Please allow me to explain:
1. The store is called Refino＆Anhelo by Ishimaru denki(a major in akihabara)R&A. Japanese usually try to use those names to signify the idea of 'hi-end' or being 'POSH'. Surely, they have a lot of brands, but they do not even have a dedicated listerning room. When someone is playing for one customer, you would either wait for your turn or ignore the sound from the other rack.They carry the following brands brands.
In the R&A link, you might be able to see the headphone display(2nd row and 2nd photo from the left) . There is where all the headphones like senn 650, akg 701, Grado HS-1, Sony SA5ketcs. are displayed. The audio technica ath-w5000 is on a separate rack with its own headphone amp. As for the stax, they are over to the right of the main display where all the models,except 4070, are set-up together. THE MAIN DISPLAY AND THE STAX DISPLAY ARE HOOKED TOGETHER TO THE CABLE MUSIC BROADCAST.
That is the usual culture in the tｙpical Japanese Hi-end store.
2. It was recommended to me by the President of STAX Mr. MEGURO. He told me that they will let me listern to the 007 in quite place, that is why I went.
3. As I mentioned before, I have to look for another dealer that allow me to demo the 007 in more conducive enviroment.
