Well, I'm done with the Shang. Listened to my last album. It was a good ride. Sad to see them go. Estats just aren't for me

Now time to maximize my planar/dynamic chain. Once I sell my 3ES elite, I'll have some money to play around with, so we shall see. Still, I may just keep my current chain. I'm buying the motherfukcing Valkyria though...lol

Have you tried the ES-1a?
It's the only estat I'll be keeping. For a reason...

No I haven't yet, but I remember you mentioning that you really liked them. If I ever get back into estats, I'll try them out. I probably should have bought them before I exited estats, but alas.

I do not see the Hifiman Shangri-la anymore on Hifiman's Web site !? Only the Junior version is listed ! Is it discontinued ?

thanks, but the $50.000 product is the combo Headphone + AMP.

Since I am on the waiting list to upgrade my BHSE for Grand Cayman, I am considering getting the Hifiman Shangri-la "headphone only" or ... a Stax X9000.

The headphone only has never been listed on its own on their website, or even on their website storefront. You can still purchase the headphone on its own, as before. Through dealers seems to be the usual, as they don't sell many of them I would guess.
