Most electrostats are quite good at pulling the disappearing trick, but yes, the 009 is one of the very best at this.

QUite good yes...but don't do it so completely like the  009. at least not in my experience. 
 
The HE90 was also one such headphone.

Yep

 

[wink]

Heard the HE90 three times, and am still enthralled by the experience.

 but would like to know if a Decware Taboo (arriving next week) might pair better with the 009. (WEE+Taboo+009)  The Taboo is intended for use with a CSP2+ and LCD2. While waiting on the Taboo I tried the Stax and fell in love.

 
Taboo is 12AT7 driving EL84 with 5U4 tube rectification in single-ended pentode mode.  Can't really see it sounding bad with WEE/SR009.

Thanks for the input. Jon L . I hope I get a good deal for the WEE, so I can try it with the Taboo.

I want share my set up for Stax Sr 009 plus Srm 727 mk 2

With these combo above to my Stax Sr 009 sound quality is already good

For better Sound Quality I add pre amp to my set up above like

Eximus Dp 1 as DAC amp and pre amp

For the MAXX set up I used my tube pre amp from Germany T + A. P 10.2

Please see my set up below in this thread :

Question to Rudi or anyone else: are you actually hearing any improvements when using the 727A as a direct power amp with the Eximus?
And, if so, is the difference really palpable?
