I love what the DT880's do well, but I want to take it to the next level, so I am still thinking about the T1's. But if I am staying with my Burson amp for a while, hmm...Maybe it's down to the LCD2? Thanks for those who mentioned the Burson-LCD2 combo. How would people describe that pairing sonically? I just hope to hear some more opinions about the best higher-end headphone for the Burson.
Steve Guttenberg on the T1-Burson combo (in comparison with some other amps--Onkyo integrated and Woo):
The Burson Audio HA-160's sound with the T1 was vivid, pure, and more accurate than it was with the Onkyo. Play a great recording, and you hear everything with the Burson, but try a typical hypercompressed CD, like Bruce Springsteen's "Working on a Dream," and the sound will be little too bright, at least when played fairly loud.
The Woo Audio WA6 SE vacuum tube headphone amp didn't have the resolution of the HA-160, so it was a more forgiving match with the T1. The Springsteen CD was a lot more enjoyable; treble glare was reduced without smearing the detail. The WA6 SE seemed a better overall match, because with it the T1's sound was more full-bodied and organic. It wasn't just mellowing out the sound; no, there was a remarkable amount of inner detail to be heard.
