I'm stretching on my audio memory here (at multiple points), but I felt the Kerry/Nascent T2 voicing is at least somewhat similar to BHSE (but with performance enhanced). And on BHSE I found 009S vs. 009 to be kind of a wash - both generally a good match to the amp, not strongly preferring either version in particular. With KGSShv Carbon there was a very strong preference to 009S over 009. And with "OG" DIY T2 there was slight preference to 009 over 009S. I sold my 009S a while ago!Just received a NOS sealed in box 009. Initial impressions on my Kerry T2/Linn KDS Organik are quite positive compared to my 009S (of course X9000 rules).
Many forget the source is “rather” important no matter the amp or headphone
Yes, source is important. I really like Stax from a good vinyl source! Especially a T2 (either one).
