I bought a Stax T1 recently. Left channel has 3 or 4 burnt resisters. I think they are called mini carbon chip resisters. I haven't been able to figure out the wattage or the values so far. The value bands spiral around and can't find info on how to read that. I will post pics below of the...

I have a new laptop about a month old. I noticed a fairly major sound problem a few days ago. If I play my headphones at a good volume after about 30sec sound starts to flutter crackle and pop. I just went into my device manager and changed all the USB ports so there is no power managing. I...

I broke my cable today on my O2 Mk1's at the strain relief. It is pretty upsetting and I am not out of the woods yet. I decided to try and combine a 407 cable into the original modified strain reliefs. So far it has potential that exceeds my expectations. A few things that if anyone has an...

I really really did not want to open my O2's but I did the unthinkable. Even from the day I received the pair in the mail the bass weight in the left channel just seemed partly missing to me. I just had enough of thinking it was my ear and opened the left side up to see if there was a visual...

Diy of course but is there any good reason this would not sound good? Too little bass maybe?

Were these any good? http://www.audiodigitalzone.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=57

http://xtreamer.net/prodigy/ This is a new product but would it also work as a soundcard/Dac?

I have a pair of Lambda pro's that get very little use with Lambda sig's around. Again I am looking at the Sigma for their panoramic sound. I was looking  at buying a pair but they are not easy to find. I was running through Ideas to recreate the Sigma housing. So far my idea is to make a...

Was watching and hoping on this one   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=110646391500&si=R5J%252BS5KMENhQPNnfd4Gra5hGyck%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT   Saw this model before on the internet and to me is the best looking Stax amp out there. It...

I started with vintage Stax and liked the sound so I saw how much some people on here like there esl57's. So when I saw a pair locally for sale I bought them. Problem is they have been more problems than anything. I am just venting some frustration. I spent the night rebuilding one of the...

I have been struggling to get a good balance between left and right channel for some time now. I even re-soldered and swapped the left right channels in my Lambda sigs. The problem stayed now it is just in the swapped driver. I notice if I unplug the earphones and plug them back in they seem...

Something interesting I saw on Ebay  interesting comments.     http://cgi.ebay.com/Stereo-Pair-Monoblock-Tube-Amplifiers-Amps-Carver-KT88-/180502457652?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item2a06c8ed34

Any way to go wireless  usb from laptop to musiland 02? Is this still not really possible? Do you think there will be really good dac/soundcards that have wifi in the near future?

My Lambda Sig were delivered today but the disappointment was almost instant. I knew the Foam was gone but the seller left out the part that the mesh is poked into the driver. One side doesn't look as bad just a little bit in the middle but the other side is pretty bad. The film that is under...

To bad this guy wont ship to Canada but are these Mk1 or Mk2? STAX SR-007 Electrostatic Earspeakers ( MADE-IN-JAPAN ) - eBay (item 140400893243 end time Apr-27-10 07:50:33 PDT)

Hi I have a laptop with 3 usb ports 2 on 1 side stacked on top of each other and 1 on the other side. The problem I am having is with the 2 that are stacked on top of each other. I was thinking bad usb cables at first but now I am guessing there may be a bad or cracked solder joint on the usb...

Anyone ever had the chance to hear both? I ask because by looks it looks like Sennheiser stole there design from Sony and they just used cheap plasticy materials to replicate this older design. Is there any similarity's in sound? I will read up more on the Sony Qualia it seems to be very rare...

Has anybody compared the sound quality of the two or with a comparable Stax? My k702 have not been getting much head time since acquiring the Stax. I like the Stax presentation better vocals are more forward and the music seems to be clearer and come off more effortlessly. I thought the Stax...

I just got a set of Lambda pro and I notice a crinkle noise. I think its the air tight seal that sometimes a little pressure I will hear a crinkling noise. Is this anything to worry about? Seems to happen once and a while both on right and left side.

Hi I just got a Stax Lambda pro and Srm1/Mk2 "C Series" today. I am really enjoying the sound. I noticed the foam closest to the ear has deteriorated and is half gone. Should I remove what is left of it? Is there any material that would be good to cut to an oval shape and fit in there to replace...

I am still thinking I have an imbalance between left and right channels. Seems there is more volume on the right side. Would many recording like rock etc favor the right side that this would happen or do I definitely have faulty equipment somewhere in the chain?

I just missed out on a SR-Lambda Pro and SRM-1/MK-2 on ebay on the weekend just didn't time my bid out right at the end. Looked like a nice set from the original owner. It ended up going for $569.99 US. Same set just came up at canuckaudiomart and its even in the same city as me. STAX...

Is this a bad idea? I just saw a K1000 thread where someone took the K1000 drivers and put them in a different headphone housing with good results. Anyone know how much K1000 drivers are and who to get a hold of to buy them?

Would K1000 stay on the head while lying in bed?
