I've used my VO on top notch OTL's, SET's and solid state amps. Sounds fantastic on all of them. OTL's do give you a little more versatility with tube swapping, but you can also achieve very similar results with pad rolling.

Shameless plug of my VO pad review: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/zmf-verite.890270/post-16562143

I do not own the VO, I have the VC.
I 100% agree with you as i feel the same way about the VC... . OTL/SET/SS they all bring their own sound to the mix and present in a different way.
Every one of them sound great in my opinion. Choice is good, it all depends what you prefer really.

I hope they will also sound good on the Niimbus US5 Pro ...

I've heard the Verite on the Nimbus US4+ the older version to the US5 Pro. Excellent pairing.

I'm personally a big fan of the amps designed by Fried Reim. I think you've really enjoy your Verite and US5 Pro combination.

Thanks, you calmed me down a bit because I was afraid of that...

Sorry to double-post this (posted an individual thread): I've had a heck of a time with my large ears finding higher-end headphones that fit. I'll run into problems with one of two dimensions:

1. insufficient cup size (many)
2. Insufficient depth (Audio Technica and Beyerdynamic often fault from these)

I'm in love with the VCs (especially the gorgeous stabilized ones), but I'm worried that I'll get them and can't stand wearing them for long periods (like my Mr. Headphones Ether CX).

Cup size shouldn’t be a problem, depth depends on the pad. With the universe pads, I highly doubt there would be an issue.

Can confirm. As a proud member of the Dumbo Ears Society, I have had no problems wearing VC with the universe pads.

Unfortunately the same cannot be said for my newly purchased LCD X 2021.

What a pleasant sounds, it's really a great synergies IMO, Authority sounds & great soundstage as the highlight. Really make a very high bar in my closed back headphone quest...

May I ask if you got your amp on Low or High gain with VC? Thanks

Wow the blackwood is holding its own against the stabilized imho.

That African Blackwood VC is absolutely sick!

I love the mix stabilized sets, nice different direction. Natural and colored tones are on point!
