Thanks kindly: I'll try to get a hold of one.Lyr 3.
It has the impact, detail and extension on both ends and it was one of the better amps I've paired my Eikon with.

By "mid-tier" I mean not $2k TOTL amp but nevertheless something that can hold its own and isn't some knock off ChiFi trend of the month product.
If anyone has stained ZMFs, please share pics! I've seen metal's purple and the blue and purple Verite Closed and am trying to choose a color for my Atticus custom order. They've all been beautiful and I'm leaning towards purple, but just hoping to see some other stained options. Thanks!
Just got a used pair of Atticus. I have only one set of pads the suede Ori. I like everything about them but the bass is definitely too subdued. My Verite Open with suede pads has more mid and sub bass than the Atticus with these pads. Which pads would retain the spacious sound of the suede Ori pads with added midbass? Will the Hybrid pads do that or the Eikon Suede?

I have found (in my limited samples of course) that the lambskin pads give the Eikon a more energetic sound, with wider sound stage and a slight loss in sub bass. The clarity and openness wrought from them make even these tired old ears perk up with verve. The suede pads give better bass, and a "darker" sig, giving a warmer overall sound. From memory, I believe the Atticus was more energetic (as many have stated) and vibrant than the eikon, but I do not regret purchasing the Eikon at all. An excellent compliment to my LCD-3's they are.
Well the Ori suede pads actually reduce the bass on the Atticus, makes them sound almost bass lite.I have found (in my limited samples of course) that the lambskin pads give the Eikon a more energetic sound, with wider sound stage and a slight loss in sub bass.

Stock, non-suede Atticus pads (which I believe are the same as stock Ori pads) should take care of that bass issue nicely.
I have a padauk Eikon -- a powerful, impressive headphone in many ways. I'd be interested in trading a bit of that abundant sub-bass for a darker sound...
Which suede pads are you referring to here? There are so many ZMF pads now; I need the formal name to have a chance of getting the right ones.
(thanks!)
