There is no fuss. It is what it is. The AP and the 1266 are not as low in distortion in some areas as some other cans. The 1266 is a sort of unique can. It's got very interesting bass response and I actually like it. Don't like it's price nor it's looks but some may disagree and I'm kool with that. In a nutshell I can understand why some folks like the Abyss quite a bit.
As far as amp, tube amps tend to have lower distortion figures that headphones, and interact with cans differently (tube or not tube depending on many factors).
Aside from THD, I would say ADs and ADPs are not perfect, but agree they are not bad at all in their perhaps latest revision and provided no turds slipped out into the wild. There are trade offs here and there.
I actually like the cheaper Mad Dogs better (I think I heard the latest iteration?) than the ADs and ADPs because I like the extra lows they had in them.
