Congratulations, enjoy!
Mine are scheduled for PJ to ship on October 23.
I'm hoping to get my SR-009 sometime this week…but can't hear them until the BHSE comes in.
Not can't; won't.
(Since you could easily get an affordable amp to use with it in the meantime. Like I mentioned before, I got an SRM-212 for just $150, for example.)
True.
Thank you for the suggestions, but I'll wait for the BHSE…I'm in no rush, nor do I feel the need to spend anymore money just to hear them temporarily then have to sell the amp when I do receive the BHSE.
Well, you wouldn't have to sell the amp. You could always keep it as a backup. But I respect that you don't want to bother getting an amp now, even if it means waiting for a long time.
You do have a good point for a back-up, but I have other HP's/amps that I can listen to/enjoy if I had any unfortunate issues and was without the amp for a while. I feel I already have too much and would like to possibly downsize to just a couple of amps/HP's to leave out ready to listen to, and put away which ever I decide not listen to for a while…or possibly sell, but I doubt I could part with anything...depending on how much I enjoy the BHSE/SR-009 that is of course! Sometimes I feel its a hassle having too many choices, and while what I already have may not be too many for some, it is too many for me, so basically I'm trying to find the perfect combo for my preference (which I know is almost impossible) but this is what I'm aiming for with this purchase.

Why don't you get something small, used, and hopefully cheap whilst you wait for your BHSE? I know I would find it mighty hard to sit with SR-009's in the house and have no way to listen to them!
So, I have to admit I'm skeptical that the current 007A and 007Mk2 actually sound different
I have heared quite a number of 007 and even among MK1s there is variation (roughly said carbon box ones are more neutral SN<705xx) the best is my actual one a verry early SN701xx.
But the new one I heard was really good too, a bit more exciting sound as my neutral reference one. So I agree with Spritzer that Stax sorted out the problems they had with the so called MK2.5 (SN SZ3xxx). Two questions remain unanswered: Should the new one be called MK2.75 and when did the change occure?
That's good, then, since I wanted to get an SR-007MK2 from STAXUSA.com in addition to the SR-009 and SR-007. I wonder whether all the ones they have in stock are the newest revision. The black SR-007MK2 might be my favorite headphone in terms of aesthetics.
