I really like the stock Universe lambskin.

I'm looking to get the ironwood Ltd.
Before I pull the trigger, could some refresh my memory a bit.. What are the recommended two pads to get? I'm hazarding a guess but Verite lambskin and Be2 hybrid?

My favorite is the universe.

Out of all of us that shopped the first Stabilized Wood Drop... how did you fare? I got a Grimace Verite Closed, that slipped through my fingers as I was checking out of my cart! Grrr... however I did score a Blue in Bloom Aeolus which is beyond gorgeous!

OK looks like I got my guesses wrong.
Perhaps I'll just get all three pads...

It's a little scary how pretty that blue is. I feel my pulse speed up & BP inch upwards just looking at the pictures...

I like perf hybrid BE2.

I like perf hybrid BE2.

If you liked the perforated hybrid BE2, try the Perforated Suede BE2... it's feels great and sounds beautiful.

I have them. Just haven’t tried them yet.

Pad rolling isn’t quite as convenient on ZMFs as on Empys, though there are more very good options.

Cross posting but seriously there’s synergy between Feliks Euforia and the Verite.

I’ve been getting used to the sound of the integrated amp of my Matrix Element M and the cost conscious iFi Zen Can.

The Euforia delivers a holographic and “wet” sound that can’t be achieved with the Matrix or iFi yet they still sound really enjoyable.

But the Euforia, for example when hearing a track start with a snare at the downbeat, sounds closer to the acoustic sound of an actual snare rather than the softer/rounded detail off texture and dynamics of the SS amps that I own.

It took me about 2 months of listening to accustom my hearing to that.

Looking forward to your thoughts on it a few weeks or months from now.

Please help me make a decision.

I would like to purchase a open-back headphone. I currently own a ZMF VC camphor Burl, Meze empyrean, ZMF Auteur, LCD-X and HD660s. I am looking for something that will add a different flavor/ sound signature to my collection. I run these headphones with Feliks Audio Elise and GSX-mini. I also sometimes use my old faithful cap modded Liquid platinum.

These are my options. ZMF Verite Open, He1000se or Diana V2. but i am open to other cans as well.

I love the ZMF house sound. My VC is literally my fav headphone. Especially with the Elise, its something that I keep coming back to, no matter what else I own. Its also my most used combo. VO will be my cheapest option, but there will be a long wait time. But i also do own a VC, so my question is just how much will the VO sound different compared to the VC?

Next up is the HE1000se. I always wanted to own a big hifiman can. I hear the 1000se is the king of detail retrieval. Thats one aspect, ive always been curious about. On the other hand, i have had nothing but QC issues with Hifiman headphones. I have personally owned 3 pairs on sundaras and 2 pairs of Aryas and all of them had awful channel imbalance. As a result i am terrified of getting a dud, even if its a he1000se at a cheap price of $3500. Its gonna cost me almost 1k more than the VO minus the wait time.

Lastly, the Diana V2. I know nothing about this headphone and honestly it will be my last resort.

Plz help me steer in the right direction as i consider this to be my last major headphone purchase (famous last words LOL). I want something that my current headphones dont have. I will sincerely appreciate any help/suggestion/wisdom.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. God bless and Happy holidays.
