Really smooth and easy purchase from bebop7, good comms and posted very quickly. Would gladly deal with again.

Wow thanks! So this looks realllyy like a SR-5N successor to me , with the more open style SR-X baffles. Where are you guys getting the photos and listening impressions from? is there a Japanese website out there with people posting? thanks

TBH, looking at the side-by-side photo with SR-Xmk3, the SR-X1 driver doesnt look much bigger. It is also curious whether the SR-X1 has supra-aural or circumaural earpads...none of the photos seem to show. Here is a translated version of the Japanese leaflet:

Hi all, I'm looking for a Stax SRM-X pro (the small bronze colour amp with PB and NB sockets), if anyone has one they wouldn't mind selling, please DM me :). thank you

Great guy, very generous and shipped out super fast! thanks

Good communication, posted quickly and works well. Thank you

DM sent :)

This is very big news for this thread; the first time a really major mainstream company is producing planars in volume. Something which was of interest in this thread a decade ago. Fingers crossed it leads onto better things in terms of mainstream planars. In related news, i suppose the Yamaha...

Where can we see the floor plan? thank you

Are any of the vendors planning on demoing electrostatic headphones (Stax or others)?

Hi all, I am looking for a Beyerdynamic DT-990 pro that may have stopped working. I do not mind if the drivers do not work. Frame should be in good condition. Post to me in England UK. Thank you.

No idea if this is any good, but it looks cool :D https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=624409745078&ft=t&toSite=main (https://parcelup.com/shop/item.php?id=624409745078#4422914557614)

You can connect them to a speaker amp (see attached instructions and spec). To prevent slow-term damage to your speaker amp, ensure you connect it fully balanced (Not TRS) to the speaker amp terminals. Bridging the ground can cause some problems. I have driven them from Speaker amps in the past...

I barely am around here these days, but saw @Currawong 's post on facebook about the YH-5000. I am amazed this is happening and very excited to hear one if I can. I also contacted Yamaha probably close to a decade ago around them getting back into the ortho game. I tried (unsuccessfully) here to...

I would be almost sure it is not related to PMB or their cousins. The D35 is the next gen from the D30/50, it would likely have a similar 'Akai' style driver. Possible single ended. whether it is a recycled driver, or a evolved design is the question. haha, thanks :D. Perhaps apart from wanting...

Love the collection. You managed to snag things I couldn't in all these years :D! bravo. Can you tell us (or show us) what driver the Otto E-1000 has please? Also to answer the question a few days ago on the Victor line-up, the D50/70/90 are all very different. They have different drivers...

Hiya, unfortunately I don't have much further than the posts you found, and it was so long ago I don't remember all details. I think I used iFrogz pads at the time, but I think I would go for pads without netting material, certainly trying different pads will be a large part of modding success...

Wooot Score! Now a photo of you wearing both simultaneously :p? Beautiful engineering in these.

Hi there, Does anyone here have some old Stax SR-X earpads that are peeling away that they don't need any more? I am looking for old SR-X pads with the peeling pleather :). Thanks!

Can anyone provide a photograph of the driver please?

Thank you for that! wow, did not realise the impact to aluminium foil and membranes.

Hi all, Wondering if anyone here is knowledgeable enough to help me. I need to clean the innards of a rare vintage Yamaha orthodynamic driver. Dismantling is difficult and requires extreme procedures. I also have a small ultrasonic cleaner (the typical home ones): My question is: Will...

Hello orthoheads. I am in need of some help please. Anyone have a Broken Yamaha YH-1 or HP-1 frame? I need a pair (or even 1) of the strut joints from them. The pieces that join the cup to the headband. Thank you

You can get USB 5v to 12v step up converters on eBay inexpensively. e.g. https://www.ebay.com/itm/392874960264 Can you give any examples of small DC powered speaker amps that may be suitable? Thanks.

I cannot be sure, but this is potentially another Orthodynamic we didn't know about (albeit likely a rebadge). Dynatron SP6, which seems to be a rebadge of the Peerless PMB6. I asked the seller for some photos which show the text on it. It is entirely possible it is not an ortho, but I would...
