WEE - new product from Woo Audio
I like using this amp with the Lambda Pro and HE60: https://www.parts-express.com/lepai-lp-2024a-2x15w-tripath-ta2024-hi-fi-audio-stereo-power-amplifier-with-3a-power-suppl--310-296- plaidplatypus

WEE - new product from Woo Audio
No, most dynamic headphone amps will not have have enough power. Woo Audio suggests using the Wee with amps that are rated at least 3W of power (they don't say into what load, but I would guess 8-ohm). You may want an even more powerful amp depending on what earspeakers you are driving and how...- plaidplatypus

WEE - new product from Woo Audio
As I understand it the transformer is an inductive load while the earspeakers are a variable capacitive load. I haven't used the Benchmark but if the specs are accurate then it should have plenty of power even into difficult loads.- plaidplatypus

WEE - new product from Woo Audio
Todd, you could buy some extra binding posts for the stereo version and wire them up to the different transformer taps. The Seductor is spec'd at 4W for the stereo version, while the Stereomour II is listed as 3.5, what 4-ohm speakers are you planning to drive with the Seductor? Feel...- plaidplatypus

WEE - new product from Woo Audio
Todd, if you build monoblocs you now have 4 binding posts per channel; one for ground, and three others you can solder to the various output taps ex. 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm, 16 Ohm. Having twice the power is nice too :)- plaidplatypus

WEE - new product from Woo Audio
I'd suggest holding out for a SRM-T1 or Woo GES for your Lambdas if you want a stand alone STAX amp. I'm not a big fan of the recent STAX brand solid state amps.- plaidplatypus

STAX SRS-2050II Basic System vs. Koss ESP/950 vs. HD600 w/Dynalo
Quote: I only suggested the DT880 because you asked for a neutral headphone. I'm guessing that you want a headphone that has a slight bass rise, but is not super-heavy bloated. Quote: The GES is only marginally good enough for the SR-007 but it works great with Lambdas. ...- plaidplatypus

STAX SRS-2050II Basic System vs. Koss ESP/950 vs. HD600 w/Dynalo
Quote: Yes, but they sit on your ears, not around them like my HE60. Quote: If you want something neutral try the DT-880. The SR-X MkIII Pro is suppose to be neutral but I have only heard the normal bias version. If you want bass impact just get some Darth...- plaidplatypus

STAX SRS-2050II Basic System vs. Koss ESP/950 vs. HD600 w/Dynalo
Quote: The other earspeakers also improve with system improvements particularly the Koss ESP which benefit from amp/transformer upgrades. The stock system is lacking. My Lambda Pros are a little bit light in bass impact but I still love them. The SR-007 is unimpressive with the...- plaidplatypus

Quote: The SV650 can be a great bike if modded properly, stock it leaves much to be desired. It has a motor that pulls hard from low RPMs to the rev limit. Adding a full pipe system adds a bit more grunt and can make nice sounds. The stock suspension is not worthy of being on this...- plaidplatypus

The Stax thread (New)
The SR-003 bothered me a little, I don't like things sitting inside my ear. The SR-007 was not my favorite because the ear pads don't breath well, If I lived in Iceland I'd have to reconsider them though. Lambdas and Sigmas with pads that are still fluffy I find quite fairly comfortable. The...- plaidplatypus

Ray Samuels SR-71 servicing??

Quote: Lambdas sound unnatural with the KGSS, not as much so with SRD-type boxes, the STAX tube hybrids or the Woo GES. I found the SR-007 and KGSS to have a wonderful sound but with a bit too much bass slam. I must prefer the warm fuzzy I get with Lambdas.- plaidplatypus

Coaxial or Optical?
AC-3, I believe, is single digital signal, use a mono cable with the correct terminations for each device. I like Quicksilver but I would suggest Monoprice in this case. -
