Congrats on the new acquisitions :) And didn't realize you weren't that* far away from where I am. Will have to try to make a mini-meet in the future :)

Thoughts on the x9000 vs. Sr., would be interesting, as they end up being a really good comparison. Also interested in your thoughts on the Sr.'s bass given your newish pads and how I found them different than my old/worn pads (the ones you heard mine with). Really looking forward to your thoughts on the T2 and BHSE as well. Looking forward to it!

Curious about any info anyone has on the Warwick Aperio

Following. Very interested in your conclusions. Totally agree the Warwick Aperio would be a great addition if it's possible to get your hands on one. The Warwick Aperio vs T2>Shang Sr matchup is top of mind for me.

Would be great to include the Perun Rock electrostatic headphones in the comparisons
If no one else posts impressions, I'll try to post some of the Live Sound and latest version Rock when I receive them.

Would be great to see the Dan Clark Corina thrown into the mix, also a transformer setup such as Lundahls would be great if anyone had them available for you to use...

Any update on the progress of this? :eyes:

I'm curious if anything ever came out of this.
Trying to decide if the X9000 is something I need to delve into, or if I am going to sit back for a bit.
