Loaner Request: ZMF Verite or Utopia

Hello. I realize this is a rather serious request. I am asking for one of these headphones because I would like to compare the technical capabilities of the Gen G to one of SBAF's favorite TotL headphones. As you may have noticed, I've lately been claiming than Gen G can trade blows technically with Verite - while this is true from my memory, I'd like to actually compare them directly to make sure I'm not misremembering things. I'm also happy to use a Utopia as a proxy, since I'm aware that's at the same level (or higher) than the Verite in most regards. Here are the rules of the loaner.

1. I will have 5-7 days with the headphones from the date I receive them.
2. I will pay shipping both ways.
3. I will pay a $100 royalty fee to whoever loans it out. I will be contributing $50, and @E_Schaaf has generously volunteered to pay another $50.
4. At the end of the loaner period, I will post no less than 1000 words comparing the two headphones, and will also include a spider chart with upwards of ten categories assessing the performance of each headphone.
5. The headphones will be compared on Jot 2, SW51+, and Soekris 2541 with pi2aes.

Cheers everyone!

 

Based on your contribution and good establishments, I can happily offer you a loan of my verite (open, ltd ziricote). Also I don't hear Verite much these days as I am honestly a little more into clear mg and lcd-x.

Can I request a slight modification on #4? I am not a fan of long essay. So please limit your impression in no "more" than 1000 words (500-700 words preferred). Other rules look good to me. If you're fine with my suggestion, please shoot me a pm to discuss about further schedules and logistics.

On the rule #1 front, I will be fine with two weeks or even slightly more.

 

Thanks to @Vtory, I should be receiving a Verite Open soon to compare to my Gen G. Thank you very much, and I look forward to sharing my thoughts!

 

Yes, I want no less than 1000 words and preferably more.

 

I am in whenever I have GenG.

Verite for me.

 

I want 10,000 words

 

Would probably have a better chance of hitting that target than Vtory's.

 

I was just joshin. It’s not the number of words but what you say. And you always say useful interesting things.

 

Do you have an offer for Utopia yet? I don't think your amp's will gel that well with it but I can offer mine.

 

I think everyone here has written too many term papers.
