    :flag_sg: CanJam Singapore 2016 (20 February - 21 February)

    For those thinking about food options in Singapore here are some recommendations...essentially the locals like myself will go to these places, and you can't go too wrong! Mind you, food in Singapore is not that cheap compared to Malaysia or Indonesia, and alcohol is quite expensive as well...

    :flag_sg: CanJam Singapore 2016 (20 February - 21 February)

    Hey guys! If you guys are looking for food around Pan Pacific hotel area (where Canjam is going to be held), my recommendation is to head towards Marina Square shopping centre or Suntec City mall.  Avoid Glutton by the Bay because it's an overpriced place with bad representation of what good...

    I'll probably have to send it back to Japan.  Anyone else tried sending back directly to Stax Japan?

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    Hey guys, what's the average wait time for the BHSE?  Justin said over the email it's between 4-6 months upon ordering (but I heard he has a reputation of not being that punctual)

    Guys, need some advice here. 2 years after using the Omega II mk 2, the headphone has a prob with channel imbalance - right side is significantly softer than the left.  I have a SR-404 LE which doesn't have the problem when plugged into the same amp, so that rules out any possible problem with...

    Anyone knows the rating of the slow blow fuse for the stax 717? It's the one located near the transformer. Brought the fuse out to bring it to the hardware store, but looks like I've dropped it in my friend's office... Duh there are also 2 more fuses near the capacitors, F1 and F2, would...

    Hey guys, anyone knows if the Stax 717 can be set to run at 240v instead of 220v (currently on jumper 3 & 5). My country's AC is 230v, is it true that by setting it at 240v on the 717, it'll run cooler than setting it at 220v? The 717 recently begin to start shutting down after 1-2 hours due...
