dear edstrelow, you have changed my audiophile life and i am glad to be useful... By the way you are right that it is not all that like to discover that an obsolete stax can compete with a higher stax or other high end headphone... some are a little rude about that news...But even if my Stax SR-5 is no competition with some over one thousand dollars headphone , (i have no comparison of my own in my experience), the sound of the SR-5 + sorb. is truly near a natural rendering of the instrumental musical timbre, and this is the MOST important feature in the qualities set of an headphone for me ...
By the way i sorb. not only my plastic power strip but also my dac and amplifier, plus the energizer, each made an audible difference of his own, but the 4 mod in unisson made the sr-5 sing...
Certainly no dispute about damping amps and the like. The audio shops have been selling sorbothane footers for this purpose for years although I personally find that small bits of self stick sorb are more effective and cheaper.
