Yup. Two of them.

But not only for balanced 1/4mm I guess? High end and Low end?

I haven’t played with it much as I used the XLR balanced out or the right, but they are both stereo 6.3mm.

Per manual:

The right jack has its own dedicated amplifier for an in-phase stereo signal.

The left jack is connected to the 180° phase shifted signal.

I totally agree. I was planning to list my Aeolus as it lost out in my routine, but its nice to listen to on SS. I haven’t given time to the Auteur on this amp yet, but I have I feeling I might continue prefer that one on tubes.

How would you describe the Violectric sound? is it analytical or more laid back?

@Antpage2 maybe this helps you getting an idea, as I remember you know the compared amp in the video

Any pro tips on pads to order with the Aeolus?

Originally I was going to just get stock Aeolus but now I’ve decided to get uni suede perf as well. Any other worthwhile standouts?

I use Perf Suede on my Aeolus, but the stock Pads are good aswell.

I’ve enjoyed the stock aeolus pads and universe leather pads on a tube amp, and the universe suede more on SS amps. Those are the three I can vouch for sounding good on the aeolus. I also find the leather pads far more comfortable than the suede, personally. I did try the verite leather on them, but it was just too neutral then, wasn’t a fan.

Holy mutherloving fukballs I dig these. Just picked up set of these and a pair of Ori’s …having fun bouncing back and forth to planar and messing with pads. Betwix 3 x Cans a hybrid tube amp and pads I oughta have plenty of sound choice now. Had to tighten and lock-tight some of the hardware- got them used and one of the mounting screws fell into the cup within first 10 minutes of trying them out which scared me shitless… lock picking set aided in the recovery then watch all the ZMF videos for good measure and cleaned everything up and tightened down with lock-tight.

I second that (comment above about original pads) with some slight tubishness the stock pads are where I am going to live. ZMF pad guide is pretty spot on which I appreciate…realized this prior to exporing the case and finding their handy diagram.
