i Have STAX amp ?

If the tubes fail maybe some components will be stressed. You can burn your house down too.Just...- green0153

Some Lambdas whatever you find on ebay or here and eXSata DIY amp. This setup will sound really good with a decent source. You will spend on the amp the price of a cheap Stax amp but have a much better bang for the buck.- green0153
