Just for the sake of curiosity and of course science!!!, I attached a pair of Vented radial mesh (atrium) mesh and slapped on a pair of Caldera ultra perf lambskin pads on my VO and now I cant believe what im hearing.......musical bliss.
I ve been using the caldera ultra perf lamb with my VO for a while now and so far i think its my fav VO pads to date, even better than the BE2 lamb perf. However, I think the VO, in my case, sometimes sounded a bit too harsh in the treble region, mostly with female vocals. I am not sure if its the caldera pads or my Feliks Euforia Evo tube combo or even the VO itself, my treble sensitive ears needed a little taming of the highs. Afrer an eye opening two days at canjam Dallas, I was determined to get more out of my VO with the gears and accesories that i have. So i gave the vented mesh a shot and to my surprise the top end was tamed ever so slightly without affecting other regions of the sound. Now i can enjoy the open, wide sounds of the caldera pads without the sprakly treble of my beloved EVO.
If you have set of vented mesh laying around, give my pad + mesh combo a shot and please let me know what you think.
