Scutey and I are....with C3g as drivers.

Amp has less gain (have to turn volume up higher) but sounds great..

EL3N's also requre adaptors:

These adapters work also for Power tubes? They seem to be made for 6SN7 drivers.

Hi OH. Yes those adapters can be used with the EL3N for power and as drivers (6SN7), here is a pic of what they look like as powers.

What headphones are you guys using with your Elise?

I use my Beyer DT 1990 pro exclusively with the Elise, because of the sparkly high end I find it pairs really well with the Elise, just takes the edge off the high FQ's, had them for 8 months but can't imagine using any other hp now.

That's the HP I'm thinking about getting. Glad you like it.

I must say it really looks ... unique

I'll soon get HD800 back ... and finally, after months of waiting, I'll look for some brand new shiny glass thingies to put on top of my Elise.

Used T1v2 before, tested alongside HD800S and K812 - both didn't work as well as I was hoping.

Also tried DT1990 - sound quality was absolutely fantastic, but I couldn't live without the imaging of T1v2 back then.

At this price point I can't think of another hp that is as comfortable, well made and has great sound, plus with two different pairs of pads, you're effectively getting two hp's for the price of one.

Sounds like you have been using some really nice hp's, love to give the T1's try... maybe one day!. If you're looking for some new tubes may I suggest having a look back over these pages, you'll find some excellent recommendations!.

Oh i've been checking the topic and writing down most of the interesting setups ... the notepad document is somewhere on my pc
I'm sure that I'll run out of money way before I'll run out of ideas.

Lol you will!, my wallet has taken a pounding recently!, it goes with the territory!, tube rolling is infectious!, if you haven't already written these down, some worth considering, powers, Tung Sol 5998, Mullard 6080, RCA 6080, drivers, EL3N, EL12N, Foton 6N8S ribber plate, Sylvania 6SN7 GT/B. Hope this helps.

The T1.2 was another I was looking at.

 

[Scutey]

I would love to have a pair of T1.2 but unfortunately I can't have everything!, however I can't help thinking that the 1990 with the A pads on you're getting most of the sound of the T1.2 for half the price.

Beyer DT 1990 - are closed back?

 

[Scutey]

Beyer DT 1990 - are closed back?

I think they are classed as semi open.

 

[firegon]

DT 1770 are closed back, 1990 are open.
Aand on Elise with my stock tubes DT 1990 had a bit better bass than T1v2. At least for my taste. The treble was also "higher quality" but it could get quite tiring after a while. They are definitely a lot brighter.

To be honest, one thing I didn't like about it, is the single mini xlr connector. Just ... why?

I used to own the 1770 as well, I found that the 1990 with the B pads had better bass than the 1770, not in quantity but in quality, tighter and better defined.
