Swichting Stax-Output-Jacks? | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Hi there,

I was wondering if it's somehow possible to make the outputs of a stat-amp swichtable?

I'd need high-voltage-resistant and 5pole switches - (or multiple switches ...)

Any idea anybody?

Bad, bad idea.

Has been done on an amp, but fraught with danger if you have the switch on pro bias and plug in a normal bias phone.

The amp will only have pro-bias and pro-bias jacks.

So there's no danger from that side.

Do you know some appropriate switches?

Some of the Stax amps have a relay on the output (as it is servo controlled) and it is a 4PDT Omron model. Not really rated to handle the full fury of these amps so I would recommend 2kV+ reed relays instead.
