- ZMF Pendant Headphone Tube Amplifier; A perfect match for ZMF Headphones?
Hey, friends, in this video, I will discuss the ZMF Pendant Headphone Tube Amplifier, review its features, build quality, specs, design, overall quality of sound, and how it compares briefly to the AmpsandSound Nautilus and Mogwai OG. I test the ZMF Pendant Headphone Tube Amplifier with several Digital analog converters such as the Matrix Element X, Matrix Element M, NAD C 658 Streamer, Topping D90 Digital Analog Converter, and Schiit Bifrost 2 DACS, as well as paired with several pairs of headphones such as the ZMF Verite Open, ZMF Aeolus, Meze Empyrean, Hifiman HE1000se, Hifiman HE6seV2, Rosson Audio Rad-0, Focal Clear MG, Focal Radiance, Focal Stellia to give my overall conclusions.

I can’t wait! Yes thank you.. love your content man!
Thank you @Mark Yoshihara appreciate you man!!
I like how the wood trim of the Pendant looks very similar to your ZMF headphone's wood. 🔥
Nice photography Marcello! looking forward for your premiere
Thank you @Mauricio appreciate you!!
Thanks for the great review.! I'm going to be ordering the Verite Open and the Pendant and this review was very helpful!
For someone into ZMF headphones Pendent is the ice on the cake IMO. Great video brother, stunning images.
Great job! Keep on making same top quality videos :)
Just rewatched your video in anticipation of the purchase of my Pendant. What a great review!! What are the tubes you are using in your Pendant?
Telefunken EL84 and Amprex 6201 I believe we’re the tubes I mentioned during the review @Greg
Another great review! Thanks for all the great content Marcello. Did I hear you have the HE 1000se? Should we expect a review soon? I just got a pair to contrast my VO and I'm curious about your amp synergy recommendations.
Hey @Rocky Fox thanks man! Yes I will have a review coming soon of the HE1000Se
Great review man, have any plan to review Verum 1??
I heard good things about it.
Anything is possible, it's not currently in my queue.

Just rewatched your excellent review of the Pendant! I have the Chord Hugo TT2 and the Susvara. Can I use the Pendant as a preamp and use the TT2 to power the Susvara and if so how are they connected? Would I use RCA from the Pendant to the 3 pin XLR on the TT2? Thank you for your time and help!
I wonder how fast ZMF ships these out. They might have their own stock. I ordered a Ampsandsound Kenzie two month ago and it's still in production due to the transformer shortage.
Thanks for this review, I was wondering if this amplifier can also be used in Europe, where the voltage outlet is 220v instead of 120v.
Reach out to ampsandsound!
That's a great looking amp, I like it.
Did you get the chance to pair the Auteur with it? Thinking of getting one for that.
Hey @Brian Pacheco , I didn’t but depending on the tubes it could be a good match. Maybe Ping Zach and ask.
what could you suggest will be a good sub $1200 amp+dac combo for Verite Open?
If you can stretch a bit more this might be a good option to try tvp.ag/0FKx4s0vrY I think the Burson Soloist 3X performance has a very good synergy with my Verite and Aeolus. Or you could look at separate Amps and Dacs as well.
@@MarcelloRostagni Both are going beyond my limit (Soloist 3X is ok but i will need a DAC also). What DAC then? I prefer separate units, due to replaceability.
Then you are probably looking at a Bifrost 2 for a good DAC and maybe an Asgard 3 or Jotunheim 2 and save up for a better amp or tube amp. I have this all in one unit that I love but again eventually you would want to upgrade the amp and you would need to use it balanced with the Verite until you can upgrade the amp or pick it up and and a Jotunheim 2 until you can upgrade to a high quality tube amp or the Soloist. tvp.ag/0FLzhc0vrY or if you want you could go with a cheaper DAC like a Modi 3+ and get the Burson Soloist until you can upgrade your DAC. tvp.ag/0FKxyS0vrY The Verite are high quality headphones that deserve a quality pairing.
@@MarcelloRostagni thanks for the detailed advice. Can I ask, if a A90+D70s(or D90) will be a good match (this was my original plan)?
The A90 would not be my first choice for the Verite Open. The D90 I enjoyed with the Verite. The A90 is a very good well measuring amplifier with plenty of power and some great features. The sound stage while sounding very accurate and precise doesn’t have as much depth as some other amps. It’s a good reference amp for under $500 if you are chasing reference neutrality. It does pair better with the D90 as well imo. For my personal preferences I would choose a bit warmer slightly holographic amp like a LYR3 tube hybrid in the $500 range with the Topping D90. In addition to some of the other links you can check apos.audio?sca_ref=206820.OA76cre1fP Apos possibly for the D90 and read about the new D90se.
is it M.R. Hifi Reviews or is it Mr. Hifi Reviews.
Which do you like better? 😄
