When I was thinking of purchasing an older prototype of these, Fang's vendor was still working on fabricating the Stax plug. It was taking a lot of tries to get it right. I guess it's a lot cheaper to diy it than to outsource from Stax.

I imagine the thought behind the XLR plug is that it's cheaper to make different adapters to work with any electrostatic amp, including those with only HE90 plugs like the original Orpheus amp.
