Is the only visible difference between SR-007 Mk1 and Mk2's the color? (champagne -> mk1, black -> mk2)?

There are SR007MK1 with black pads and cable as well. Stax designates those as SR007BL.

This was of big help for me.

There are chassis differences between the mk1 and mk2 which change the sound for the worse moving forward, supposedly
 
I believe there were some bass ports added, as well as changing the parts that held the cable strain reliefs in place

Thanks!

 

[jjinh]

btw, there are also differences among all variants of the sr-007 mk1s!

Quite substantial differences as well.

Ecc99 vs 6cg7

Otherwise identical

 
Thanks!
Well, I am not too deeply into energisers/amplifiers and their ,,sound signatures" (if It can be said this way) but can you describe the difference between these 2 kind of tubes?

It

From the limited internal pictures I've seen it looks like a clone or the circuit is very similar to the one used in the ED-1.

It also has an so called binaural mode which bring's a better Out of Head Realism into The game

What are those differences?
 
Are you referring to this?: http://www.soundbsessive.com/room/?p=467

Spitzer, did you read my previous post? I am very interested in your opinion. Tks

Quite substantial differences as well. 

Was there a version before the one with the carbon fiber case and the weak strain relief?

 

[kevin gilmore]

Since mine are serial number 50 and have the carbon fiber case, I would say
Unlikely

I have received my new 323s today and now I am hearing it with my SR-202. My first impression is that the sound is a little muffled in the treble section if iompared to the 212. Do you think that a burn- in time is necessary? And, in that case, how many hours would be sufficient? The 202 is an old one and it is well burned-in.
