You just cost me another $155 to find out if 007a pads are better than 007 pads. I looked around but just bought them from "joynetcafe on Ebay. Free shipping so sounded reasonable.

Let us know if you need help replacing the pads. It's confounding at first.

I just got my Stax 507 today from a fellow head-fier. So right now I am considering selling the LCD3 and the 507 and get the 007 now. 
 
I checked the pricejapan website, but it seems that all 007 listed there now comes with the amp as a bundle. Seyo shop, which I bought one earphone some time ago, have the 007 for 2.2k, does anyone know if there is a place which I can get it for even cheaper price?

I think you'll be pleased.  I much prefer the new pads.

heh, I'm going through a similar situation at the same time. Just replace LCD3 with HD800, D7000 and RS1. (And the 507 with the 407 which I got a week ago.)
 
But it's the same result. After just a few days with the 407, I knew I had to try the higher end Stax, Even if it meant selling all my current headphones (which I really like) to do it.

Tech break: can i replace the faulty zeners in my KGSS with these which are 5W, any issues with higer output than needed? Their current regulation range is 8ma-31.6ma, is it good fro the PSU?

Why don't you take a look on Audiogon? I got mine there in excellent condition for about 1800. The price range is 1750-1900 for a pair in excellent condition (9/10).

Most 5W zeners wouldn't fit the board so stick with 1W units.

Thanks spritzer, That's good to know. i'll look elsewhere, just thought to get along someone's ride. but aside from fit will it work in there despite it's higer rating, how much current is running in this stage?

 

[spritzer]

Mouser has free international shipping on orders above 100$ so that's always a good choice.  Just add something you'd need later on like XLR/RCA plugs etc.

Xicon 273-3K-RC is out of stock at Mouser, any alternatives for the KGSSHV?
