Excellent review. Easy to read and still with detail. Kudos.Noticed there was not a product page here on Head-Fi for the Aeolus yet (was trying to find a place to put my review other than just in this thread). I decided to create a product page and put my review in there, if anyone else wants to add their impressions and reviews there so they are easy to find.

Which pads did you use for you review??? I prefer the Verite pads on the Aeolus by a fair margin compared to the Universe pads.

I heard aeolus and verite today. I prefered aeolus by big margine bcz fun sound is my preference. Verite only sound good with good recording and sound bad with lower quality music. Aeolus have taller sound stage, big bass, and render insturment bigger than real size. Verite have Utopia like speed which make everything overly detailed and quit bright compare to aeolus, insturment have more texture. But really only 2 of 10 song will sound good bcz of unforgiving tuning.
I suspect your post just made a lot of critical listeners and ‘purists’ very excited about the Vérité!I heard aeolus and verite today. I prefered aeolus by big margine bcz fun sound is my preference.

Wow...harsh.
Funny as hell....but harsh.
Sounds like we've got us a Sour Sally...
And also kinda ironic as Zach has said in the past he's tuned several of his headphones on his Master 11.

I hesitate to call gear Phlegm though. Since I haven't heard the item in question it may very well be though....

Whoops, I forgot to add the quote you were replying to. That's who I was referring to.

The Master 11 must be the Unicorn of the AGD line up, because all of the other stuff off theirs I've heard was warm, goopy, audio phlegm. Ymmv

i don't know what phlegm means but i had nfb11, nfb 11 r2r, nfb1 and c2. the nfb1 is the most balanced and neutral amp i had. as neutral as gilmore lite mk2 but with more power and better volume control.
