I have to say that I have owned number of the "best" headphones. And I think I have owned enough to have an opinion on what I consider the "best". And the SR-X mk3 belongs with the best.
I'm talking along with the Orpheus, the R10, the Qualia 010, the K 1000, the HP1000, the L3000 and others as truly one of the best. Dun get me wrong, we all have our preferences and we may prefer one over the other. But in terms of being an absolutely great headphone, the SR-X is one of them. But the thing about the SR-X mk3 is that it can be had for a hundred bucks or so! And all the while delivering an absolutely superlative and unmatched sound! You can't say that about the rest!
If that doesn't deserve an appreciation thread, I don't know what does.
So if you have $200 bux and want the best sound available, a SR-X mk3 and Stax transformer is the way to go. Put those Grado SR-225, Sennheiser HD600, Beyers, AKG K 701 and Sonys and all that other stuff away. Trust me. The SR-X mk3 sits among truly the best headphones out there. For $200 bux you can have something that is as good, and in some ways better, than the best of the best.
Who's with me??
