    Stax SR-009 Channel Imbalance Trouble / Driver Problem?

    I just wanted to update this thread for completeness. I have been really busy moving but have been meaning to update this thread.  STAX finished the repair of my SR-009s in about 3 weeks. They said that there wasn't any problem over the phone (I can't read the repair paperwork as it is all in...

    Stax SR-009 Channel Imbalance Trouble / Driver Problem?

    Quote: Apologies, I just double checked and mine is 191x. I do not mean to worry you.   I started noticing it after approximately 1 week. It was quite obvious after adjusting the digital EQ on my PC. It would start after listening for about 10 minutes. Flipping the headphones backwards...

    Stax Interview and Factory tour 12/12/12

    I don't have anything to add that hasn't been said already but excellent work to all 3 of you. It's really interesting to see this side of such a legendary company. The article is definitely print-worthy.

    Stax SR-009 Channel Imbalance Trouble / Driver Problem?

    My serial is 190x as well. I dropped it off for repair last weekend.   I am really surprised that there is still a channel imbalance issue. I drove myself nearly crazy testing and retesting to find that indeed there was an imbalance issue present.   They said the replacement/repair unit...

    Stax SR-009 Channel Imbalance Trouble / Driver Problem?

    Has anyone else gotten this channel imbalance lately?   I purchased my pair approximately 2 weeks ago. I am getting the same issue described here. The R channel is about 25% softer than the L channel (I used the digital balance EQ on my PC). Even if I use the dual volume knob on the SRM-323S...

    Decibullz microwavable custom fit IED headphones at CES

    Quote: I wouldn't lose any sleep over what Gizmodo says about your product. The quality of their content has really taken a turn for the worst during the past 2-3 years or so. It is good to hear that you are going to target other IEMs for your product. I think your product does have a lot...

    Decibullz microwavable custom fit IED headphones at CES

    Thanks for taking the plunge for us posnera. When you were remolding did you put a spacer in your mouth? It's supposed to open up your ear canal a little bit and give you a better fit afterwards. I will likely try the same thing with my IEMs when I get back stateside.

    Stax factory tour and interview in Japan approved during my trip to Tokyo Japan December 6th to December 13th 2012.

    In this case I would preach patience and I believe it will be worth the wait. What Arnaud, Currawong and Scottsmrnyc will provide is insight into a company that is very highly, if not one of the most highly regarded for us. We are fortunate for them to be generous enough to share the thoughts...

    Comply foam tips?

    I just got a set today (T-400s) for my Monster Turbine Pro Coppers. When I first got these IEMS I tried every set of tips that came with them and ultimately settled on the triple flange tips as they had the best clarity and comfort. However you really have to push them far into your ear canal to...

    Decibullz microwavable custom fit IED headphones at CES

    There was a review posted on Gizmodo about them today. Not particularly great but like with anything on Gizmodo, take it with a grain of salt. They also do sell their molds as an accessory. Anyone want to buy some and fit them on to some other existing IEMs and see how it affects the sound?

    Best Amp for HD650 with PS AUDIO DL3

    I know this is way out of current price range but I have the PS Audio DLIII and HD 650s and which I feed with a Balanced B22 and the combination is nothing short of amazing. Every time I listen to this setup I'm taken aback by how sweet it sounds. My point is that with your 650s and that source...

    Trouble shooting my audio setup

    I think you are correct. I have previously used a hotaudio dac as my source but when I upgraded to my PS Audio DL III it was a night and day difference. Even compared to the VALAB NOS DAC (which is quite popular if you visit the DAC forum), there is a significant difference. Also, I am referring...
