Ha.  Weight; I can handle.  It's the price of these 009 + amps that are a deal breaker for me.  =]

Yeah, luckily I prefer the sound of the 007s, I feel like a dodged a bullet.

I looked online for the weight of the SR007 and SR009.  Stax says that the SR007 is 18.1oz with the cable, and a few sites say the SR009 is 21.3oz, presumably with the cable.
 
In my experience, the weight between the two headphones is pretty close, though the SR009 without cable feels subjectively lighter to me than the SR007.  That might be because I handle other peoples' SR009s with a bit of excessive care
 
The SR007s are the most comfortable headphones I've ever used.  The SR009 is not quite as comfortable, but it still fits me much better than the Audeze and HiFiMAN's.  I've never had any head, neck, or shoulder strain from either headphone.  I wouldn't disqualify either headphone based on ergonomics.

Hi, I just have a very quick question, out of curiosity : when plugging my Stax headphones (SR 507) into the 323S, I sometimes hear a little pop (sometimes not). I've never bothered with that very much, but is it the stators discharging in the same way they do when touching the plug after unplugging it ?

009's are about the same weight as 007's? If they are that is reasonable. I went to a meet and heard LSD2 and HE500 and they feel at least twice the weight. To me that is a deal breaker.

 
You heard LSD2 at a meet?  Really.  Must have been a helluva meet.  All there was at the meet I went to was beer.

I think there was more LSD2's than anything else. Might have be a tie with the HD800's.

I sure hope no one dropped anything.

That's what I meant. There is no way the SR-009 are or feel heavier on the head then the LCD-2 or 3 and the HE-6.

I mean heavy when wearing on head. I have tried lcd2, hd800 and w3000x but not the he-6 and lcd3. it may be the mechanism.

How much do they sell for and how does the sr007 sounds with it?

 
The SRM-300 then?  They are discontinued and the SR-007 is not recommended with that amp.  The SRA-12S hasn't been made in 30 years and it requires complete refurbishing at this point.

Spritzer, my question was about the cost of the Pawel HP1 system.
Sorry I was not clear enough.

Lurking around the thread, as I'm soon to become a happy SR-007 and GES amp owner, I must say that I've had the same problem, unfortunately. Not that it's a big deal specfically (it didn't prevent me from buying), but it happenned. Maybe Mr. Woo is a little too busy sometimes - that's allright.

My experience is completely different, I find the SR-009 almost perfect in terms of comfort, with the SR-007 pretty far behind. Weight is not an issue for me, it's just grip and ear contact, there's almost none on the 009 and quite a lot on the 007. Just curious, are you talking about the Mk1 or Mk2 and which pads are you using?
