    Help me find the best DAC for my Stax 009 and KGSSHV Carbon

    I've been trying for about a year, off and on, to find the right upgrade for this combo. I am currently using a Yggdrasil (1st addition), and it's currently being upgraded to an Analog 2 by Schiit. The original Yggdrasil combination is very good, but I think I can do better. I may be going in...

    Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why R2R kind of sucks - just to get you to think about stuff)

    I am 38 years old and a child of the 80s. While I played around with vinyl a little, I grew up on CDs. I want my digital music to sound like digital music - not analog. I like my music to sound "Hi-Fi". I don't think that's a dirty word. I am learning to avoid devices that are described as...

    Bricasti M1 Versions, Upgrades and Impressions (2011 - 2018)

    I just picked up a demo M1 yesterday at a good price to use with both my Stax 009 (Mojnir KGSSHV Carbon) and LCD 4 (Violectric V281). In my reading I've noticed that there are many versions of the M1 as Bricasti has made it essentially very upgrade-able. Further, there are not a lot of...

    Cables

    For the longest time, I wanted to believe that cables simply don't matter. Frankly, there is enough stuff to pay for in high-end audio - and it's a lot easier to say a cable is a cable. When I was a budding audiophile, I happened to work at CNET (in and unrelated department). One of the...

    Electrostat help! Stax SRM 717 Distorting on Unbalanced Inputs Only

    Hi All -   Could use the help of any Electrostat/Stax Experts.   I have a Stax 717 I bought used on head-fi a few years ago and it's always worked flawlessly. Ran into an issue last night with the unbalanced inputs. They began sounding like the amp was being overdriven. Confirmed it wasn't...

    Audeze XC Issue

    Hi All - My Audeze XC took a minor spill. About 4 feet off my headphone hook. No damage at all to the headphones cosmetically, and I didn't believe any issue to the cans sound wise either. Then - I started to think the bass sounded a little thin. It's not thin in one driver, it just sounds...
