I am really enjoying this combo with the Elite. The Elite matches my personal preference better than any other headphones I heard so far and I heard most of them. After two months of ownership I still can't wait to get my daily dose of listening in the evenings.
Endgame? Perhaps. But I think endgame is subjective. It is about finding the perfect match to your personal sonic expectations.
Sure the chain could be upgraded to squeeze out another 10% performance increase for 50% more money. But honestly, I am at a very happy place right now which I think will last longer than usual.

Right on, I got very good deal for these from a person on Reverb, the cups were in rough shape, repaired to satisfaction, and had a guy cable mod them for me and the rest is history.

Your cable modder has not been seen on reddit for 4 months now... I was hoping to use his services, too.
How did you repair the cups that were in rough shape? That might be useful piece of knowledge

LCD 5 actually works really well with tubes too. Emotional vocals and wide sound stage.

I am surprised how well these two work together.

A great picture. Everything blends in. Even the brick wall.

Listening to an amp based on the 6EM7 dissimilar triode tubes. The amp on the left. The 6SL7 tube in front is a dummy and does nothing. Astonishingly devoid of any hiss or hump. Powerful and muscular driving He6se V2. Volume knob is at midway.

How does it sound. Similar to this 6EM7 amp.

Probably, you just didn't have the opportunity to hear them through the brick wall filter

It's a full range speakers. Ideally suited for tube amps.

Yes, I know. Whoooooosh on the humor.

(the whole speaker is the baffle, save the driver.....)

Ah I see. Well as baffling as it is, it's a great sounding baffle. Listening to Danny Boy now. Bafflingly good.

Sometimes it's like talking to a brick wall
