You're welcome. By the way, I was just fixin' to go to bed - I really am trying to retire before sunrise more frequently. Anyway, I was wondering if Glenn ever thought about building an electrostatic amp for Stax cans.
Hmmm... if he were truly interested, I could fund his prototype.
He'll be waking up shortly...

I know you're getting ready for work - probably enjoying breakfast, Head-Fi and The New York Times... or USA Today, I don't judge. But, have you thought of building an electrostatic amp for Stax headphones? I was saying earlier that if you were, I'd fund your prototype.

No need for your silence. rosgr63 & Greece is full of LIFE.

I already have had people ask me for a Stax amp. The first person I sold a OTL to asked he went and bought a Stax setup and said the OTL and HD800s sound better.
The high B+ and B- and having it brought to your head scars me if there is a parts failure. I am thinking about it though. I really have to many amps to build
to have the time to design something new.

Since I have a Stax setup I did listened to several Stax tube amps at the RMAF. My own feeling is that I am using my Melos pre-amp to drive my remaining Stax headphone meaning I already have a tube front end for the Stax. I also think that the current good dynamic headphones of today can come close to the quality of my Stax. This year I purchase a new set of wonderful headphones that may be a contradiction to some but works for me. Once I find the time I write a review. I also attained a pair of Emotiva Airmotiv6 speaker monitors. These monitors’ uses a form of ribbon tweeters called folded AMT which is somewhat like the original Heil Air Motion Transformer. This in turn makes the treble very clear and detailed. It uses the principle of “squeezing the air” instead of “pushing” against the air.

I will be good.....
Well at least I will try to be good for a couple of hours......

Or is that way too long??????????
I am sure we'll find a couple of hours to have a look at some tubes and that will be it, no more.

Thanks for your insight. I'm looking forward to working with a rejuvenated MOT upon your return. My tea tins have been slowly filling and it's my responsibility to determine the best destination for this cash.

Hey, Ultrainferno--do you feel like visiting Greece in the future? 
Actually planning a trip to Cyprus. I'm sure I could jump over ;)
