The Stax thread (New) - Page 500

No one did this to their LNS? Also does anyone know what is the membrane thickness for LNS is it 1.5um or 1.35um?

No, more like anti-matter from Star Trek

These are fantastic interconnects. I wouldn't know about speaker cables because I still use 18g lamp cord for that.

I second that.

Terry Cain and I came across the anti cable a few years ago.

It really does not take much to simply do the trick, folks...often times the complicated designs just muck things up. Want proof? Open up some amplifiers, or better yet, transformers. What is in there? Also, look at the binding posts on oscilloscopes...

As always, YMMV, these are just humble opinions.

A good speaker cable design was circulating around TNT audio a few years back. It was cross connected coax cable. Called the u-byte or something like that.

No FAQ.
But the Stax website and/or "Stax Earspeakers" on Wikipedia may answer your questions. That said there are no stupid questions...

Just an FYI in case someone wants to help. I am trying to put together a wiki with basic and detailed info about various headphones, Stax will be one of the big categories. Main Page - Wikiphonia. The purpose of this page is to categorize and organize the knowledge in easy to access form.

I think the Stax Mafia should present anyone who reads the entirety of this thread with a free SR-007 Mk2.

Calling Caporegime edstrelow, Caporegime Faust2D, Consigliere audiod, Underboss krmathis, Don Spritzer?

American Mafia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ha ha ha, never thought I of myself as part of the Stax mafia

Thanks...but I must refuse such a kind gift, as I have a SR 007 already and I like to hear the fart

Yeah but then they would OWN you and if you bought dynamic headphones you'd wake up with a horses head wearing bose headphones next to you - Terrifiying!

So let's begin with those stupid questions

What can I expect going from a Denon D2000 to a Stax SR-303? Less bass I guess, but a significant improvement somewhere else?

Would SR-303 be enough to experience a significant improvement?

Would SRM-313 or SRM-323 be the way to go? Is there an audible difference between both?

Would it be wise to put a little more on the headphone or the amplifier?

If I put more on the amplifier, could I use it also with my D2000, with some kind of adapter?

I assume it would be difficult to do it the other way around... Using the SR-303 with a good standard amplifier... Cause I can't find SRDs with pro bias at a reasonable price...

There's also the Koss ESP-950, but that would be for another thread I guess...

Thanks all

Just read this one,

Understand there is not much difference between 202/303/404.

Understand difference would come from the amplifier.

BTW, I'm not looking for tubes... Maybe a mistake... If I ever decide for tubes, I would prefer to do it with a tube buffer, for my whole system...

The 303 is a damn fine headphone. If bought directly from Japan, it is an incredible value. ~$350 (or less on ebay) for it is just phenomenal in my opinion.

Thanks and what about the SRM-323 ?

BTW, does DLIII stands for DIYEDEN LILO III ?

I think that's a fair statement. And while the bass might be less, you may like it better,

IMO, without a doubt.

Is break-in an issue w/ Stax cans or is it typically limited to dynamics? IF it is an issue, to what extent? I have 150+ hrs on SR-303/SRM-323II rig and I think SQ has been fairly consistent out of the box, however, I was listening to a little John Lee Hooker earlier this evening (the AcousTech Fantasy 45 "That's My Story" disk) and I swear to Buddha for several minutes there I was right in the studio with The Hook - I could practically see the spit hit the mic. So I thought I'd ask.
