    Obviously a personal and gear dependent finding, but even though the Verite is too dark for me with Universe pads (hate that aggressive 3k dip), I keep coming back to them because I just find the Verite does not sounds right with any other pads.

    Nailed it! EQ only does so much as well, as the 3k dip starts to ring audibly if you level it out more than 2 or 3 db. I admit that I am probably going to sell my VC, unless the incoming Starlett convinces me otherwise...

    @crenca I am probably in the same boat once my Auteur arrives and I get to compare the two. I guess I am a cautionary tale, I loved my Auteur, never should have sold chasing Verite/TOTL. Learned a lot about my preferences through the process though, so not all bad.

    Verite is incredible with certain things, but I listen to a lot of indie folk/rock and female singer-songwriter stuff, and the vocal presence suckout with the 3k dip is just too much for me. And I like the more forward staging of the Auteur. Verite stage is too much in outer space rather than physical space if that makes sense. Hoping to have my SW51+ or Pendant to compare Verite/Auteur
