Sony MDR-V700s through a FW-1804 TASCAM firewire interface.

+1 for what JohnnyCrash said. Good tone is tone that works in the context.

That said, some are very musical and nuanced and those stand out to me. I've never heard lots of nuance through a soup of pedals and rarely from humbuckers, but I'm sure someone will point out something that will make me change my mind. The stuff Jim Campilongo does on Live at the Du Nord comes to mind as being an example of really gorgeous tone to my ears. Thanks to TDPRI for turning me onto that record - best I've heard in a loooong time.
