RE: STAX or expensive Planar headphones. What have you heard?

I owned the Stax SR-009 and a Ray Samuels A-10 electrostatic vacuum tube headphone amp for over 5 years. I also heard the 009 out of the Headamp Blue Hawaii SE. IMO, the HiFiMan Susvara that I currently own driven by my Auris Nirvana vacuum tube headphone amp beats it for SQ. The SR-009 has a slight tendency to be lean and bright. The Susvara is a very fast sounding planar, with great resolution, soundstaging and musicality. I currently own the ZMF Verite Open, Verite Closed, Audeze LCD 4z, and Focal Utopia. I enjoy all of them more than the Stax. I sold the Stax about 2 years ago and I have no regrets.
