3D printed stax sigma enclosure?
Couldn't we just use bolts as posts on say four corners and nuts and washers to clamp it down?- Spare Tire

3D printed stax sigma enclosure?
Nice work scott16. But since this was laser cut, you might have asked the guy to make it with dovetails and front grill while we're at it. Might have made it easier to assemble and safer for the drivers.- Spare Tire

3D printed stax sigma enclosure?
Anyone done it? So a couple of years ago, I mean probably a decade ago when I was here, there was someone who posted about sending in their stax sigma to the American distributor to get it upgraded with lambda 404 drivers, cable and headband. I contacted the distributor back then for a quote...- Spare Tire

convert voltage of stax SRM-300 from japanese 100V to NA 110V
Holy necrorevive batman. Here are just a two more pics of what it looks like after the operation, for reference. They cut off the lead very short at the factory and it was quite a tight fit trying to solder blue & purple to the switch. Your amp might be less lucky. Here is the...- Spare Tire

So if i understand well: brown -> BRN green -> GRN Which means brown and green are connected to nothing, like blue and purple was? And: blue + purple -> power switch Wow, that was easier than i though.- Spare Tire

convert voltage of stax SRM-300 from japanese 100V to NA 110V
Here are the pictures as promised. Looks a lot different than the SRM-313. Simpler if you ask me, but i don't know what they mean, so i hope i shot the right place. Grey, green and brown leads are connected to the power switch. Grey and white are connected to the back of WHT. The blue...- Spare Tire

convert voltage of stax SRM-300 from japanese 100V to NA 110V
Hum. I'll try to take some pics but i don't have a digital camera. I'll see if any friends can lend me theirs to take some shots. I'll see what i can do, it'll be reference for the community too if that happens. As for the link, yeah i think that's the thread. Indeed it's the 313, not the...- Spare Tire

convert voltage of stax SRM-300 from japanese 100V to NA 110V
Well, from what i can remember, there was a picture of the innards of the SRM-300 with leads having colored sleevings and someone had actually tried it. I think doctor Kevin Gilmore said which lead had to go where but i can't seem to find the thread. A multi paged thread at that.- Spare Tire

convert voltage of stax SRM-300 from japanese 100V to NA 110V
Hi, I know there exist a thread here in head-fi with instructions on how to do this, but i can't find it anymore. I haven't been on these boards for a long time (happy wallet) so it's hard for me to track it down (was it in that long stax thread?) I bought a Stax SRM-300 from audiocubes and...- Spare Tire

Radio Shack's new $15 Presidian Speakers - Brief Reviews and Thoughts
Argn, and i just shelled out 250CADs for a pair of speakers. -
Paradigm Monitor-series in europe
Well i don't know much about speakers either and head-fi isn't much about speakers anyways, but from personnal experience with the atom monitor v5, i can say they surely as hell aren't worth the 750$ they are charging you over there. They have this mid-bass resonance that makes some of my tracks... -
budget speakers: paradigm atom or psb alpha?
Follow-up: After two months of roading, the speakers have perceptibly leveled the mid bass hump. It's a lot more tolerable now. -
Paradigm Monitor-series in europe
I'm sure every country has some great localy produced speakers for cheap so if the paradigms are unavailable in your locality, then just buy the equivalent from local. -
