First post here!   I'm currently looking to buy a decent portable rig.   So far I'm pretty sure I'll get the Stax SR-001MK2 iems. They're within budget and the reviews I've seen here, sound promising. I'm not really interested in anything else than iems as I don't like wearing headphones...

Anyone? 1. If so, was it worth it?   2. Did it isolate better?

Found them with the amp for 50 bucks.   What model are they and I'm guessing that 50 bucks is worth it but does anyone wanna confirm that?

Can anyone point me in the right direction or send me a link to an owners manual. Thanks

News from Headfonia with very little precision.     Quote:   I hope it's a real one, anyway the headphones look really better than the old Omega 2 IMHO.

Hello,   I sold all my portables and desktop rig to quit this hobby..but just became helpless. I would like to try STAX this time and I'm in S.Korea right now so my options are quite limited when it comes to purchasing (worried about tax and all). I found someone selling Stax Airbow SR...

I have been using a pair of Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro headphones for the last 6 months or so and have become increasingly unhappy with the performance of them.   I have been reading about STAX headphones for some time but was unable to demo any as there are no dealers near me. Anyway I took...

Hi,   Just received a D.O.A SRM-252A -- suspect it may be a fuse but having some difficulty getting into the case to check this out. Have removed the obvious screws and the volume knob but nothing's moving and not sure how to proceed next. Grateful for any advice from chartered Stax Mafia...

This is for the Stax SR-5 Series but I was wondering if anyone knows if it would work with the 404 as well or if there's something sonically/electrically mismatched to the Lambda series. Anyone have a clue?

Hello all, I just joined and this is post #1. There is a lot of debate here between these two..."tastes great, less filling" sort of thing. After reading it all it's still not clear so I thought I'd ask the question.... I'm making the plunge into a headphone setup and have a chance to buy...

I would currently like to upgrade from my HD 600's and was wondering which ones you would all recommend.   Should I get the HD 800's or the Stax classic system. I know they are very different technologies but they are similar in price. I haven't listened to either of them but is the price of...

Hi, So I've checked out Stax prices in Canada, and I know you can get them cheaper shipped from Japan (i.e. Seyo-Shop, PriceJapan, EIFL, etc...) but I'm actually heading over to Japan in a little over a week.  Does anyone know if the domestic prices in Japan are even better than from the...

I've listened to a pair of SR-202's and loved them, but didn't have the 303 or 404 to compare to (but I'm already stretching my budget just to get the 202's).   Anyway, just saw the ads for the new SR-207's.  Anyone heard them and could you comment on how they sound compared to the 202's...

Anyone have these on order yet?   Twice the price of the 404's, sounds like the class margin of diminishing returns - double the investment for a smallish return.   On the other hand I had a friend 30 years ago who paid $800 for a pair of Stax Lambda's and he certainly got his money's...

Hi guys,   Just wondering about the difference in sound quality between these 2 headphones. Price isn't too much of a decider here, have been saving for a 'proper' hifi for a while, but now considering headphones as a possible alternative. I understand I will be more limited in my choice of...

Hi all, I am wondering if someone can give me the most basic instructions possible regarding how decipher matching an amp to headphones and vice versa in other words, various headphones are rated in things like ohms, resistance, milevolts or mileamps or milewatts.. (clearly i dont know what...

Hey Guys, where can I find a pair of Stax SR 404 Limited for sale through a retailer? Need to help a buddy out.   Thanks,   Gil

http://cgi.ebay.com/Stax-SRD-4-Headp...QQcmdZViewItem I don't know much about these but they are at like $42 on Ebay thought id share.

I just got my used pair of Stax Lambda Nova Basic. I`m really excited, but I still havent used them because I`m away from home.   They seem like in very good condition from what I can tell, but the only thing thats wrong with them ( aesthetically) is that the foam on the inside of the...

I'm interested in switching over to the electrostatic side of things. But I dont know too much about that area. I've been researching as much as I can but there is so much information and terminology and model variations that its throwing me off from becoming informed.   I currently own...

I have been using a Wadia Ipod Dock with a Peachtree Decco Intergrated Amp/DAC.  The Decco has many digital/analog inputs and analog speaker outs.  This has been sufficient until today when someone gave me a pristine set of: Stax SR-Omega and two black boxes:  ED-1 Monitor (Lamda) and a Tube...

One channel has gone out on my STAX SRX phones or the SRD-6S/B power unit.  Does it make economic sense to try to repair it or should I be looking for a replacement?

have read all the post about Stax for a long time and wait for a lower end system I can afford for months on the forum, still did not score one. The junior stax dudes, you know it is time to upgrade, and send out what left. hehe.  

This poll is reserved only to SR-007 owners who have heard both and have had the time to compare them Correction: the poll is for the MK1 vs Mk2 I am relatively new to the Stax world and have been captivated by electrostatics. I am not really interested on any dynamic cans at this pont. I...

Hello, I'm new to this site so Hi!!!!!! I'm saving up for a nice Stax Earspeaker system, either the Stax SRS 3050 II or the Stax SRS 4040 Signature II system. I wonder how these Electrostatic headphones sound like? Please share your views. As I am very interested. I have never had a...
