crosspost...sorry

Question:

T1+Wa2 for 1700.00 usd

             OR

T1+ Meier Corda Classic for roughly 50 usd more

For primarily classic rock,metal...lossless files some 320 mp3

Which is the better combo and why?

I'm a newby here and basically posted the reverse question of this thread here:

Sadly no responses yet... :xf_eek:(

I believe I have a very nice little tube amp (Luxman SQ-N100) and was wondering how the T1 would combine with it...
When i remember well the 6 Moons review was positive about the headphone section.

Tubes (esp. OTLs) really work well with T1s. I've had an otl as my main amp for the last 4 yrs.
 
I'm venturing into SS territory next with a gs-x mk2. Hope I like it with the t1.

I had the chance to audition the T1 with Bifrost+Valhalla setup at this summer's Socal Head-fi meet, and was definitely blown away.  While there were many great setups there, the T1+bifrost+valhalla combo was uber smooth and in my opinion, slayed the HD800/LCD2/LCD3 and basically anything that wasn't a STAX.

From my long-term experience with the T1, an OTL tube amp such as the WA2 or Bottlehead Crack + Speedball is the way to go. For a cost-no-object amp, I would imagine the ECBA with Psvane 300B black bottles would be heavenly.
