I use mine with an ASL AQ1001DT in triode mode (30wpc in triode). Very lush (tube dependent obviously) and have no desire to try anything else out. (did try it with solid state and wasn't happy). So can't say I've compared it with much, but these headphones have.
I thought the grado rs-1 with ra-1 and senn 600 were the top phones for a realistic price, but the k1000 has completely trumped both and not by a little. Good luck and keep us posted on what you go with.
