MKVIIIse is better for Beyers T1. These Beyers were one of the headphones they have made this amp for.

 

But not sure about the Hifimans, sorry.

MK6 for sure. It is designed by in mind to power demanding orthodynamics and unique electrostatic transducers such as the AKG K1000. It will suit the HE-500 and T1's very well. The MK8 is designed to provide ample amount of power impedence wise for 150-600ohm headphones such as the HD580-800's and 600ohm Beyer's. The T1 will also pair well from a technical point of view but the T1 tesla driver can eat up more than 600ohm's at times.

great idea :) 2 headphones = 2 amps :) Buy both, compare all amp/headphone combinations and let us know ;) Then keep the better chain for yourself and take the other one to your wife > you are happy & Valentine/Christmas solved & your wife is happy > your happiness is doubled ;)

No biasing needs to be done as it is self biasing. Just drop in a tube and enjoy.

There was a very kind French guy at the London meet. Could he, or someone remind me what tubes were rolled in the mk vi+?. The sound out of the HE-6 was mind blowing.

That would be zenpunks amp and if i am not mistaken he had tung sol 5998 output tubes, not sure what drivers he uses. In my opinion the HE-6s through Didiers 6+ were the best sounding at the meet. His amp put meat on the bones if you know what i mean.

 

It's actually got me thinking about getting a mk6 for my LCD-2s but it means changing everything from SE to balanced.

The TS5998 are amazing in this amp used as output tubes. Costly though.
