I demoed sr009 once before in my local store. It was my first experience with estat headphone. When I listen to it, I thought it sounded like a planar headphone somehow. Good separation, soundstage, imaging and details, like a good planar headphone at that similar price range. The tuning of sr009 is surprising neutral when I listen to it, given the frequency response graph from crinacle that looks quite wonky.

So, I'm kinda disappointed tbh, maybe I was expecting too much, like next level details from a flagship estat. Sr009 is still a great headphone, but since it cost more than other option like lcd-5 and susvara (usually on sale), I don't see that flagahip estat like sr009 is in my radar for endgame headphone.

Or Linkin Park. "isolation", "defeat" and "escape" are reappearing themes in their old songs.

But, yes, it's not something that is new, but, listening to music for long periods could be other things, like Autism. Someone who is Autistic can listen to a song on loop for weeks as a way to soothe or block out painful noise.

True! Surprisingly, the estat used prices look like a steal. Only downside for me is the need for energizers. Otherwise, would have given the Shangri la Jr and the Stax 007s and 009s a shot.

Thanks for sharing! Yeah, right now my plans are for experimenting with tubes but I know that if I find one that I like I will stick to it.

I am giving a try for all PSVanes 6SN7 flavors, UK, GT, SE, etc.
