There are plenty of amps that are "lacking" in this regard.  One example would be the Bryston headphone amp which takes both the XLR and RCA sockets into the same circuit where the input is summed for XLR, fed into a normal stereo...

Electrostatics have next to no excursion, that's why they are so good as a driver principle.  Less movement equals a more linear transducer.  For Stax Pro bias the distance from diaphragm to stator is just 500um/0.5mm and the...

If people are comparing old T1's to the new amps without changing the caps, tubes and bias then the comparison in utterly worthless.    Quote: Originally Posted by milosz  I'm trying to track down a...

The weight is the same issue here as when Stax used the Lambda headband with the SR-Omega.  They broke quite frequently but I haven't heard of any failures with the 009 though.

The SR-507/009 headband is a bit of a clusterf***.  Same basic design idea as the original SR-Sigma arc but it's over simplified.  All the old Stax arcs use two pieces of plastic to take the weight on each side.  Here on...
