Electrostatic Headphone Energisers

I use a Stax L700 Ear Speakers with an 006T Stax Energiser. I'm very happy with it, in fact I think the L700 are astonishing, I won't be changing them.

 Just wondered about upgrading from the 006T and where to go, to get a real improvement. The obvious answer is the 007T of course and that's  a possibility. There are other choices too, Trilogy do an Electrostatic Headphone amp and there are the  units from Mjolnir Audio in Iceland. Any thoughts guys?

 I suspect any suggstions are going to be costly for me now I've retired, but I can always look out for second hand units.


  Thanks

McIntosh MHA-100...I've seen them as low as $2000.00...Add a pair of small monitors for the ultimate apartment/condo system...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think the Mcintosh only works with conventional dynamic, not electrostatic phones and I really wanted a headphone amp only, not with a DAC and multiple inputs.

@freediver the MHA100 is not an electrostatic energizer

To the question the OP asked I owned the 007t ii with SR-009 but was very disappointed with the performance of the energizer. I plonked down for a Blue Hawaii which is one great but expensive, and super slow delivery, way to go. No idea how the new Stax T8000 would compare as it was not out when I was in the market
