MH, what a surprising news! I hope you like the combo, it should probably cure the upgraditis for a while

Looking forward to your impressions, whichever direction they swing to!

you will not be disappointed. Recently got the 009's with the Liquid Lightning and the definitely best the LCD-3's/WA5 combo. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of the 009's.

So you bought them blind? Oh boy. I hope you end up feeling the way I do about them. I was absolutely floored...and you know the rest.
 

 
Well, I've sold off my T1s and had an itch I needed scratched (and you guys weren't helping either 

).

I bet you'll like them. We have similar ears (at least I think so) and you weren't wowed by any of your previous stat experiences either. Never heard the 727 but if it's even a fraction of what the LL was when I heard it you'll enjoy them.

Fingers crossed. I do hold out hope for them (SR009s) and based on what I've heard, looks like Stax has come through in spades. Now I just need to sit back and wait for them to come in.

At least you're not like me and still have tons of good equipment to enjoy music on while you wait.

I got my SR-009/SRM-727II combo directly from Stax USA a few weeks ago. Suffice to say that my upgraditis should be under control for quite a while. I'll advise you though to be patient with the SRM-727II, which unlike the SR-009, does require some burning in.

Well, it seems that I've pre-ordered the SR009/SR727II from Elusivedisc today. 

 
ETA 1-3 weeks.

Thanks for the heads up on the burn-in. I usually give amps/headphones 150 hours before passing critical judgements.

Waiting is always the hardest part when you order new gear but oh so rewarding when it arrives. Morbid I really hope your 009's come in soon, it really has to be awful to wait without music.
Please post up your impressions when you get your stax rig in Peter, looking forward to your impressions.

There is a Blue Hawaii and 009s on Ebay. Weather it is worth it or not I don't know.

Quoted from the eBay listing, this is the seller's "guarantee" or lack thereof:

"All Sales Are Final and As Is and Shown.  This means: All items are tested unless mentioned otherwise.  Electronics, due to time and age, are prone to failure from rough handling during shipment. We make no guarantee that they will work after shipment.  MOST will, some will die from parts being shaken, broken or jarred during shipment and because of age they can fail." 

Caveat Emptor!

Sounds like the 30-30 warranty. 30 feet after they leave or 30 seconds; whichever comes first. I'd be very wary of spending so much $ on such an ebay listing.

And if they plan on sending the amp only in the box it is sitting on in the photo, I can tell you in no uncertain terms that shipping damage will occur.

Congratulations Peter! I got my 009/727II combo a few months back and I love them.

Hey guys/girls,
 
If I get let's say the Stax SR 4170 i.e headphone+ amp combo, what will I need apart from them to connect them to my laptop? All my music are FLAC, so I guess the source is decent?
