The configuration of the BHSE output stage is more temperamental than in the standard transformer-coupled power amplifier.

Interesting.  My SR-009 is inbound so I'll be able to check out the differences between my Anedio and the Hex.  The Hex is clearly better but honestly not triple the price better than the Anedio, so I was thinking of getting rid of it.  Maybe the 009 will change my mind.

 
The SR-009 will almost certainly change your mind; The detail retrieval is too good to be true.

Gotta say, after listening to the O2s (mk1 and modified mk2) for a few hours in a home environment, they are STUNNING. Certainly better than the SR-009 to my ears. Needs to be driven with authority though. What a sound... refined... natural... powerful... musical.....

Hello,
 
Which of these two headphones Stax is the fairest (faithful) in terms of truthfulness (trueness) of tone (timbre) of a musical instrument, the Piano : Stax SR-007 mk1 or SR-009 ?.

 Not both together; this is not possible.

IMO SR 009...I have the 007 mk1 as well.... Although the decay in the 007 will probably give more of a visceral feel

Ganesh, have you had any problems with your O07's cable connection at the ear cups?

The SR-007 mk1 is better at everything in my opinion

I think too. Try an Sigma Pro/404 with an good amp and it will even better than SR007MKI.

For piano, in stock form, likely the 009... However, with many instruments (wind, cello, double bass, etc) the 007 Mk1 IMO sounds more realistic or more natural already in stock form. With a slightly more shallow pad in the back part, and with slightly bigger opening, I am not sure if it's not actually better overall than the 009, since with shallower pads it sounds more open, with slightly more elevated treble and more perceived resolution, but I could not directly compare them yet. I have modified a 007 pad for this, but in 2-3 days time I can report on how does the 007 sound with a 009 pad (which I consider the best). I know that the larger opening changes the loading of the driver, but it does sound more open, without losing bass.
 
But overall the 009 should be still better if you're compatible with its treble (and I think it has very good bass). I was deeply impressed with it, it provides more than the sum of parts.

I think there is a lack of organic quality to the music using the 009, compared to the 007.

Hello ,
I'm still looking for someone to transfer one of my Sigmas into a Sigma 404.
Can you give me a hint?
