They are shown as B stock... not sure if that means much for these or not?
Yeah only the 009 is B-stock it seems. Even if it was it would be killer price compared to what my dealer sells, take a look and run: Price Table
At this prices I'm tempted to just get the 007. What would be a good enough cheap amp just to get by while I get myself an kgsshv built?

Only partially. If it was a 'full-on' ad, it would be the usual, 'best I've heard, worth every penny, you must upgrade now' rather than 'I think I prefer the SR-007 Mk2 now'.
Speaking of which, in this shop, both the SR-007 Mk2 and the stock SRM-727II (as well as the SR-L700) are available at a significant discont (weirdly, the set price is not discounted), although I don't have any experience with them but these are a lot better than the usual EU prices.
Is this shop legit? Their prices are almost used price.

After some absence from the game went to stax dealer to listen to the new lambdas and I must say I really enjoyed the L-500 sound, not bright as fuck as the 507(didn't have the L-700). I had the 007 mk1 which I though was too dark but the 007mk2 sn/Z3 on the dealer just sounded pretty spot on. Maybe I'm just aging to prefer this sound and my mind is playing tricks.
Is the L-700 the lambda do get or older versions are still better?

For me the 009S is a clear upgrade as it fixes the skewed tonal balance of the original but it's not perfect. While they fixed that skew it exposes the other issues the 009's had, most prominent the bass suckout and limited bloom.
Still find the 007 the superior one?

All of the Lambda's are reasonably close in performance but I feel the L700 is better but I'd have to compare them all side by side and play with the earpads too to get a proper picture of it all. Just don't have the time for that now.
Did you have the chance ?

Have any one compared the Denafrip Ares with one of the soekris Dacs? I'm tempted by the Ares, but the other being in Europe makes it easier with customs.

I believe he is referring to Tyll putting the Sonomas on his Wall of Fame.

People at Canjam NYC heard it already, including myself. I wanted to believe I was wrong that it sucks, but can confirm it is a fail and extremely uncomfortable on top of that. Why spend $5000 on a headphone setup that just sounds average and can't be used with anything else? They keep claiming that the HPEL driver is low cost and easy to match... if so, why are they charging $5000? It is good value when compared with the abomination that is the $50k Shangri La, but so is pretty much everything else on planet earth.
Average at 5k and still gets Wall of Fame ? thats weird.

Any one heard both the M1060 and the HE400s ? Currently have the 400s and it has a pleasent sound for general listening, thinking to exchange it for it.

Agreed. Might be in the minority here, but I've never heard a Grado headphone I've liked and I've heard damn near all of them.
Different strokes, I guess.
not even the hp1000? its my favorite for rock, all the others can't stand the brightness. Still he has a point, even though i like the retro style one also here could say it makes no sense that build quality for the price.

From our current understanding of the technology, HE400 is overall lacking details, HE6 is too bright in the high. Those problem can be clearly attributed to driver and diaphragm design.
We have to stop them, because some people like them doesn't means they are perfect and cannot be improved. I know if I do care about money, I should keep them available. But I do care more on improving planar technology.
There you have it. It's all about improving the technology.

So how would you describe the Elears sound ? the 1k mark for a hf could make it a excusable purchase.

We are not doing bad actually. I think all we need is to loose to the German by 1 goal and we should be into the final rounds.
You can even loose by 4 if portugal doesn't score to ghana. Portugal has -4 goals.
-
USA can loose the game with germany and you will still pass.
-
Portugal is playing so poorly it hurts..
Also its not normal the number of injuries in just 2 games.... Something is going on..
Well, congratulations to the USA, they surprised every one with some nice football.
Atleast he did some eye candy:

Huff..

Portugal is waking up.. I'm feeling it.

With the kgss I liked it more than the 007 and 507. But yes they lacked the detail level of the 007 but somehow they were most fun to listen to all different types of music and smooth like a baby ass.

I think they are bros from another mother.

People have to talk about something right ? Can't be kardashians all the time.

The guy supposedly was testing his new car, looking at the crash picture no way they were going at a safe speed. Had been a Tesla .. no smoky fire?.

A local came up with a magni/modi at good price so I just snatched and gave it a try.
I'm really surprised, this small amp sounds great with the hp2(the >900€ burson soloist sounded less dynamic aka worse), but of course coming from the Nad M51 the modi sounds a bit plain, specially on drums can sound a bit washed.
Nevertheless highly enjoyable, will try next with a picoDac.

Funny story. Some time ago supersonido had this Rega speakers like half of the price of the Portuguese dealer so I just inquired him if he could do same price as I would prefer to buy from him. His solution ? Call the brand and make threats. Rapidly the prices went back to normal.
Could see same happening if we just showed these to our Stax dealers.
