I'm really really interested in these earphones, how do they compare against the beast LCD-2?

Nicely done Rudi. Those Stax earphones have a great soundstage - naturally being open. Let me know how you find the mids. I find them a little too forward for me but at the same time very nice details. Those Stax IEMs are sold out in most headphone stores in Tokyo. Lucky to have them.

I asked the shop if they were balanced and it appears they are. Not bad price for balanced electrostatic earphones!

For the rest of the community here, this was a test of the top IEMs at the store 2 days ago - Red Wine Audio's mod of the AK100 (RWAK100), Tralucent 1Plus2 Gold/Sliver cable, Stax SRS-002 system, FitEar MH335DW, and my former FitEar TO GO! 334.

I daren't say or I'll have the Tralucent fans say, "I told you so"....woops, I said it; indirectly :p. The Stax were quite mid/vocals focused so for the typical "hi fi" sound fans, probably not for you. However on close and subtle listening, they're a fine and detailed pair of earphones with a wide soundstage (not surprisingly and to be expected really out of an open earphone). I personally feel though they're not for outside use...or if they used outside, in a quiet space somewhere. That hot chick sitting in the next table in Starbucks won't be impressed with Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" invading her audible personal space.

LOL.....I have a hot chick, and one is more than enough   (she might be checking Head-fi.....one should be careful)...

You have a point, that is why I am considering the Srs 005.
