So Currawong, what makes you put the 009 on the list, and include the LCD-2 and HD800 but not the 007?

The only time I had the 007s here for any period of time was with the 007t amp, which isn't a good match. At the time what struck me about the O2s was the detail retrieval. With the 4070s I happened to be listening to Jeff Buckley and it moved me to tears, which is rare.

Very likely my feelings had much to do with system synergy and what I was listening to at the time that my impressions were so notable. I don't doubt that it's possible to set up a bunch of different headphone and equipment combinations that would make vocals glorious. Various Audio Technica cans seem to be good at that, for example.

making slight change here.

1. AKG 240DF/ Sextetts LP

2. Stax/SA5000

3. ?

4. ?

5. ?

reason for the change is cause after months of not use and stored away in it's original box in a dresser drawer i decided to take it out and hook it up directly to outputs of my H/K 770 dual-mono power amp,fired up and was like '', wtf? i don't remember these sounding this good''. even after all this time the sextetts still manages to floor me with their midrange tonality.

Maybe I'll have to check out a pair of these then.  I don't know much about all the different versions though.  Which one do you have and/or which one should I look for.

i have the LP's. not sure what driver though but since it's lp model i do not have the sextetts with the ''reflective'' dome cause they're 2 different sextett drivers. the older models(EP,MP) usually had the reflective dome driver while the LP models didn't. only way to know is take the protective casing off which i am seriously edgy to do since these are my only pairs. only thing i did was recabled mine balanced(4-pin xlr) and replaced the rotted foam with some well measured out rolls of R-19 fiberglass i made.
