FS: Campfire Audio Cascade Headphones
Sorry everyone I'm a bit rusty and posted to the wrong forum. I'm the original owner, purchased from Campfire Audio in November of 2018. I upgraded the cable to the SXC8 3.5mm at purchase time and later added the SXC8 1/4inch 8-foot cable. The Cascade's come with everything as new, including...- MikeLa

Need help configuring my first Stax Setup
After a browsing through some of the Stax threads, I'm concluding (maybe in error) that if I'm are going to purchase the SR-007Mk2's, I need an amp like the BHSE or WES to drive them properly, unfortunately neither amp fits in the budget. So, is it worth purchasing the SR-007MK2 and...- MikeLa

Where can you purchase STAX equipment in the US ?
I want to try the SR-007 / SRM-007t combination. Do any of our Head-fi sponsors carry the Stax line and do they have a 30 day trial period? thanks- MikeLa

Luxman P1u or Rudistor RPX-300 or ?
Time to compliment the SPL Auditor. I don't have much experience with Solid State amps... well amps in general - Hornet, Proton, Singlepower Supra (not sure it ever worked right) and the SPL Auditor. Current setup; MacBook --> Weiss AF1 --> Esoteric D-05 --> SPL Auditor --> Qualia 010 &...- MikeLa

Mikhail (Singlepower) you win...or maybe you're losing...
Mikhail, that's right, you finally won, you wore me down, your wore my attorney down . You have successfully taken $5,700 in 2007 and never delivered anything - not an amp or a refund, and now, not even an email or a phone call. I've decided to stop throwing good money after bad. To stop the...- MikeLa

Need to upgrade from UE Super.fi 5’s
Primary use is on planes and in hotels, so they need to be closed, have some isolation and travel well – fold or something. I’ll be using them with an iMod 5G and Hornet . I would like to move away from IEM’s, tired of the constant adjustments – maybe the HE25-1 or the new Senn PXC 450. Your...- MikeLa
