    Cool, would be nice to get ears on this. Still tempted to get a Stax set if and when finances allow, though probably something not as... unobtainable XD

    @ultrabike: guess you could say Sennheiser, being the legend that it is, can be unusually... per-sway-sive.

    @ultrabike Putting S, increasing prices, well then... (fingers crossed)
    @Lyer25 I like stax as much as I dislike.. haha. There are something good, but something really tricky (e.g. too limited amp choices) too...

    @9suns Based on Japanese msrp, 009s is priced at JPY 460k and 009 at JPY 370k so 24% up. Anyway I am not very comfortable that 009s is now more expensive than lcd4 and utopia, let alone susvara. Thinking that all the mentioned products are overpriced. Maybe that's the essence of summit-fis though.

    You make a good point, but, at least, the SR-009 (and probably the SR-009S) look and feel very expensive compared to the rest of the Stax line up, Audeze and Hifiman product lines are incoherent in that sense. Also, "upgrade nervosa free", the SR-009 has a 7 year lifespan, that's very respectable in my book.

    @Vtory Crap, now I might get recalled. Ah well :P

    Real talk, I was more focused on mid-fi stuff I could maybe afford from 2006-2014, pretty much ignored big boy talk apart from reading/watching the odd review. Having said that, seems like Edifier's making good use of Stax at least, which is something.

    @9suns Glad to help!

    Yup. definitely. They know how to handle paying customers for high end products. And I also agree that Stax is "reliably" lazy to refresh their products. lol. That's good thing for sure!

    Unfortunately I was divorced from 009 two yrs ago mainly due to tonality and amp nervosa.. (This is why I am biased toward this news... oh well.)
