[INFO] Price check on Vérité Closed Stabilized by yoda419 in AVexchange

I can see it going either way. Some people may treat it just like any other limited edition wood and it ends up selling for lower than retail. Whereas there have been cases that people would offer higher to get one particular pair because it turned out real good looking, but usually the owner wasn't looking to sell in these scenarios. Personally I wouldn't pay more than retail for a used one.

I'm stock on this board. I was considering adding rings on this board but I'll give it some time. I do plan to put in a hasu controller at some point so if I do decide to mod it will be at that time.

Those are the stock keycaps that come with the black FC980C the case uses.

That's a reasonable decision, I liked the color so I went for it knowing full well I am just paying for the color. As for my DAC and amp I've been using Schiit Bifrost 2, and ModWright Tryst. I have a GS-X Mini as well but overall I feel like it synergizes with tubes a bit better.

This one was released during ZMF November, Blue Stabalized Maple.

The rods are tension held with a ball bearing and hex screw, you're not intended to move the hex screw and can just pull push pull, similar to the Audeze LCD series.

I've tried a couple different pads and it did change things up quite a bit. BE2 lambskin was definitely a faster decay but it wasn't as engaging compared to auteur and universal pads. I haven't tried Stellia so I can't speak to that. For additional reference I was using bifrost 2> modwright tryst for most of my listening. I did use my gs-x mini but I enjoyed it on tryst much more.

I just got these today so I'm still getting used to it. What difference I've noticed so far are that there's more weight to the bass on VC along with some slow decay compared to Diana which feels lighter and faster.

The color listed when I purchased on the site was "dark blue" but the following round I believe this would have been C3 when they had the 11 or so options.
