2750 I don’t own the E3, only the stealth, but my local distro has one. So I did a rather extensive test vs my stealth. I find the E3 more exciting sounding but definitely not on the same level as caldera close. Sound stage wise I’m very sure that caldera close will be bigger since my memory of E3 doesn’t have anything of notable soundstage vs my stealth.
