Anyone compared a KGSSHV with a KGSSHV Carbon?


Hej

I will probably buy Stax SR-007 Mk2, but I´m still not sure which amp to buy. I'm quite sure it will be a Mjölnir Audio amp  but I don't know which. I had my mind set on an amp with tubes and the only Mjölnir Audio amp with tubes, KGST, uses 6S4A tubes. The problem is that there are not many different 6S4A tubes to find. So, anyone compared a KGSSHV with a KGSSHV Carbon?

Everyone says that the Carbon is the one for 007 Mk2. But it's also twice the price of KGSSHV. So, is it really worth it? 
My "primary" DAC is a LAB 12 DAC1SE which uses a E88CC tube, so if I buy KGSSHV I have the oppertunity to tweak the sound a little by rolling that tube.  
It's really a hard choise, especially when you don't have the possibility to listen to the amps before buying.
Anyway, I really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

The Carbon is more dynamic, more detailed. Notably larger soundstage and better bass impact (and these are the Carbon’s particular strengths vs. other high-end electrostatic amps like the BHSE). The 007 is a notoriously difficult headphone to drive well enough to "max out", so the difference is quite audible. You won’t bridge this kind of gap with any amount of tube-rolling.

Now is it worth it? That’s the tough part of this hobby. What qualifies as diminishing returns for one person will be the eye-popping improvement than puts someone else into the music. And the KGSShv is a quite excellent amp, no doubt. For me, this upgrade would be worth it. I think "source first" for traditional systems shifts more towards "amp first" (but source still crucial) for Stax 007 and 009 headphones.
Carbon is said to sound close to triodes, so I meant if I use a DAC with a tube I could add a little tube "magic" to the sound. I didn't mean it would make the KGSSHV sound like a Carbon.
Maybe it will be a Carbon after all (when I have the money).
