I like the voskhod tubes, but I've found that I prefer the GE JAN 5654w. I like the clarity of the 5654w. I should pop the voskhods in again though, perhaps my tastes will have changed.

Just got some hd560s in yesterday. It was a total impulse buy, a deal popped on slickdeals for $85 for a refurbished pair.
I'm happy with how they sound, especially given what I paid for them. They do sound thinner than hd600 though, which is my biggest nitpick. There's definitely more treble, but it doesn't feel quite as smooth as hd600. Bass feels like it extends lower, but the reduced lower mids robs them of some fullness.
That's just my initial impression, need some more time with them to get my ears properly acquainted,
Dt880 is still my current go to. Maybe my ears are just shot, but the peak doesn't bother me at all.

Yeah, but there's a bit of a veil on the high end when uses these

Been running a magni/modi stack for over 4 years. Other than a scratchy volume pot, no issues to report.
