OK. It looks like a headphone and small form factor amp.

Anything to say about this combo, or are you just posting pretty pictures?

The artwork is nice, but I don't think the artist would have gotten full benefit of said headphones/amp.

Of course.Portable electrostatic amplifier $400 Electrostatic headphones $260

Sounds between stax007 and 009

out of interest i bought 2 pairs of similar headphones in 2024
i wouldn't call them competitors of 007 or 009
still - this is headphones for $260 should compete in sound with something that costs $260.

i sold one pair to Spritzer - I think he bought them out of interest
i listened to the second set for a long time, until i bought es lab es1a and es2a and 007s and etc

as for amplifiers
on the 30th i will have the opportunity to compare the new "PES-A2" with 717 and other amps
the last one "PES-A1"seemed to be close in circuit design to (but that's not certain)

Yup, this is nowhere close to the 007 or 009... it's fun novelty but not much more than that.  I also have a few sets of drivers that I've only tested but never put into anything.
