As a lucky owner of a BHSE, I am very interested into "upgrading" to the Grand Cayman. Just wonder what willk be the price and delivery date...

100% x9k. Not on the GC but owned the x9k for a long time and recently had the SGL for a weekend. I’m using a megatron.Hifiman Shangri-la SR or Stax X9000 ?
Today I have BHSE + SR009s that I love. Soon (I hope I should get a GrandCayman.
Since I need a second headphone, I wonder for those who had the chance to try booth at CanJam on the GrandCayman, which headphone they prefered with the GrandCayman: Hifiman Shangri-la SR or Stax X9000 ?
Could you elaborate on this comparison? What did you like more on the X9000? I own X9000 but haven't had the chance to try Shang Sr yet.100% x9k. Not on the GC but owned the x9k for a long time and recently had the SGL for a weekend. I’m using a megatron.

I like a lot my SR009s, but since I need a second headphone (we are 2 listeners), I thought I should get a dfferent one for a change (or for... an upgrade)I think I asked in another thread, but what do you and don't like about the 009? That perhaps makes this a very easy question to answer.

I really wanted to like them but sonically I felt they didn’t do anything special for an estat. I’m not a big fan of the x9k (sold mine) but the appeal for the x9k it is pretty straight forward given its very spacious soundstage and laser separation. The Shang is similar to the x9k and the 009 but without doing anything beyond - outside of perhaps being slightly brighter. Occasionally I’ve noticed people conflate treble pitched headphones as “more resolution” since their ear will gravitate towards the upper sounds not normally focused on (e.g. a cymbal). Stax imo is a little bit guilty of this since their 009 line and onwards but the SGR is like the ultimate lean into that. Some have suggested the soundstage is vast but it’s more of a function of the drivers being taller because the depth of field is pretty flat. Almost like a lambda honestly.Could you elaborate on this comparison? What did you like more on the X9000? I own X9000 but haven't had the chance to try Shang Sr yet.
