I appreciate the effort to document the mod process.
Now, if we have an updated tutorial on how to blutac mod the 007..

Your dac and amp.What needs to be updated?
?Your dac and amp.
Stax SR-007+ KG Carbon+ $1500 Dac = Gateway to heaven
thanks so much a very interesting mod worth trying, and what did change in sound when you updated your mod to this1.
2. One stick works for both cups, break stick in half:
3. Roll out a 1/2 stick to where it fits on inner channel like shown below:
4. Break segment off that is little less than 2 ribs of the channel. Will need to have it a little longer than the rib walls so it can seal against them.
5. Roll the piece broken off so it will attach to both ends of the original thicker segment that was rolled out:
6. Press it down and flatten to where it's sticking just above the channel by about a millimeter or so, and push the overhanging ends flush against the surface of the two ribs to seal. Make sure to keep the two rear peg hole clear of the putty:
7. Alternate view:
8. Press on pads at the corners, then work front to rear to press a finger inside pad on the plastic pad plate and press it hard into the cup/grille to seal pads to the housing. Keep working around the inside perimeter until you have it seated as far as it will go, then flatten the oozed seam against the inside perimeter wall with a finger. Hard to get a picture of this, but basically if you can see the putty below your finger will go above it and under the pad and firmly press down towards the outside...just take your time and use care as you go around the perimeter, no need to rush.
9. Repeat for other side to complete.... then you're finished.
Hi,
I have a question guys.
I have L700 and SR507 using with SRM300 and idsd micro black.
Recently I am about to change my ring with the followings:
Swap L700 + SR507 + cash(+/-?) for SR007 mk2,
Upgrading from SRM300 to KGSHHV,
Sidegrade/downgrade or upgrade from idsd micro black to Denafrips Ares for using XLR output with the new amp.
I listened to SR007mk2 with KGSHHV carbon and quite like it. My question is whether I am on the right path. Thanks in advance!
Thanks. Have you ever combined sr007 with another amp before?I think you wont much better than that TBH. Ive been listening to the SR007mk1 and the KGSSHV for over a month now, its bloody excellent. None of my my other gear now, gets any ear time
Yeah my old Srm252s, sounded way ok at low volumes but trouble came when its past 12, distortion city I tell ya. But I guess, we already know the 252s cant drive the hungry beast. Only did it cos it was the only Estat amp I had at the time while waiting for the KSSSHV to arriveThanks. Have you ever combined sr007 with another amp before?
Yes, that's a good path. The 007 and KGSShv (most variants) makes a very good pairing; much better than the older KGSS. It's just that the 007 with KGSShv Carbon is even better - and makes for one of the best setups you can put together short of a DIY T2 (with 007, 009). BTW, the KG amps like this don't care if you input a single-ended or balanced signal. It's the same sound quality either way - no penalty, which is certainly NOT the case with many other balanced amps. If your new KGSShv amp comes only with XLR inputs, you can use RCA female to XLR male adapters no problem (I use Cardas to satisfy my psychological need for fancy cables & connectors, but Neutrik work fine too). So choose your DAC based on sound quality and features, not single-ended vs. balanced.Hi,
