Perfect headphone / Bottlehead pairings

Beyerdynamic T1 are very good match with the Crack but I like the balance of the T90 over them. Very open so everybody else in the room hears them also
 
I'm using HD700's with my upgraded Crack (w/ speedball, Mundorf output caps) and really enjoying the combo.  Thinking about upgrading the cable on the phones, possibly a moon audio blue dragon.  Great detail, yet still warm and has a quickness for more upbeat music when needed. 
 
Hi,

I just finished the Mainline build. Has anyone tried the Focal Clear with this amp? Any thoughts on whether this would be a good pairing?

Thanks

I received a pair of HD 6XX and I really like them with the CRACK, with speedball upgrade and that IBM tube (and a . I find the HD 6XX  to be rather delicate in the highs; detailed but with a silky finish, like a caress on some satin nightgown and haflway through the bottle of Chablis.

Your experience may vary.
 
Red this interesting thread for the first time.
I would suggest to pair the quickie with decent earbuds.
K's 500 or K's 600 are both in the 110db / mW ballpark and they are pretty good (and not so expensive, between 70 and 110 USD).
They both are high impedance earbuds (500 and 600 ohm) and, IME, their sound is close to over-the-ears phones (I also have Grado gw100 and AKG phones to compare with).
 
I have a modified DT770 Pro which I replaced the drivers with the 600 Ohm ones.  Very good upgrade, they are kinda bright, but I bought and EQ to tone them down.  Lots more detail and the bass is more tight now.
