What tubes should I buy when I get the cash for it?

I'd have to look at what tubes it uses and the availability of tubes where you live, so send me a PM when you get some extra monies :P

Trust me I will not. I have my fair experience with headphones, dacs and amps.

Tube amps are the field I know the least about.

Even though it's WAY more than enough power and overamping is bad for these cans I still feel like a pleb with an E11K for these cans xD but im not going to spend more cuz I am not a money waster :P

the E11K is also a good amp.

yea it's a great amp in general, so pairing it with cans meant for even phone use is a-okay in my mind :P Dumb ebay seller is annoying though. He lives 30 minutes from me and if he shipped it, it would get here the next day. But I ordered it on Wed and he's going to wait until Saturday to ship it... Should've paid $5 more and gotten it from a competent seller

Well you just have to have good masters songs I guess, but I think stax headphones are more unforgiving.
