Hi All
I have a 23 month old 009 I bought from a dealer in the UK. It has developed a marked channel imbalance. I have thus sent it to the service centre in the UK.
My question, does anyone know if they would replace the problem driver, or both, or replace the whole headphone?
I am unsure if a new driver would match the existing one that is ok. Stax do change production over time, and I can see a new driver would not match.
I have read some guys on here had issues with their 009s and as that happened soon after purchase i.e. 2 or 3 months, they got a new pair.
Any help would be great. I am hoping they don't need to go back to Japn, I am missing them already!

My - much cheaper - SR-303 needed a driver replacement a couple of times. The service guys have always replaced both drivers, they are matched. Your SR-009 will certainly get both drivers replaced.
I asked Electromod in UK, and was told the same, both drivers are replaced as they are matched.
