Who drives their cans with tubes?

I'll play!!!
Mapletree Audio Design EAR+ HD Super II amp w/2 Gold Lion EL84s and 2 12AX7 Amperex Bugle Boys. Headphones used are Audeze LCD-2 Rev1, Grado RS1i & Beyerdynamic T1 Tesla.

My tube setup is a Millett Max Hybrid Amp into Beyer DT770/600s or AKG K340s or AKG K271 Studios. They are all good in their own way! :music:
 
I drive my Grado sr325is and Fostex T50rp (modded) with a Woo WA6--very nice. I didn't care for the Woo with my K702s. I'm currently using an O2 for those.
 
I recently resurrected my hybrid (hybrid is as far as I go with tube gear) SS/Tube Head-Direct EF1 after over a year of non-use to switch up with my pure SS Matrix M-Stage (according to mood/material). Currently using a NOS Tung Sol 12AU7.

Great review and pics can be found here (this is the last page, the conclusion page):

PS: This model was "upgraded" to the EF5 which, afaik, is little to no different besides having a silly plastic tube holder on top which makes it hard to roll tubes and many quickly removed. If you can find a used EF1 it is a bargain. (Glad I never bothered to sell mine!).
