This is supposed to be better than the 727

Stax SRM717 Solid State Headphone Amp Full Range Driver - eBay (item 120221838923 end time Feb-19-08 18:32:04 PST)

$611 was what a mint SRM-1 Mk2 Pro with decent SR-Lambda Signature pulled in on eBay. That is about $150 less than what mine cost me. If the amp is worth $400-500, he paid $100-200 for the SR-Lambda Pro - not bad.

That is not a bad price at all. I found my mint SRM-1 Mk2 Pro for $280 plus shipping, now that was a nice price

Sorry, I just got these and wasn't planning on selling them any time soon.

Hah! See, I told yah they were worth keeping, and I warned you everyone would offer to buy them

You won't get a SRM-717 for $500.

Do you own a decent speaker amp?
If so driving the Omega II by a speaker amp/Stax transformer combo (SRD-7 Pro or SRD 7 Mk II) is at least as good as cheaper used Stax amps and you can easily sell the SRD afterwards without a significant loss.The SRDs aren't as cheap as they used to be anymore but still cheaper as an amp.
The going rate for a Pro SRD in good condition is ~$200.

Unfortunately no The SRD7 does seem like a cost/performance efficient option.

Thanks for the eBay links, HeadphoneAddict. I'll keep an eye out for those. In the end, I may have to shell out a bit more for one of the Stax amps.

How about this one? Adequate to use with the O2II?

That is just a normal SRM-1 mk2 for the most part so while ok to use with the SR-007 it isn't great.

Sorry to go OT - I know I don't post here, but I do follow the discussion.

374 pages... I think it may be time to start a The Stax Thread Pt. III

Do you mean that the winning price will be far higher... or do you see a problem with this item?

I believe he means the former as the 717 retails for well over $1k.

Ok, that was what I thought... shhhh, noone bid, allright?

I wouldn't count on that
