But, it's a nice diversion...

And at least it started with the HE560. Besides, some say to pair wine with cheese, I say why not pair wine with a good headphone?

I'd rather pair a nice bit of cheese with a good headphone instead

Pair up the HE560 with some nice music and a beer. You wont be taking them off until you are drunk.

That would have to be some good strong beer. Not that Cali ipa junk though. Yuck , except Pliny . Killing a duchess de Bourgogne tnite and some franzikaner weissbier. To stay on topic, with the he560. Then maybe an absinthe drip.

Good bourbon or some nice 100% rye whiskey and ginger hits my sweet spot.

Interesting what all of you drink when listening to the HE-560, sorry for getting it a little off track

If we have to pair the HE-560 with fancy beverages every time we listen to them, you can easily go broke

Any Washingtonians, Coloradans, Oregonians get extra soundstage/imaging/realism magic certain times of the day?

Excessive alcohol consumption generally leads to some degree of temporary auditory deprivation in most individuals. On the bright side, with any luck you will probably pass out long before a quality headphone starts sounding like Beats Studio.

No? Though to be fair, it's not like I tested or even remotely noticed any sort of difference

Beer is not fancy IMO, having a Miller Lite with my HE-560 listening to some smooth jazz as I type

Recently purchased these for home listening. I'm driving these using a Bifrost Uber/Lyr 2 w/ Orange Globe tubes. I find myself having to turn up the knob on high gain to the 3 or 4 o clock position when listening to classical music. I've gone as far as all the way on certain passages. I would have expected more headroom. All my sources are at 100% volume.  For other musics, the noon to 1 position is fine, but classical seems more demanding.. Also i get more noise than i'd like.  Let me know your thoughts.

The volume knob on my Lyr2 is at 1-2 o'clock position for most genres of music, with classical its usually between 2-3 depending on the recording.
Tubes currently installed are Siemens Lorenz gold pins.
 
Not to far from your setup.
