I had a Burson Soloist SL and the T90 paired nicely with it. Hope that helps and the T90 is a good set up from the DT880.

I have the Cayin HA-1A MK1 and Bottlehead crack,both pair very well with my cherry Eikon. One thing with the BHC its a OLT so only high impedance headphone work with it. With the Cayin both high or low impedance headphones, planar even IEM sound great. Now the new HA-1A MK2 is $1k if you can...

This is the US distributor https://shop.musicteck.com/collections/cayin but last I checked they were out,and then I found a nice used MK1 for $350 and that's that ......for now.

You and me both.

Both Mullard (Gt Britain) and the Holland made tubes are on the warm side,the British are a bit warmer. the tubes from Germany are more neutral with more air and space.I find the USA tubes like the Germany ones just not quite as good. I like the Amperex Holland made nice warmth with some...

Ok first not a big difference lots of us have +12 for planars. The Bala/Unbala is important,what ever input you are using make sure the switch is the same. enjoy 

the Eikon is better than both but not the same signature. It's closer to the HE-500 in that way but a step or two above. The LCD-2F​ is warmer and has that wall of bass that only planars can give, but the Eikon is far more transparent through out and both male and female vocals shine along with...

I bought another one too so now I'm going to build it and add SB to one then A/B them. I'll keep the one that came out best and sell the other. PS I would suggest picking up a rac 6as7g power tube or 6n13s like...

I built a BHC for the Eikon and they sound great paired. The only other headphones I have that are high impedance are the HD6XX and the T90 the Eikon is a good step up from them. It's almost the love child of the two it takes the best of both the transparency and some of the sparkle of the T90...

With that you should be good give them a little time. I find they have a sweet laid back sound with nice clarity when paired with the right Amp.

I'm not sure what the wattage is on the Ember is but the blackwood love power 1 to 2 watts in the 50-100 ohm range seems to sweet spot.

Yeah bigger opening for ears.

I would go with the Ori. They are a the older set and people (I'm one) like them with the TH-X00 the Eikon have not been out that long.   Edit:Better mids not as much slam in the bass but just as deep if not deeper treble about the same larger soundstage.

The ZMF pads work well with them. http://www.zmfheadphones.com/pads-and-cables/
