Got a new baby home: a Stax SR007 Mk1 early version... in mint condition.
Initial listening show that is it not better or less good than my SR009, it is just different and a very good complement : SR009 for classical music and SR007 for pop/rock or SR009 for critical listening with attention to the details, and SR007 for cool and relax listening. The 007 indeed offer (a little) less details BUT is (IMO) more round and more engaging.
So, with the purchase of this SR007 mk1 I can move my EC445 / Hifiman HE500 (modded) to another room, and just kept the BHSE/STAXs in my listening room. This clean a little the top of my Audio furniture.
Be careful of the cable attachment. The reason for the MK2 was to eliminate potential stress on the cable connectors.
