http://hdtracks.com   A free 10 track sampler 24/96 FLAC   I had a problem downloading their last free sampler, but I was able to get this one successfully.

Sorry 'bout that. The link was posted on the other site Dec 30, 2012, and I'm still having trouble trying to download it myself!

Quote:   I've purchased some stuff from there too, but before I bought anything I downloaded a free sampler from the column on the left where it says:   New to HDtracks? Learn and get a free download!   The link I posted above I found on another website, the dynacotubeaudio forum...

Quote:   StratocasterMan, this is a great thread, I'm lovin' it!   Besides being free, I'm getting introduced to some new music that I'll probably eventually end up buying.   Don't know of any links to free FLAC files myself, but if I find any I'll post them here.   Thanks for...

The type of amp is irrelevent as to the high voltage required for an electrostatic element. Most, if not all, have a way to boost the voltage from the amp. Usually a step-up transformer and an internal high voltage power supply for the bias voltage, which is usually on the order of thousands of...

I agree with what mikeymad and Uncle Eric said. Electrostats are a difficult load to drive and probably won't do well well with a low power amp, especially if you like to listen loud and/or you're set up in a large room. Quote: Originally Posted by papomaster Any info / experience...

Gorgeous! Congrats to all who have one. (Or one on order)

Please count me in too, if possible. Need a dedicated e'stat amp to drive my ΛPro's and O2's.

I joined Head-Fi in April '08 and I haven't posted on "The Stax thread" yet because I'm still reading it.....I think I'm now on page 612........

This was the first "meet" I have ever attended and I really didn't know what to expect. My interest was in being able to hear some different dedicated e'stat amps, and that I was able to do. The KGSS, STAX SRM-007t and the Woo GES. I liked all 3 but I think the KGSS was the best. It was...

Quote: Originally Posted by The Monkey I think both are excellent headphones. So far, though, I prefer the mk1. They just seem more neutral and effortless to me; they disappear. But I do think the mk2 is fun with rock and is taking something of an unfair beating on these boards. One...

Quote: Originally Posted by The Monkey Thanks ejmcgee. Did you get a chance to compare the mk2 to the mk1? No, never heard the mk1. I've wanted the 'Omegas' ever since they were introduced and finally was able to purchase the mk2's last year. From reading here on Head-Fi the...

Error....sorry

What a day! Got to meet some really nice people who are audionutz like me. Finally heard AKG K1000's for the first time. Met and listened to the legendary Joe Grado. Also got to hear e'stats on some dedicated stat amps, KGSS, STAX 007t and Woo GES. Thanks again DannyB and all who helped with...

You sure can DannyB, but not 'til after I hear the Jade e'stats! Don't want anything to impair my impressions of these cans. OK, so I'll be the "official slapee", everyone gets a slap starting @ 5PM. Ladies (you know where to slap me) can start lining up @2PM.

Hey everyone! New here (well I've been lurking for a while). Live in Lincolnton and I'm finding this oppurtunity just to good to pass up. Never been to one before. I'll be bringing: STAX SR Lambda Pro's / SRD 7Pro energizer Koss ESP/950's w/STAX adapter
