if you could choose one headphone that does a better job than any other headphone at pulling nuances and detail out of music, what would it be?

Outside of Stax I would say a HD800. SR009 wins however if talking about Stax.
I think the Sony-MDRCD900ST's are really impressive with detail not just because the amount of detail, but the fact that they are able to achieve such great detail without having a harsh sound.
The mid range in particular is incredibly detailed.
You can readily pick up vintage Stax sets for less than the price of a new pair of HD-800s, or even NEW Koss 'stats if you want to get an idea what they are like.
i'm sure i could, but i like having something i could take out and about with me. all i'd need for the HD800s is a solid portable amp.
I think some IEM's will give you that analytical and detailed sound, but you have to think of an budget like USD 800, I guess. By analytical I don’t mean harsh or something like that, but just one that give you all you need and don't need kind of detail. Some have 8 drivers per side, so, go for it and forget the rest.
