I’m distracting myself building a nice neotech upocc silver cable for the new arrival... audiophile’s version of knitting in the waiting room
I was considering doing that. I'd be keen to hear about your experience in the end.I’m distracting myself building a nice neotech upocc silver cable for the new arrival... audiophile’s version of knitting in the waiting room
New review from @Torq ... enjoy

I love my VOs but my one and only gripe with them is how far away vocals can sound at times and if the VC fixes that maybe it might just replace them... I sure hope not though.
@Torq - If you happen to have heard the Auteur, how would you say the VC compares in terms of vocals?
Also, with the universe pads how would you say the VO and VC compared in terms of 3-D imaging?

In prep for the new arrival however, I have just gotten however a Forzaworks Hybrid (UPOCC copper + UPOCC silver). I think however making one would be a fun project (although I am admittedly generally as handy as a 3 y/o).
Someone say monkeypod? These are mine! The monkeypod finish and pattern comes in many varieties based on the nature of the grain. I love these and offer a great contrast to my more subdued Barnyard Atticus. Several I have seen at Zach’s shop and online are all stunning in their own way! Some are darker wood, some shades lighter, some will have a more consistent pattern, others more random.Anyone ordered the stock Monkeypod VC?
Well here it is...I am floored with how beautiful they turned out... @zach915m created something really amazing! I am floored and enamored...
Holy Purple Haze!!! What did you and Zach do there? Its funny,the other day I was wondering if Zach would be willing to add some color to his designs. Now I know. Fantastic!Well here it is...I am floored with how beautiful they turned out... @zach915m created something really amazing! I am floored and enamored...
Are you listening to Zach's or L0rdGwyn's Glenn?Well, just listened to them out of a Glenn...the hype is real! Wow...what a great sounding amp! It synergizes exceptionally well with the VC...
Wow nice.......Heard about these Purple Haze VC's. More impressive than I could imagine..........Zach...............Well here it is...I am floored with how beautiful they turned out... @zach915m created something really amazing! I am floored and enamored...
I'd try some of the other pad options before switching cans. For me, while I don't find that the Vérité Open's vocals sound "far" away (though further than with the Closed), I did find that switching to the Vérité (perforated) pads resulted in a narrower and shallower stage vs. the Universe (perforated) - both being the lambskin versions.
I measured a whole bunch of the ZMF pads as well (links in the review), but didn't have time to do detailed listening with all of them (I'll get to that at some point, likely when I have the full set, and all options, available), so other's may have similar effects.
I have, but it was a while ago, and was at the same time as hearing several other ZMF models - so my recollection of which model had what sound is muddled enough that it'd be remiss of me to comment.
Other than a change in positioning (i.e. it feeling like I am closer to the performance, front-to-back, with the closed ones) and the closed version having a more vivid sense of space (likely from the additional cup resonance/reverberation), they were very similar. But then I often don't get a lot of depth-layering out of conventional headphones. Yes, I get a sense of depth overall, distance to performer/stage, and placement laterally, but front-to-back spatial layering is much harder to discern (vs. something like the SR1a or properly setup speakers).

I have no idea, to be honest saw an opening to listen and grabbed it,then instantly got lost in what I was listening to...Are you listening to Zach's or L0rdGwyn's Glenn?
What tube rolls are they using?
