    I've got an Atrium Closed on order. How are you liking it so far?

    The ACs are very good. I am still burning them in and still getting used to them. I am an HD600s guy. These are steps up in bass, and micro dynamics - I hear a lot of stuff I had not heard previously. I am missing that last 5% of the top end that I like, but am experimenting with pads and cables. I am certain I will either find what I am looking for or I will simply get used to the presentation. A+++

    I bought all 4 recommended pads that Zach has liked on the AC: Caldera Thin, Caldera Suede, Bokeh Suede, and Auteur Suede (solid). Which pads have you tried so far?

    I have the Auteur Suede and Lamb, the Universe Suede and Lamb, and the Eikon Lamb. I am, waiting on the Eikon Suede right now. I picked a lot of them up on the B-Stock sale and saves a mint. I don't know them well enough to articulate the tone of each, save to say I keep going back to the Auteur Suedes.

    Oh.BTW! I think I messed up the abreviations here. I should call these the AuCs - Auteur classics. Changed this in the post. Sorry to have confused the conversation.

    Ha, I was starting to question your pad choices until I got to the part about it being the Auteur Classic, not the Atrium Closed. I have an OG Auteur and my favorites are Eikon Suedes and the stock Auteur Lambskins.

    Just tried recieved and tried the Suede Eikon pads. Whoha - it's thick and that bass reaches into the mids and just clobbers them. Not for me.

    I never tried them on the Classic, only on my OG. I felt the same way about the Eikon Lambskins on my OG as you do about the Suedes on your Classic.
