@sp0525 I really enjoy my Verite out of all my tube amps! I recently updated my BHC with speedball and a 6S7N tube w/adapter and wow... a great experience...and I'm not even using exceptional tubes...just low-mid grade Tung-Sols and some others...
Then I'll swap to the Phonitor XE and just as awesome...but clean and neutral... the Verite keeps up and scales up and down, really a great headphone. I have the EC ZDT Jr on the way from the latest batch...as I fried my previous purchase one modding it (I figured I would hence the new model purchase lol). I really enjoyed the Verite with the stock tubes from the EC and look forward to my new one arriving and eventually throwing on some better tubes after getting the stock ones broken in.
The Verite for me has replaced my desire for the Utopia, but I'm on the fence still about the S1Ra, I'll probably pick it up eventually, I'll be grabbing 1 or 2 Vidars to run it when I do based on yours and @Torq conversation. I think after hearing it I concur that it doesn't replace the Verite but is a compliment. I don't think anything could replace my Verite or Aeolus at this point!
