The Stax thread - Page 67  

Perhaps not at Audiocubes but I did purchase one from Yama's a few months ago for about $65.00 USD.

Happy Listening!

Nothing platic surgery can't fix

Spend ~$10000 on cosmetic surgery + ~$10000 on maxed ES1 + $125 on 003 = bliss

Might as well pay another 10k to have the retrofitted/hardwired into you.

With some "luck" I'm adding reply no 999


(well, as an Omega 2 & 4070 + 007T-2 owner I may "qualify" for this ??

Amazing gear! You have to post pictures!

Milkpowder,

theres nothing special to show, just an ordinary O2 with black leather ear covers and an 4070
... a.. yes, the 007-T-2 is also black. ( I guess, that's why the O2 appearently is black, as I bought it a set - my previous O2 was brown)

(The SOUND, however, I can assure you, is as colourful as it has to be )

Sorry I haven't got a Digicamera

Carl,

No, I never used an ss amp with the "higher" Staxes.
It's about 7 or 8 years since a sold my ss Stax system (can't recall the type)

As I judge it, the 4070 matches well with the 007T2; for my ears, the O2 is somewhat warmer, silkier in sound than the 4070 .
I DO prefer the O2 sound, but the singular reason to have the 4070 as well was the better sound insulation
Also -from hearsay - the tube amps reportedly are "warmer" than the ss amps.
From this I would conculde, that the 4070 would rather enforce this tendency of "more brilliant" (as not to say "sharpness") so for me this combination is optimal.

Urs

BTW: I'm an analoge & tube supporter, even though most of my (NAIM) system is ordinary ss

but the singular reason to have the 4070 as well was the better sound insulation - actually I correct my earlier statements, that the ATH L-3000 would isolate MUCH better - it is somewhat better, but not enough to sacrifice the quality of sound. Meaning IMHO the L-3000 has no chance against the 4070 or of course the O2
