The plot thickens...That was NOT DONE by Mr Rauenbühler, he THEN sold Kits that DIYers could assemble themselves - and THIS IT WAS THEN!!
He does not do that anymore since years, so this is NOT REPRESENTATIVE for his current series of Amplifiers for Stax headphones
nor for the quality of his work...

...that you will be very happy with your set as the 009 is quite easy to drive!!I'm waiting for a pair of SR-009 to arrive with an SRM-007TA. I'm reading lots of posts about amps and worrying that I'm going to be disappointed!
I currently have SR-404 and an SRM-006TII and was hoping for a significant upgrade from the new kit.
What's the likely reality?
You can see the 009 values are down the drain, at some point they might start to back up a bit, if supply reduces.I'm waiting for a pair of SR-009 to arrive with an SRM-007TA. I'm reading lots of posts about amps and worrying that I'm going to be disappointed!

I understand the concept of try before you buy, but it's not that easy with second hand equipment. I'm happy with the deal I got for these items and take comfort that if they don't work out for me I will be able to sell them on without taking much of a hit.You can see the 009 values are down the drain, at some point they might start to back up a bit, if supply reduces.
You've gotta ask yourself: is it because is the deal of the century (cost a lot more to manufacture than a 007 yet it is almost cheaper now) or is it something else.
I seriously do not understand people who buy anything, then ask while waiting. You've made your decision, hopefully you will like it. At least listen first, and then ask...
Also you need to define what "upgrade" is. It really depends on what is the main element of a "good" sound and people will vary wildly on that.
I don't think I am making a problem.That's exactly it. You've done well and making a problem out of something that really isn't one.
Bought 009 past year. I have no regrets at all. Of course you need a good chain to appreciate this headphoneI understand the concept of try before you buy, but it's not that easy with second hand equipment.

There is a fine line. But if people had access to do comparisons undistracted for a certain amount of time, they would have their eureka moments for sure.Actually when I bought STAX Set (a LNS + T1W amplifier) in the 80s, I was happy as can be - but there were no "forums" then, just friends to talk about it.
Now however whatever you get or have is immediately "questioned" as there is always someone having an "opinion" of what is "better"....
And exactly that destroys the pleasure ... comparison!
