    Did Sennheiser just reveal the Orpheus successor?

    The minimum standard for bad humor should be that it is at least funny to most people. One crowd could read the post and take unintentional offense with race genocide etc etc but is their anyone that will say that was a funny post?

    Did Sennheiser just reveal the Orpheus successor?

    Can't understand why this thread keeps going on and on about the price. Hopefully in a couple years they come out with a plainer less expensive audiophile version. Do you really want a marble amp with motorized tubes and knobs? Probably has a remote. Finally a headphone for the people that run...

    Did Sennheiser just reveal the Orpheus successor?

    Hope they will sell the headphones solo. The headphones look good but the amp looks hideous but even the original looked gaudy but that was a high end style in amps at the time.

    Stax T1 repair, resister identification.

    I bought a Stax T1 recently. Left channel has 3 or 4 burnt resisters. I think they are called mini carbon chip resisters. I haven't been able to figure out the wattage or the values so far. The value bands spiral around and can't find info on how to read that. I will post pics below of the...

    The Stax Thread III

    Sure the 009's treble isn't mellowing out on its own with age?

    Quad ESL57 frustrations.

    10 days now and he still hasn't put up his own pictures. I hope it is not a scam. I cant translate enough to make an account to email the guy.

    10th Calgary Head-Fi meeting June 29th 2014 Sunday at University of Calgary

    I can bring Stax 009's, Headamp KGSS and a Nad M51 dac. For anyone not familiar with Stax they often make a crinkle sound when putting them on or off that is normal for Stax. Looking forward to hearing Hd800's again and a few others. If anyone is interested I have a pair of Westone w4r's that I...

    The Stax Thread III

    Hi jaycalgary You heard any None Oversampling DACs? I find they sound much better than Delta-Sigma DACs including most higher resolution files. It might be worth looking at that. My front end changed a lot (for the better) after I abandoned the over sampling hype / Bull. Let your ears do the...

    The Stax Thread III

    My Headamp KGSS easily outshines my 717 especially with the 009's. Wish it was closer because it would be so much easier to travel with the 717.

    Stax SR Sigma Question

    I read on here before from one of the top stax guys that they soaked mineral wool in alcohol or water I forget to get the junk out of it. Let it dry out then installed it. Sounded like a really good idea to me. I would still try the cotton balls once. It was quite a while ago but I thought I got...

    Stax SR Sigma Question

    I would just try a bag of cotton balls from the drug store. Kind of pull them apart a little bit and they mesh together nicely. I thought they made the sound good in past experiments and doesn't have the downside of other materials.
