The amp is unmodified/stock as I have no skills in that regard. The K701 is indeed the primary use headphone. I feel like I've actually come somewhat close to what I want to hear with the rare black plate 6FD7 tubes I have for the amp, but I would like to get a little closer if possible. New headphones are just not possible right now so I'm trying to make the best of what I have, hence the $100 maximum spending limit and desire to purchase only one set of tubes. Further down the road I'll be looking at other headphones. I've looked into the Beyer T1 extensively, along with the LCD-2 (some of you have probably seen me post in those threads), but finances are very bad for me right now and I can't consider either one this year or possibly even next year now.
I just moved into an apartment and have now lost the use of my home theater system so the Woo is my only means of enjoying music now. For certain things, especially piano music, it just does not pull me into the music the way my speaker based system could so I'm trying to do what I can with it under limited financial means.
Any tube advice you can send my way is appreciated very much. If I blow $100 on a pair of tubes and don't like them then I'm finished and will just have to make do with how the amp sounds now.
