I don't think as much. I think the Aeolus hype (well deserved) plus the price point attracted more buyers.

To give you an idea, i ordered Verite 3 months ago and will receive them this week.

We JUST last week got caught up on Silk Verite, meaning that any order taken now will be immediately started and shipped in 1-2 weeks. We are working towards carrying stock of the Silk sets.

For LTD's like the Ziricote, we're a bit longer out - but working hard to get those out. Ziricote I'd estimate 3-6 weeks on orders taken now.

It seems that soon I will have the Verite driven by Bryston BHA-1 amplifier.
What type of cable would you suggest for this match...copper or silver? I was checking the Forza Audioworks website but now I am not sure which one to choose...

Most of the headphones I have bought sound flat and lifeless prior to break in. Not the Verite! After setting it up for continuous play break in, I put them on to check volume. They sounded GREAT! You wonder if they will sound crappy when broken in? NAH!!

Trying something different this time for break in continuous music. I am an Amazon Prime member so I decided to use it to provide my break-in tunes. Does not sound quite as good as Jango, but it might just be the break-in .

Update: Amazon and Jango no longer have hours of continuous play music. I am having to break in using Carolina Beach Music from online station 94.9 The Surf FM Radio out of Loris, SC. This is going to be one Bluesey Verite.

Take a look at the Norne Audio website, he makes great cables, as good, or even better better than the “Hi End” (jaw dropping experience). Trevor’s Cables defy the traditional, hot for silver, mellow for cooper. Additionally, Zach/Bevin have a pute silver cable coming out shortly.

I've got one of ZMF's new pure silver 2K cables and it's very nice. I'll do a write up on it when I have done more time with it, but right off the bat it seems like a great match with the Verite.

There are also pink noise generators online that can be used for burn-in.

Ok, @zach915m - just making sure. Universe pads are flat. Verite pads are angled. Yes?

I'll get a picture comparing the pads soon but:

Verite pads are the thinnest with the least angle.

Universe pads are the thicker/thickest pad for Verite with more angle.

Thinner = more neutral

Thicker = warmer

Universe left, Verite right. Yes?

And thank you for helping. Much appreciated!

Also, BE2 pads on now. They sound super great. The suede perfs have some serious competition here for best inbetween Verite/Universe pads.
