Which setup would sound better? - High end headphone + mid DAC / amp - mid-fi headphone + high end DAC / amp

Looking through  a group of manuals and repair manuals on some of my older audio gear, I was surprised to find the original manual for the above headphones. I also found the very skimpy manuals for the Stax SR-Gamma 'phones and the SRD-7/SB and SRD-6/SB adaptors (1 manual).   The full HD540...

Hello there,   What would be a good price for this headphone and is it worth getting? I'm asking because I see a pretty cheap one for sale nearby. It's ad price is 140 euro. (around 180 dollars or sumthing) I can probably get some off the price. BUT it comes as is. He couldn't test it and I...

Hi,   I had a look for a modern alternate schematic for a switchable low and highbias stax (like SRD-7 MK2), but couldn't find anyone. I would even use the original schematic. But I cannot find a parts list - at least for the used transformer types... (may be with Lundahls).   Could...

Not sure if I read it or imagined I read it, but can it be done?   The Koss E/9 Energizer is not well respected.  I own it too, but I think the Stax energizer is more respected, so I'd like to try to mate them up if it won't hurt me or the phones.   Thoughts??

I have a new Stax headphone an sr-84 (sr-80 and srd-4) on the way to me. Here’s my problem. I know I can’t run the sr80s from the srd-7sb (normal bias only) just the srd-4 (electret). The speaker pass-through however is unused. Can I run the srd-4 from the speaker pass-through on the srd-7sb and...

Is there any way in which I can obtain ear pads for Stax SRD-7 headphones?

Can I connect  my Lambda Pro with STAX SRD-7 to a CD player via RCA out  (http://www.pacificvalve.us/DOGE6.html). instead of connecting it to my speaker mono block amps ? or do I need STAX SRM-1 . MK-2 for that?  thanks 

Hello-   I recently purchased a Stax SRD-7. The back of the unit simply says "100V". The pamphlet that came with it (assuming it is original) says the unit can be run on 100V-240V. I have seen another SRD-7 that says "100V-240V" on the back....Not sure if I should trust the pamphlet or the...

I recently bought. Srd7, sr5 combo set. And how do I hook that guys up on my pc??

Hi everyone--   I'm thinking of finding an inexpensive way of entering the land of Stax, and it looks like the older transformer box, SRD-7, happens to be more or less available. I have a newbie question, so apologies in advance. The back of the box appears to have a power cord and another...

Hello everyone   This is my first post on this forum but I read it for a long time ; english is not my first language (I am french) so I hope you will forgive some bad writing...   I like Stax headphones a lot (I can tell I am an addict...), I own one Lambda normal bias, one Lambda pro bias...

I just purchased a set of Stax SR5 headphones with the SRD-7 adapter on craigslist. The seller threw in an additional headphone, which he believes to be a Denon electrostatic...there are no markings on it anyway (except for "Japan" written on it) and the energizer it came with only says  ME-20D...

I just recently purchased the Stax off ebay. I had been interested in e-stats since hearing some at Thrice's meet last year. When I recieved these today, only the earpads were in bad condition. I have already ordered replacements from audiocubes. My Sr-X are powered by a SRD-7/SB from a Kenwood...
