Well, i have a list of high end headphones for this month...and yes T1's is a choice. (to buy)

I would strongly recommend a good quality tube amp with the 600 ohm T1s. Being high impedance cans, they really need a tube amp that can supply them large voltage swings (which tube amps can generally do better than SS amps). For every good SS amp pairing with the T1s that I've heard, I keep coming back to tubes.

But when I plugged in the T1s, I likely never would have bought them (and they're one of my very favourite headphones of all time).

I wanted to know about their new version, do you own it...the160D? 

I want some advice with the T1's, cause im upgrading my gear soon.

No problem. If you're stuck on a SS amp, the Meier Audio Concerto does work very well with the T1s/HD800s/LCD-2s/D7000s.

 

Good luck! Oh and you can call me Peter.

Peter... I just noticed something last night. The T1 seems to blossom at around 10 - 10:30 on the volume dial @ High Gain on my Ultra Micro.

I am the one who usually listens at fairly low levels and from my past experience, a lot of good speakers sound full at moderate volumes.

I was enjoying the T1 immensely @ 10 - 10:30 (Note High Gain, not medium) and felt that the midrange was just right and I actually heard some of that famed front to back imaging.

But the moment I play it at a quieter level, the image becomes diffuse and the midrange becomes pale.

The bass control too improves with higher volume!

Well, I care for my hearing more than I care for the T1... am I playing it too loud?

I have the Burson 160D on the way and will try to post an update. Can't see any reason why it wouldn't work well with the T1s on paper, so long as the 160D can swing the necessary voltage. My T1s sound different, but to my ears equally excellent, out of a Cary tube amp and a Luxman SS.
