Has anyone tried both Pilot and Co-Pilot pads to provide some context to how they differ or how one might be a better application?
I agree, don't buy silver plated copper cables. I never tried hybrid cables. I usually go with UPOCC silver or UPOCC copper.I prefer my silver cable vs my copper cable with the Ironwood VC. There is not a huge difference between them IMO, but I did A/B at some point. Mine use Neotech UPOCC copper/silver. FWIW - don't go silver plated or hybrid IMO.
I did A/B and I couldn't hear any difference. S3 silver cable from Norne vs BlackWidow copper cable from ToxicCables.
I would recommend good copper cable. Invest saved money in better amp / dac or more ZMF earpads !

Yall did a great job. Thanks for this!cross-posting so people can see this =) and join the live chat!!
Wow they look great with contrast with all black. Every bit as good as the wine ones and much better than other woods with all black to me.VC has landed. It looks just as I hoped it would and my initial impressions of sound ....
really nice! It was worth the wait!
Thanks! I'm very happy with the aesthetics, Zach and Bevin did a great job as always! I must have changed my order about 5 times from wine to black and several pad changes. I'm glad Bevin was so nice every time I changed my mind. I just listened for about an hour and I got lost in music. I'm using the Auteur lambskin pads and the tonality in my system is very natural.Wow they look great with contrast with all black. Every bit as good as the wine ones and much better than other woods with all black to me.
Your setup sounds like mine: GOTL, GEC 6J5s, Bendix 6080s and ... VCs! I even used to have an RME ADI2 DAC (not the pro). Very nice all in all.

Congrats! Camphor burl is beautiful looking. My Eikon is that and it's stunning. I like it even more than my Desert Ironwood VC!I ordered a pair of VC camphor burl LTD edition 2 weeks ago. I hope mine is one of the ones Zach is currently making to take pics for the website. The anticipation and sheer uncontrollable excitement is the worst part of ordering a ZMF headphone LOL, especially for an impatient child like myself
I've pretty much decided to order a set of the Verite Closed headphones, or else find a pair used (would only get used to avoid the wait). Given my very favorable experience with a cable I just got from Zach for my HiFiMAN HE1000, I'll almost certainly be ordering an upgraded cable. Chain right now: home computer > arcam irDAC > small Parasound equalizer > MicroZOTL 2 amplifer > headphones. Zach recommends the 2K Copper.
Has anyone compared the Verite Silver with the 2K Copper for the Verite Closed headphones?
