Any love for electrostatic headphones?

Some moons ago I applied and was accepted to take a part in review tour of Hifiman Jade 2 system
Those arrived today. If anyone is interested I published my initial thoughts on Jade 2 on head-fi but the thread itself has a lot of info about those as well if any one fancy a long read ;]

I have got a pair of old Audio Technica electrostatic cans, they don't get enough use but I remember them as being very neutral if a tad bass shy

I also had a set of Audio Technica ATH-7 electrostatics. Sound was very clear and I wore them to destruction.
Great headphones.

Are you going to bring them to Kegworth, Tomasz?

Hifiman stats?
Ah well, it shows how much I know [not a lot].
I thought Hifiman only made planar magnetics, a breed I have always found to be not to my taste.
I've had a few lower end Stax 'stats and enjoyed their rather undynamic transparency.
I currently have a pair of vintage Stax SR3 / SRD5 but I don't use them that much, and I have fitted very non-standard earpads, and when I do use them it's with a moderate amount of bass boost.
Which gives them a bit of needed heft.
Here's a stock pic ...
My main headphones, which I use daily, are PSB M4U1, which are ordinary dynamic type, but very good.

Hello.
Four and a half years.
My, my - how time flies when you're having fun.
I think my signature system info needs a little updating.
