HiFiMan Shangri-La Jr (New $8000 Electrostat)

[purk]

Honestly, this is a steal compared to their flagship electrostatic headphones system at less than 1/5th of the cost.

Actually, I was watching Fang at the show in London, and he has a serious iPhone addition, checking it every 15 seconds for hours. Maybe his phone bill is so enormous he HAS to sell more expensive gear?

You know, the HE-1 may have prised open a previously untapped market for insane money headphone systems. Things like value for money are secondary. I would love to hear if the Jr model equals the 009 and BHSE. IMO the Shangri-La Snr. didn't so why would the son manage it?

I wonder what sounds better. The Suvrara / Hifiman Edition $6000 or this at $8000
