It's for this reason that I am afraid of the implications of Saturday's meet. Something might happen when I hear the 009. Right now, I can only justify my system to myself. Hearing is believing.... or maybe not. So much love for the TH900 recently by so many respected people, I am not sure it will be so one-sided, but it could be. Some with Stax rigs are saying that they totally get the TH900 as being an end-game system... we shall see. I am thinking it will be a battle for me as I love lots of quality bass. The TH900 has great bass, the 009 even better, but less of it... Maybe the 009 will be so great it won't matter.
I can be curious about something and resist just fine at this level. I haven't been able to get myself to buy blind at 2k+, but as soon as I heard it. Done. Over. Had to have it.
Similar situation with my source at this point. Heard a better one, now have to have it (well, something better).
Having owned a setup almost exactly like the one you have now (Audeze can, HD800, LF, ~2k DAC) I can tell you you're in for a treat when you finally hear the 009. To me it was a significant step up from an already fantastic system.
