The way I took it, especially with the 12/3 date is it is new purchases today 11/25 - 12/3. It is the Stax Black Friday sale.

Me too but the language is a little confusing in their email.
“This extended 2-year coverage provided by HeadAmp also applies to pre-orders for the flagship SR-X9000 headphone”

guys has anyone measured this headphone?

 

[catscratch]

There is a full Stax measurement database at inexxon including the x9000 but these measurements are diffuse field compensated and the bass seal is not always 100%. But I believe they use a very high-end rig and seem quite reliable.

thank you, I was hoping to see measurements from Resolve or Oratory or Crinacle but I guess these headphones are pretty rare and hard to get a hold off.

Looks very plausible. The bass coupler seems to be light, but I will know (in comparison with other headphones) if I find time also measure them. Some time ago I tuned my coupler to match Tyll's figures with quite many headphones. Bass coupling is usually different between combinations of people + ear pads + clamping force and other factors, so it might sound different on one's head than it measures on the rig. Unless one makes a dummy head modeled after themselves (no pun, of course).

I've heard the X9000 and BHSE paired with a Chord Hugo TT 2, and with a Bricasti M3, and thought both DAC's did not allow that system to reach its full potential.

However, the X9000 and BHSE paired with the Schitt Yaggdrasil DAC paired much better.

The best sound I've heard with these components so far, and the DAC that I purchased, is the far more costly Mola Mola Tambaqui.
When I use JRiver software to drive FLAC files on this system, a majority of very familiar titles take on unprecedented, highly natural detail and staging.

I played the following Stax combination:
- Dac MOLA MOLA TAMBAQUI (a killer)
- IFI iESL from the headphone output with the TAMBAQUI

It's just phenomenal.

Chord I never appreciated. And even more after the OBJECTIVE analysis of AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW.

I learned from REAL headphone gurus and experts that every amp especially tube amp deserves good isolation no matter how expensive and good they are! I was told to try HRS isolation base to start with, they made isolation materials for US military (Definitely not snake oil) and they could really deliver the body, naturalism, bass isolating all the digital glares, piercing and thin sound.

Good isolation can make more significant and positive difference in a balanced and organic way than cables and even DACs in many cases! The majority of my amps are now being used with their isolation.

Then why are you selling it?

I have upgraded to their higher models as you could see in my pictures if you could identify.
