Mine as well. At least according to my pad review back from Nov '19. I've got to update that soon with all the pad options...@9bphillips The Auteur hybrid pads are also my favorite pads. The auteur lamb pads are a really well beginner pads. At least it was for me when i first got it. But after a few weeks of burn-in, I started to appreciated the sonic differences of the hybrid pads and now its the only pad i ll ever use for my VC.
Yupp I think I tried the hybrids after reading your review. You were/are correct good sir. I might also add that I also enjoy universe suede pads as an alternative to the auteur hybridsMine as well.

I still like the Autuer Lambskin for its 3d imaging. That is a quality other pads can't produce to the extent the Autuer lamb does, or at least the pads I have tried. I like how the Autuer Hybrid sounds more energetic and snappy. It's a more firm and substantial sound with good details and it seems like the mids aren't as recessed and vocals are more forward or present. I do understand what you mean when you say the Autuer Lambskin is more of a beginner pad. It is a warmer sounding pad that has more of a rounded type of sound which is easy to listen to. I just find the hybrid to be more engaging and snappy. I had a few times today where I was startled with snare drum strikes! Lol. It is an outstanding pad and it really baffles me how I tried it in my early days with the VC and didn't get this sound. Like I said before it could be because I have had the Atrium on my head for a while, or tube or headphone changes from extensive burn in. Who knows and who cares because I sure do enjoy the Autuer Hybrid!@9bphillips The Auteur hybrid pads are also my favorite pads. The auteur lamb pads are a really well beginner pads.

I plan on trying a few more pads myself because I have found that I may not like a pad initially but further down the road my preference may change. I didn't like the Autuer Hybrid at all when I first got the VC several months back. Fast forward months later and I fell in love with them within minutes of having them on my head!i have a pair of Auteur Lamb solid on the way and now you all are making me curious on the Hybrid solids...
The Lambskin solid are my favs, and I say are worth a try. We all have our preferences and different gear so there is not one correct pad for all. There does seem to be team this or that from time to time, but honestly you could build a system around any of the pad options and be happy. A good tube amp in the mix and tube rolling makes that a bit more possible as well, and I have my system dialed in to perfection with the Auteur Lambskin Solid, so I know it can be done. For instance, I often hear people mention a dip in the upper mids with the Auteur Lambskin, and with the right tubes there actually is no dip at all and the tuning is flat out magical. It's as if ZMF headphones were made for tube amps. . .i have a pair of Auteur Lamb solid on the way and now you all are making me curious on the Hybrid solids...
Considering the Atrium closed isnt out yet, and nobody outside of ZMF themselves have heard it yet, that's an impossible question to answer at this point.Should I go with the VC's to pair with the Atrium or wait to the Atrium Closed? I am thinking to order it this night.
I own the VC and the Atrium and they compliment each other very well. They both do things completely different and are both awesome headphones! I like that myself. I bought the VC and held off on the VO because I didn't want 2 headphones that had similarities. For me I like to have different options. That's just me though.Should I go with the VC's to pair with the Atrium or wait to the Atrium Closed? I am thinking to order it this night.
