Your message is more confusing than the actual models lol
HEK, HEKse, HEKv2, HEKv2 SE
Replace the K with 1000 if you'd like.
Those are the models I'm aware of.. most important is you like whatever you have. Hifiman should've made it easier for us.

Agreed. The SE has darker wood veneer and was released before stealth came around afaik

I'll put a Borden on the Little Dot. From what I've heard that thing will kick out enough heat to throw the Valhalla into thermal shutdown

The Valhalla is sounding Great with Dave!

That's the nice part of going fully balanced, all the cabling is of high quality, they snap into place, and you get the benefits of inverted signal correction.

I am not fully balanced--so neither is my system.

I guess if nothing else the Valhalla will play nicer with low z headphones due to it having a low gain setting

As long as you're not single-ended, I think there is no reason for undue concern

I really don't have Any high impedance headphones. The only tough to drive headphones are my HE6se V2's.

I'm in the same boat. Def. throws a curve when shopping for tube amps - esp. if you're looking for 0 negative feedback
