Really? Oh well. We still have Andy, Birgir, and Elephas to give us impression of the SR009 on their BHSE/T2 rig.

CanJam@RMAF '11. Be there. You like speakers too, right?

Guess I was bang on the money WRT to the MSRP. I have already had a set reserved for me so I better get cracking on the T2.

As for the MSRP, there is virtually no inflation in Japan so prices remain pretty much static for years. The SR-Omega was 180KYen back in 1993 and the same can be said about the SR-007. It wasn't until the A was released that the price increased a bit. Now street prices are a different matter and since the SR-009 is likely to be in short supply for a while at least so prices should be close to the MSRP for a while at least.

Stax SR-009 pre-order price in Japan

Well it make sense and it has been awhile since his last headphones related purchase. Also, anyone with BHSE & T2 is the prime candidate to try out the 009.

I've got a BH (not SE) and a T2. Anyone want to buy me a pair of SR009's so I can tell you what they sound like?

We are hoping you will Here hoping the price of the OII will drop slightly with the SR009 craze!

Woo Audio has a thread on Head Fi about the SR009.

retail price $5250

<<cough!>>

I like the japanese pre-order price better. ~$4100

Yep. Japan here I come

I'm getting it, though probably not right away. Should have saved up for a bit instead of messing with this DSLR tomfoolery. Still 5D Mk2/24-105L is so nice.

in for 10

In Thailand they did make a group buy on it but it is unknown how much discount they managed to squeeze (but it was less than 4000$).

I'd be in for a group buy.

Heck, I'd be in for a group buy too. Plus it would help the confusion of having to buy something and importing it from Japan.

I'm #3

I'm scrambling to find dough to be in for a group buy.

Where are you no. 3, Andy? And who is no. 1?!

I want in on one of these, but I am not sure where/how. If anybody is able to school me I would appreciate it.

I guess since I said I would be in for a group buy I am #1?

I'm in the same boat as Voltron: need schooling.

Ehhhh, schooling is overrated I think what you really need is a good set of headphones.

I have no idea how to make sense of what you just said.

edit: nvm missed last page of new posts

But if it's doable and from a reputable dealer, why the hell not?

Yeah, but it is worth a shot and Birgir can confirm or deny. Looks like we have 4 here so far?

How do we find a dealer? Ooooh look at me driving up my post count, doh

I plan to buy Mike's used pair

Good luck with that.

If it's less than $4k I may be in too. I'll have to check and get back to you.
