Eddie Current 2A3 MKIV 6 watts SET Speaker/Headphone amp, if you can find one. Personally, never had any luck with RCA out for K1000, speaker amp wins hands down. Good luck!

If nobody wants, I will take a JEEP.:ksc75smile:

Thx for your reply guys. Basically, you all saying: Get cleaning machine instead:-)

Looking for some feedbacks about record cleaning devices, such as: Spin Clean MK2 Record Friend Cleaner Both seems to have identical design and the way how to handle / clean records, but the question is, how effective these are vs. vacuum machines? Another question I have, how safe these...

Paid EUR 18 in Holland, so, not sure about USD 50 to be honest. Just found original invoice I paid on 16-10-2018 which is EUR 17,51 include TAX

O.K. fair enough. I got my years ago and to be honest, had no idea that HP50 are discontinued already, so, I just checked online at that shop I wrote about it and indeed, they do have HP70 only.

Not sure, but seems you missed the point. I ordered pads from local shop where they sell NAD headphones. My repair request went through service center of that shop directly. So, if you have any local shop you can step in and order pads, just do so, done. And like I wrote, it took a while, think...

I sent an e-mail to our local NAD importer with request that I need assistance to fix my HP50 and after 2 business days I got reply from local dealer/shop with all need it forms and description what to do. Next day, I sent the package to their service center and next day they fixed and sent...

Search on the NAD website for importer in your country and send the e-mail to them instead. Ask if they sell directly or ask for NAD dealer in your area they work with. Thats what I did and it worked perfect. Bought original replacement pads at the end for EUR 18. Regarding Brainwavz, not sure...

Picked up and already installed the new pads for HP50's. Frist impressions are good and to be honest, why shoudnt they be, as these are samish. Istalling pads are easy, just start from one shorter side, keep that part in place and rotate easy further, gently stretch out, keep that also in place...

I see, good one, but you may already saw the differences, where Tung Sol has SU and yours, just like the majority of the same type of tubes, SL between 6 & 7: 6SU7 vs 6SL7. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Just wonder if you can post any pics of those Brimars please. Reason I ask, is because the only 6SU7gty tubes I know off are Tung Sols, USA made. THX

L700 are good match with SRM-600 Limited. It uses ECC99 tubes, which according to Stax gurus better tube overal.

Opening the HP4 is easy work. Replacing the tubes, nothing to worry about either, but thats for me, as I rolled pretty much everything you can imagine, however, you must be careful, never pull the tubes out by grabbing the glass body, base only! My biggest issue with HP4 was the fact that only...

Just yersterday, I ordered the original replacement pads through the local shop, paid EUR 17,51 and expecting them in few days. Its not the comfort, the pads on my HP50 simply done after several years, however, if these were better quality, they would still be o.k., its just the pletter material...

Guys, anyone up here who tried these Brainwavz replacement pads for Sony MDR 7506 on HP50? If yes, whats your impressions, do they change the sound signature badly? Another thing I like to know, is how do they fit, is it difficult to put them on? According to this cnet article they do fit. THX

Unfortunately for me, the most top range headphones reached the exoshpere, no sarcasm here, but for those who can get in there, this is very happy moment, enjoy! Mega compliments to the team behind: Mr. Heinz Renner and Mr. Helmut Ryback & others, all the best to you!

I believe they will be using some of the orig tooling and material, but no way 100% the same. Whichever way, good to see them back!

On December of 13th 2010 I wrote to sales department of WE, asked if they are planning a restart of WE 300B production, but the answer was not promissing, I believe. Today, just 7 years later, I got the e-mail from WE with that text above and I posted right away, thats all.

This is a very happy start of the year 2018! It is my distinct pleasure to announce that the WE 300B electron tube will re-enter production this year, in time for its 80th Anniversary. The famous triode was developed at Bell Labs in 1933 in the form of its predecessor, the 300A, which was...

As long as you dont hear anything that disturb the sound, such as hum, noise, crackling or dead channel, you are fine. Some tubes can be weak, but still perform fine and when you buy from the honest person, he will tell you how much hours tubes had, so you can get the idea. On the other hand...

The only way to stimulate Stax of getting the idea of remaking of original Omega is by writing them, however, you cant do this by e-mail anymore, only by writing an letter, but I dont see this happening. Personally, I have tried O2 many times, black color, thats all I know about their version...

The link I found, yahoo I mean, T2+Omega were sold for USD 23k just a little over a month ago.

Stax should release them again.
