Dont worry about it, just go in and test. They are friendly folks... once you put on the headphone, the sales cannot disturb you I did not purchase the Stax, instead i channel the 6k over to a hifi setup. Once you get into hifi, it is hard to go back to head-fi.

Yes, it is pricey. Was quoted around S$6200 for the combo (SR007 mk2 + SRM727ii). But the attack is damn fast, listen to rock music is damn shiok. I think it is hard to imagine. just go and try and get an idea. Ya, i think they also have 507 for testing if i remember correctly.. SR007 is just right next to it, so... high chance u will test it Have fun!

I tried Stax SR-007 MK2 at Music By Design and was very very impressed with STAX technology. Tested with Michael Jackson's Dangerous album. Do give it a try. IMO, I think Dynamics and planar headphones no fight.

I agree that LCD-2 is really heavy. Nonetheless, the sound is very good... just need to compromise abit by giving up abit on comfort. If you have a deep pocket, try STAX.. very light, very comfortable and the sound is amazing. IMO, no dynamic headphone is able to match.

anyone know if David is selling the LCD-2 with the latest cable? (ADZ-5) and the option to change to the plastic travelling case?

how is the player sounding for you now? *curious*

yup. I got my HD650 at $600. With the DIY cable costing around $150, yes, it is roughly 25% the cost of my headphone. But IMO, that can really give you some huge improvement over stock cable. I waited for a year before I decided to go for cable upgrade. Not a easy choice because I was not a cable believer in the past. The next upgrade (HD800) is abit too 'far' for me currently - CK Tangs is selling at S$2.2k

You should try Blue Dragon. Much much better than the stock. I managed to get my friend to DIY for me. Total cost only about $150 which is half the cost if you compare to those ready-made from Drew (Moon-Audio). The improvement is huge from Stock! =)

I thought Sim Lim Square is chop carrot one? Can buy things from there meh?
