True. I still have my E17. It's just too good dac/amp to sell or throw away. Great to have at hand if I ever need brighter sound or need to EQ something. I think T1 has great synergy with AKG X7XX line. Tube amps are probably best suited with grados, AKGs and HD800 etc.

Have you already tried the anniversary pads on your Q's? They shift the signature towards HD650 imo. Very easy and nice mod to have at hand. Increases the versatility of your cans.

Seems legit. It's, however, always good to check the factory codes if available.
From my short time dealing with tubes, I find that warm cans just don't gel well with tubes if you like a neutral tone. It darkens it too much. With my set of m80s, I prefer it being driven from my e17/o2 than from the t1. My next purchase will probably be a odac or modi so I'll have a tube less desktop dac.

It's Sennheiser and most of the people acknowledge their rather dark sound (with the exception of the top of their HD product line probably), so it is normal and nothing to worry about. It is for certain that changing headphones will affect your experience in a most significant way. As for me, I returned my Momentums (rather due to a discomfort caused by their design) and continued with my AKG Q701, which are producing the most transparent and bright sound I ever heard (with a bit anemic bass you have to get used to as well). Tube rolling won't give you such a significant difference for sure.

A quick question - Is the above pictured tube our revered 7308 gold pin. I'll pull the trigger on this one if it is.
