i also feel conflicted about it, but when i look at those gorgeous echizen lacquered cups, any thought of selling it seems almost distasteful

Yup. I recognize the technical greatness of the SR-009, but I personally prefer the more physical and gritty HD800 along with 90% of what the SR-009 does well.. I think I just prefer a different sound than the SR-009 because I'd also take a properly driven SR-007 mk1 over it as well.
I've pretty much used my W3000ANV daily since I bought them when they were released and the leather was starting to degrade and tear at the thin areas along the sides so I bought some replacement ones for when they do fall apart. Haven't gotten tired of the sound yet, even if I have purchased other headphones since (Enigmas and TH-X00's). Can't imagine ever letting go of my pair.
I just have to ask, has any one heard of or know of another Flagship in the works from ATH? Sony just launched a brand new Wood Back Flagship,
mdr-zr1 - it's a stunning design and delivers sonically by all reports. i'm keen to give it an audition - hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
