Hi, do these come with the tubes as well?

Hi there, are these still for sale? Is your price negotiable? It would appear that used but very good to excellent condition pairs of the T1.2s have been selling on the used market for $400-500.

Looking to buy a pair of Beyerdynamic T1.2 (2nd generation) headphones in excellent/like new condition with all included accessories. Please PM me if you have a pair you'd like to sell. I live in the US. Thanks!

Okay, I'm limiting my response to single song for the last week -- "Mrs. Cold" by Kings of Convenience.

It’s funny. I actually was going to sell my teak Auteur (I also have the Verite open) and posted it here on Head-FI. Within a couple of hours I took down the listing and decided that I was going to keep my pair. I’m glad I made that decision!

Been doing the same with my Verite. It took me a while to get used to its sound after coming from the Auteur, but I like the immersive, holographic experience. I found that I preferred using it with the amp in my iFi iDSD Pro rather than my Decware CSP2 OTL amp (which I prefer for my Auteur).

I agree - I think tubes really bring out the best in the Auteur. I love listening to mine through my Decware CSP2+ OTL tube amp.

Yes, I was wondering if I would be giving up my Auteur upon acquiring the Verite. Like you, I think they offer different enough listening experiences so I'll be keeping both!

I'm still getting acquainted with its soundstage. It's quite different from that of the Auteur. I feel like the Auteur has a natural soundstage that's spread out nicely in front of you. The Verite feels more immediate and seems to envelop you in the sound.

So I did more dedicated listening this evening with my Verite alternating between the iDSD Pro and the CSP2. Oddly enough, the Verite sounded great with the CSP2 tonight, in contrast with how it sounded a couple of days ago. I can't explain why - treble was not as recessed as it was...

Yes, I've read and heard so much about the Glenn OTL and how it's supposed to be great with the ZMF line. I've never had a chance to hear one myself either. My Decware CSP2 works beautifully with my Auteur, which I understand is a more neutral headphone than the Verite, so I was a bit taken...

That sounds like sound advice, particularly given my recent experience pairing the Verite with the CSP2. Funny, because the reviews seem to suggest that OTL tube amps are well suited for the Verite.

Hey, thanks for the follow-up reply. I've been using the Verite pads. I haven't tried the Universe pads yet but have heard that these produce a warmer and less linear sound. I knew that the headphones would probably sound different through different amps but was surprised at how different the...

Thanks for the reply! I bought a gently used pair that has about 200 hours on it, so I figured it had already been burned in.

Hi everyone! I just received my silkwood Verite open over the weekend and am looking forward to joining in on some of these discussions! I haven't listened to them long enough to be able to make any confident impressions, but my initial thoughts were very positive. They are noticeably lighter...

Hi, I’m just joining this thread and have been reading the discussion about OTLs and the Verite. I have been using a Decware CSP2 OTL with my Auteur (Verite open is en route) and have been very happy with the sound. I’m eager to hear how my VO will sound with the CSP2 and can let you know more...

Just looping back to this previous discussion - I decided to order a custom made headphone cable from Arctic Cables on EBay. Ordered on November 17th and received it on November 23rd. I'm very happy with the quality of the cable, which I got in a purple/back color combination at a length of 10...

Hi - I have never used one of those cleaning systems, but I have had a VPI HW16.5 for about 15 years and it's fantastic. The vacuum machines have worked very well for me with all sorts of records, including 180/200g. I think I picked mine up used for $400.

I have had my teak Auteur now for about a week and a half and they have easily become my favorite set of headphones. So much so that I actually sold both my HD800S and my Aeolus. After listening to the Auteur, I simply couldn’t go back to the HD800S, which, to my ears, had the more open...

Thanks! I will check it out!

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll look into these options. Any experience with the ZMF upgrade cables?

I'm looking to replace my stock Auteur cable (1/4") with a longer (preferably 8-10') one. Do any of you have any recommendations for a good value cable?

I'm sorry to hear that your Auteur is in for repair. Hope you get it back soon! I will be sure to post my thoughts about the Auteur vs Aeolus once I've had some time with them!

Hey, we all have our personal preferences, so I don't think it's silly at all! I happen to really like the grills on these open headphones, which is why if I ever decided to get a Verite, I would probably prefer the aesthestics of the open to the closed.

I have to admit - it's hard to stop looking at these headphones. Felt that way about the Aeolus as well when I received them. Love the craftsmanship!
