Well I would, but we are all different right? - I think Stax's sound like no other headphone (really). For me they are the very best you can get. You should have a listen. Don't be put off by the high voltages - they are VERY low current. To the best of my knowledge no-one has ever been injured by them (unlike valve amps). They are expensive... but so is Premier Grand Cru chablis :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
