Congratulations Arild! 
Let us know when you have hooked it all up and listened to it for a while. I am quite sure you will be well pleased...

Thank you! First impression is very good! I will listen more seriously to it later today. I have spend some days reading the whole Stax thread (new), and now I`m into the old thread. There are a lot of good information here!

Yes, the stax model designations create a lot of confusion not only in this forum where people are pretty savy, but with their distributors as well.
Good news is that I have been listening to this SRM-007tA with my SR-404 and love the increased level of refinement over my SRM-006 MkII. So, I will be keeping the amp -- excuse me -- "driver unit" (must make sure to use STAX-speak!).  Not a lost weekend afterall!

One cool tidbit of information. I was digging through my old Stereophile mags reading Stax reviews and figured out that I own the SR-Omega that they used as a review sample.

Stereophile usually posts the serial numbers of the units under review.

Ah yes I remember know....It's been a LOOOOOONG time since I have subscribed to it. I may have to go digging and see if I have that issue. I quit subscribing around the time they went to the larger format.

The headstage is closed-in, the tonal balance is soft on top and some find them uncomfortable. I would try them before I would buy. I have a SR-003 and they can be a lot of fun, but I would not recommend as a entry into the Stax sound. IMO the SR-3 or 5 with a SRD-6 is a good start for the dollar (but remember you will need a loudspeaker amp to drive them).

What about this: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs...e-drop-361391/
At the moment, I only have a corda XXS as an amplifier.....
Would I be able to connect my iRiver H332 as an input?

A random question for Stax owners: anyone interested in picking up a pair of Lambda Nova Signatures or SR-006t?
I thought I would drop it before heading over to the "For Sale" section.
I'm trying to kill off the rest of my money in my bank account by trying to pick up a new laptop, so I made that grave decision that something else must part. But it's okay--SR-007a will be soon on the list of things to purchase. 
Anyone interested simply drop me a line!

It's the March 1995 issue with a Pass Aleph 0 on the front. The review is a great read as the SR-Ω is being compared to the He60/Hev70 system.

Cursed would be more like it, since the 007 drivers are in that set.

True! I though it were your SR-Omega pair with stock transducers...
