I bought these puppies just before Christmas and they have been a revelation.
I can't tell you how much they suit my listening tastes. I love close listening with lots of treble and tight...
First of all let me say this is one of my favourite BA driver earphones I have ever heard.
That said, being a basshead, these didn't deliver in the bass department - I can't deny the fact...
I've had this card for quite a while now, and I have to say its a really nice card - a huge step-up to my on-board motherboard's audio.
At first I do have to admit, it didn't feel like the D1...
Long story short:
These earbuds, shouldn't ever be bought, when they come free in your iPod package, its fine to look at them, and try them on.
If you know someone wanting to buy these,...
I have spent the last hour looking for Spritzer's mod thread for the 007A / Mk II and cant find it anywhere. I know it exists as I have seen it but didn't bookmark it.
The SR-Ω and SR-007 designs are so completely different that it would be hard to pull off. A modded Mk2 is more forward then a Mk1 since Stax altered the drivers a bit but nothing like the SR-Ω. The chassis is also a large part of the Ω sound and that is rather different from the 007 design.
I have wondered this too. I think that the difference is in the stators, driver and earpad design. The chassis on the O2 seems superior in every way compared to the SR-Omega, from the arc assembly to the baffle. Has anyone completely swaped out the stator/drivers from the Omega into the O2 chassis? Although im not sure if thats possible.
The SR-Ω drivers will never fit in an SR-007 housing since they are 90mm across but it works the other way around. Stax even made sure that the 007 drivers were an easy drop in replacement even if they do take a bit of tweaking to get right.
