Careful, this is how rumors get started!  But it would be a great rumor, a DNA stat amp! 

Let's leave out the pink part.

Don't go there.  I've asked Donald for a non-smurf amp many times.  He called me a Communist and an evil-doer, I swear.  ;)   Maybe the blue color will go the way of Saab?  :&


Though according to Alex Cavalli and others, blue goes well w/ the 009.  :D

If it's brown, flush it.


Wait- I'd buy brown over blue...and then I'd have to find an HE-90 to go with it. 


I paid someone to say bad things about HE-90 to drive prices down.   :&

If you ever decide to design your own electrostatic amp (either for personal use or to sell commercially), the ESP950 is a no-brainer given the warranty policy.

Yes, I've read FrankCooter's adventures with the ESP950 and their generous warranty.

For my next project I want to build an all-out tube phono stage for personal use, which has been on my wish list for several years.

How do these compare to the more affordable Stax (SR-507 and below)?

Different. but they would stand up well... especially to the 507 which is not exactly a fan favorite among STAX fans...

Thanks. I'm pondering my first e-stat, and this looks like an outrageous deal.
