Edit (11/22/22): if there is any interest in the STAX SR-009S, I am willing to split up the package as long as the SR-009S sells first.

Good Day All!

I am offering, for sale, a phenomenal top-of-the-line Electrostat combo deal; a Mjolnir Audio KGSSHV amp (energizer) and STAX SR-009S headphone, both in excellent condition. As many of you know, Mjolnir energizers are considered some of the most finely crafted drivers of e-stat headphones, with the Kevin Gilmore-designed KGSSHV leading the charge as one of the best more-affordable options. The STAX SR-009S needs no introduction, as well; prior to the recent (and hard-to-find, long-wait time) X9000 being introduced, the 009S was the premier e-stat in the contemporary market.

As noted, both headphone and amp are in excellent condition; the headphone is from 2021 and the amp is from 2022. I obtained the combo around 6 months ago and have put in very little use; unfortunately, I have had little time for head-fi as of late, and my e-stat set-up is in its own dedicated listening room, where I hardly ever have the time to spend in.

Both headphone and amp come with their original packaging and materials. Please note the following regarding this: the Mjolnir amp's original packaging is essentially just a shipping box (as you know, Mjolnir is a small operation manned by a solo individual in the community, Spritzer) and does not contain a power cord. The STAX packaging is complete, and please note that the wooden headphone case has a slight crack in one of the corners which makes that corner seat irregularly. I am not including the STAX stand or the STAX dust cover.

I am selling this wonderful combo deal for a price of $5,000 shipped

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, looking for to helping somebody reach their e-stat end game!

Thank you gentlemen, appreciate it!

This really is a stunning combination; absolutely the most incisive, detail-oriented combo I've ever listened to music on. As you noted, it'd phenomenal for Classical. I also loved it for Jazz.

Maybe is there someone here who can compare this combination of Mjolnir Audio KGSSHV + STAX SR-009S with the combination Mjolnir Audio KGST + STAX SR-009S?
What is the difference when listening to classic music, jazz and blues? Which combination is preferable?

I had the KGST for about a year with the 009s and recommend the KGSSHV (in this case, much cheaper). The KGST just doesn't get the bass out of the 009S, where the HV and the carbon can. On top of that the HV is a better amp for the 007 and a few other headphones, so long-term it's better purchase imo.
KGST does sound pretty similar to the BHSE, but that extra juice the BHSE provides really makes a difference for me.

Now there are two options for sale, both cost 5000 USD:
Mjolnir Audio KGSSHV + STAX SR-009S
Audio Mjolnir KGST + STAX SR-009S
Moreover, KGST is one of the last, according to its S/N.
I wanted to buy it, but then I changed my mind and bought the Jecklin Float QA.
