Stax SR-009: Best Headphone Ever Made? - Head-Fi TV, Episode 008 - Page 16

Mulberry you have no clue what you're talking about, sorry.  Why don't you tell me what the impedance curve looks like for a K1000 vs an electrostat?

No... it's not that bright. But it's a lot brighter than using the 007.

Uh-oh.

 

The SR-009 are fairly priced given they are at the very top end of headphones, it's nothing like paying out $57,000.00 for a Meridian DSP80000 speaker,

Where is that random dubstep at the end of the video from?

It's from a track by Twis7 called "Ghetto Bass - Original Mix" from the Bass Rinse EP.  It's used courtesy of Play Me Records.

****...i wish i strike lottery today!

should I get the Blue Hawaii or the Woo GES for electrostatic headphones

There is no denying the value proposition of these beauties. Affordability makes the difference.

wow they look awesome, would love to hear them.

The K-1000 is NOT an electrostat. It's a dynamic.
I know. I have one right here.
As for a portable powering it... I'm going to print that out and use it to fertilize the lawn. That's some mighty fine nightsoil. (Caution: do not use nightsoil to fertilize anything you grow as food.)
If you look at the K-1000's owner's manual, it states that you need a power amp (one for speakers) with at least 8W of power.
From personal experience over the past five years of owning a K-1000, that's about right.

I am not sure how anyone sitting in a bar alone late on a Monday night, viewing head-fi and typing away on his i phone can be condescending!

 Nothing personal I just find it funny
 

Have any of you guys tried the SR-009 with dubstep?

How is it?

Btw, is the SR--009 the most neutral headphone in existence? From the FR graphs at Innerfidelity the LCD 3 seems more neutral. Anyone who's listened to both here?

there is no best, but always better
