SPL Auditor or Musical Fidelity M1HPA for T1?
Coming to the thread a bit late, but to address your original question I have owned both the SPL Auditor and the M1HPA and used them both with Tesla T1 headphones. My preference was definitely for the Musical Fidelity amp. The Auditor is a fine piece of equipment, but it just didn't sound...- cascode

Are Stax valve amplifiers self-biasing, or is occasional adjustment required? (and when replacing valves). If so, is it an easy procedure - I've had valve speaker amps in the past that were tedious to bias.- cascode

Quote: Thanks for posting the photo - that makes it very clear. It's actually easier than I'd imagined - and easy to remove, so worth the experiment regardless. Is this mod particularly recommended when the amp is used with SR-007 headphones? Most of the posts I've read have been...- cascode

Scanning through the posts here I've come across mention of a recommended mod to the SRM-727 amp. I believe it is a change in 4 resistors, so I guess they are near the output and would be altering the bass rolloff. Anyway, I can't find a specific post with instructions or description...- cascode

I've just placed an order with PriceJapan for the SR-507 headphones, so now I have to wait impatiently . I'm still uncertain about the amp, but there is a hi-fi club in Sydney so I'll go along to their next meeting and see if any of the guys (funny how audio is such a guy thing, isn't it?) also...- cascode

Quote: One of the thing that most impressed me with Stax is how relaxed and effortless the music is, regardless of scale or whether it is intimate jazz or powerful rock. A friend and I went over to the shop to have another listen two days after I first heard them (he was not familiar...- cascode

Quote: Nuance is nice, but finances rule Thanks for the comments - I had a good feeling about the 507 + 323 combo - good to hear a second opinion. I think so far that it is my preferred solution. It also has the bonus that as both the cans and amp are under $1k I don't have to...- cascode

Quote: Duly noted - I have a recently acquired Unison Research Unico Secondo hybrid amp for the speakers, which has a second set of dedicated speaker outputs for bi-amping, so an energiser is not out of the question. My main reason for preferring an amp for the headphones is...- cascode

I've been lurking here for a while, and have read the last 200 pages of postings in this forum, but I'd like some recent opinions on a couple of pieces of gear. After using a number of different dynamic headphones (I'm familiar with Alessandro MS-Pro, AKG 701, Sennheiser HD-650, Audez'e...- cascode
