New "Electrostatic" on the block THE SONOMA MODEL ONE ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONE SYSTEM

I believe Sony also said the color of their cables made a difference in sound....

I converted my Sony ECR500 and Koss ESPs as soon as I got them, so don't know what they are like driven single-ended

Sony were nuts with all kinds of fringe pseudo science shit.  Semi-conductive stator frames, odd cable dielectric, pentagonal diaphragms and crap like that.  The ECR-600 I had was 100% push pull though, it was just electret with super high ratio for some unknown reason. 

As for a discussion between arnaud, Jazz and astroglide.. wouldn't see that one as the latter two fucktards are firmly on my ignore list.  Reflections are far more likely from the headphone structure as the D/S gap is so small that there can't be any meaningful reflections.

(snip) That entire conversation between him, JaZZ and astrostar59 is interesting, and somewhat relevant to this headphone.(snip)
