Thanks for this info, quite helpful

hi, after a long time waiting, i got finally my sr 009 delivered.

i am very happy with the new soundexperience. i know that my srm 006tII is not the best amp but this will be the next step.

it is not so easy to get a WOO AUDIO WES or BLUE HAWAII in germany. and for this amount of money i would like to hear it first

before i place an order. there will be a other possibillity from a german company named malvalve. they test a new headphoneamp and it should be avaliable in 2 month.

the really bad thing about my new stax is that the right driver is not as loud as the left one. and this seems to get worse tho longer and louder i listen to music. i send it to my dealer for fixing in a week or so.

but i recognised that the bass perfomance is less spectacular comparing to the 007mkII.

this might be ok and reminds me what my lyngdorf class-d amp did to my martin-logans after calibration. but it is possible that the 009 has a kind of damage in its bass preformance also. 

@ aross : do you have the same experience comparing the two headphones?

thanks
