SEN HE60'S NEEDS ADAPTOR FOR STAX AMP - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

I will pay someone that can make me a cable adaptor for my Sen HE60's to plug in to my Stax Amps. Thanks Carl cff1998@aol.com

On the bottom of the Headphones & Portable Cables page.

Oksi - the HE90 and HE60 connectors are different. I only see the HE90 adaptors at moon audio and never heard of a he60 offering from them.

Go Bears.

canman posted a pic of the adapter towards the bottom of the page. Eric did a great job but it is quite expensive. I still haven't picked up a stax amp but will probably splurge for one for my b-day/xmas

Thank you too everyone. This has been big help. Carl

The HE60 jack group buy is still on. I'll probably do it either at the end of the month or in mid-October, depending on my workload.

Commercial entities that want to sell adapter cables can contact me if they want to buy a bunch. Not only am I doing these pretty much at cost, but there's no way I'll have time to fabricate full-on adapters. Open box, pack, and ship is as far as I'm going to be able to go on this one. As it is, making the cables is absolutely trivial, given a fine-tip soldering iron and a DMM.

Unless a lot more HE60 owners pop up after the group buy, this will probably be the last chance to get the jacks.

THANKS TO ERIC I WAS ABLE TO MAKE UP A JUMPER TO RUN THE HE60 WITH MY STAX AMP. VIERY NICE.

Eric - Are these HE60 adapters that plug into Stax chassis connectors; i.e., that fit between a Stax chassis connector and the HE60 plug? Or, are these actual HE60 chassis connectors that can be installed into the chassis of newly fabricated electrostatic headphone amps?

No and Yes.

The group buy will be for two different parts:

a) A cable-mount HE60 jack that will enable you to make an HE60 -> Stax adapter cable, using a Stax extension cord.

b) A panel-mount HE60 jack that can be incorporated in to or retrofitted on to an electrostatic headphone amplifier, so that you don't need to use an adapter.

At this point, I have no plans for an integral HE60 -> Stax adapter part; the engineering isn't something I want to deal with at this point.
