Great to see so many of you guys ordering the VC! Yall are in for an audio treat.

I have spent more headphone time in the past 3+weeks than I have since I became interested in headphones,way back when. Its like putting on the VC has become an event for me.
NBA season starts in 32 days,and watching my Lakers takes me well past 1am out here on the East coast,leaving me only two hours of listening time per evening. Either I will need to extend my self-imposed 3am bedtime,or im going to neglect the Lakers. Decisions.

go Lake Show! maybe this season we'll have something to celebrate haha. man the last few have been frustrating... i'll take a deep playoff run, even if it's not a title. also super excited that there isnt a super team out there that you can pencil in as the champs year over year. i have to think back to the pre-Kobe/Shaq or Duncan/Spurs era for the parity we should have this season.

and so that we're on topic, can't wait for my treat to arrive!!! one thing i'm not seeing much of a consensus on is burn in time on those BE coated drivers. i didn't experience any significant burn in issues with anything until my new Auteur. that baby took 100ish hours to really settle in. out of the box it did not sound that great, but now...love it! curious if the BE coated drivers take more or less time to settle in.

Went with the desert ironwood in all black. I'd also prefer to have more emphasis on the wood.

If I enjoy the sound but find the desert ironwood too heavy, I'll likely sell it and get the monkeypod. Unless perhaps a cocobolo LTD becomes an option in the future

That's also one of my concerns. Let's see....

Clippers vs. Lakers opening night!!!! OMG!!!! And that comes after Zion making his pro debut vs. Toronto!

You know I havent heard too much of a change TBH. Perhaps a little more smooth in the treble region,but for whatever reason the VC hasnt been nearly as dramatic as the VO in changes over time. Im well over 150 hours by now.

I find that the more time I spend with headphones, the more I start to value craftsmanship versus only sound quality.

With that said, got the LTD edition, and was almost afraid it was going to be gone really soon after availability start.

Well, the VO took about 100 hrs to open up; but the noticeable difference came after 150hrs. After that it slowly settled over the next 150hrs into the Verite I know and love now and hasn’t changed much since!

Also, I’m noticing Zach updated the shipping times to Nov/Dec and Dec/Jan for the VC & VC LTD.

Looks like it’s time to forget I made this purchase until ship time so I don’t get run over by the hype train...

@Monsterzero Thanks for providing us all with your thoughts, comments and the rest on the VC in the dark days before we have our own!

No problem Chris. It sounds like yall wont have to wait too long until you have your own VC arriving on your porch.
Looking forward to the first reactions from everybody.

I hope this is our delivery person...

This must be the hottest thread on Head-fi now. Everyone's deserted the Verite Open thread. It's just me talking to myself there.

 

[Wildcatsare1]

Thanks Wildcats!!! From your description I still pick the VC, but ultimately I think I'm sold on both!!!! But I'll wait to get my Aeolus and my VC first...

You’ll love the Aeolus as well, I have one and really enjoy it with classical.

@UntilThen - soon will come the VC-tube-rolls thread I am sure.

I'm new to this hobby (I've listened to music all my life, but only started to take it "seriously" a couple years ago). At the beginning I was skeptical about the whole concept of "burn-in", but after using my Stellia for some 100 hours I've become a believer. Out of the box they felt stiff, inorganic, not full. I felt there was a veil between the phone and my ear. 100 flight hours later they sound MUCH better. Looking forward to hear the same with my ZMFs.

Very wise words. Just forget about it and sometime in the future you'll have a nice surprise.

 

[Wildcatsare1]

Feral cats, did you mean, the VC is cleaner or VO, very last there?

The VC is a little faster, with the dynamics and impact highlighted, not night and day, but a shade.

@UntilThen - soon will come the VC-tube-rolls thread I am sure.

C'mon man,you already sold the HD800 and LCD-3. Why are you delaying the inevitable?!?

 

[kumar402]

well I thought the limited Ironwood will get over in few mins so I didn't pay attention at all to what I selected and just ordered.
Where can I see the details of my order? Oh wait in email
it says Grille and Rod Color - Rose Gold(Chromed Steel)...hmmm may be I selected this to increase the WAF (wife acceptance factor)
Chassis - Black
I have no Idea how would it look.
