| Version | Description | |---------|-------------| | Rationalist | Zalmoxis was a clever mortal who built a hidden underground chamber, disappeared for three years, then reappeared to convince the Getae he had risen from the dead. | | Mythological | Zalmoxis was a native Thracian divinity, a sky or earth god associated with thunder, the underworld, and immortality. | zalmos

Zalmos represents a philosophy that has largely disappeared from consumer electronics: that music reproduction is an art, not a specification war.

If you value soundstage depth, instrumental texture, and the ability to listen for six hours without fatigue, start hunting for a Zalmos. Just be prepared to pay a premium, learn to solder, and explain to your confused friends why you spent two months' rent on a dusty black box from 1982.
