I heard the 009 out of a BHSE (I think) and at the same meet I heard two different O2 setups (a Liquid Lightning and I believe a Woo). I had a better listening experience with the O2 rigs, though the source material and upstream components (none of which I was familiar with) may have played a part. Top tier electrostatics are very special; makes me not want to go entry level/vintage unless at some point in the future I start jonesing really bad.
QQ: I balked at $40 earphones just this morning. Not sure I should even be talking about 'stats, even the affordable ones, for the foreseeable future.
