A built in china kgsshv could be had for 1300-1500 usd. Half what mjolnir chargers. A carbon for 2000.
And I wouldn't touch one of those again with a 10 foot pole, for obvious reasons. Don't expect longevity or comparable sound quality.

Everything is good until you start to comparing it with other amps.
Personally I dont like Wee.. because I compared.

Not sure for your SR-009S but I do own electrostatic speakers and if played to loud with bass emphasis sometimes they can “flap“ or some call it fart, making a cracking noise as the stats are pushed to hard. I’m sure this is what you experienced and likely have no damage. Just don’t keep doing it, is my advise. It’s a very expensive piece of audio reproductive gear to abuse.Is it possible to damage electrostatic headphones by playing them too loudly? Yesterday I was listening for bass distortion in my SR-009S, and I accidentally played a bass tone that was way too loud and heard an awful crackling noise for a few seconds.
They seem to be okay but I just hope I didn't cause any damage to the drivers.

Guess you found the distortion point.
Did anyone hear the following headphones on a good third party amp and can give a short comparison in terms of difference and how big the improvement is?
L700 MK2
SR-007 MK2
SR-009
SR-009S

Thanks very much! That supports my intention to go for the 009.On Blue Hawaii + Holospring DAC + SU1 interface :
009 sounded perfect
009S sounded a bit off in female vocals, too thin. Bass was also thinner than on 009.
007 MK2 sounded very dark, not electrostatic-like at all. Bass is fuller than both 009 and 009S.
Shangrila Jr sounded less natural than 009, bass is just as good. Much harder to drive than 009.
Perun sounded very similar to 009S, but less transparent
Thanks very much! That supports my intention to go for the 009.
Problem with a SRM 006tS

I rephrase my email which was perhaps ambiguous.
I would like to know if users of Stax tube amplifiers have encountered this problem and also if a bad bias adjustment on a tube amplifier can damage the tubes and thus shorten their lifespan.
Thanks again, have a nice day
i use the 007tll.
Never had this problem.
Yes, over bias adjustment will short tube life considerably.
