Well I play with them almost daily as a lot of my students need them for their postures but I never thought to use them to support my headphones I love these black ones , we have the purple ones at the studio which I m not that keen on visually. Will check Amazon for sure !

Hell yeah! Post some pics and tag me if you decide to use them, I'd love to see it!

Unless you got a DIY T2, you won't get something more realistic than that :

And yes, I do include old and new Orpheus in my list

That Blue Heaven amp is just gorgeous... what electrostatic headphone is that, by the way? I've never heard of the "ha-II"

Head Acoustics used to sell rebranded HE-60 (Sennheiser Baby Orpheus) to industrial companies for measurement purposes some years ago. They're one of them, got them for free, stax re-cabling (with 5 MOhms resistor for bias, 540V on Senn instead of 580V on Staxen's) + brand new earpads and headpad. They are glorious, btw.

HE-1 are meatier and darker, but they can't match realism of this combination on voices / strings / piano. Original Orpheus are a treat, but more mid-centered, and left / right soundstage
SR-009 are also meatier, best bass of all but not as dark as HE-1, with some high-mids coquetry, and maybe the fastest of the bunch. Not as realistic as HE-60 though.

I've a lot of staxen's on the other hand (from SR-1 to SR-009 : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sho...ictures-please.529140/page-1456#post-13725822 ), check my posts down there whenever you're interested. I've also some brave old HD800 (SuperDupont modded for 6 khz peak) and HD600 fed by a Magni3, whenever I feel I want some e-dyn sound
