I am considering buying a pair of Stax 009`s but not sure of which amp to buy with them.I was considering the Stax 727 MKII but have read a couple of not so good reviews on this model.I can`t afford the Blue Hawaii or Cavalli models so would appreciate any help from other 009 users on what else...

Greetings.   Having had dynamic HP set ups for years and had almost every HP/amp combo there is, I have decided to jump back into Stax and go for an SR-009. The choice of amp is the question.   Years back I had an O2 / SRM 717 and I preferred the SS energiser to the 007 by quite a margin.  ...

I have just received my Stax 507s.  I've read that the 323S is considered the best of the Stax amps.  However, I've read that a modified 727II is considered a better amp than the 323S.  I'm not very handy, so if I would have a 727II modified, I wouldn't know where to go for this.  So, if I had a...

Hi all, I've been doing a lot of searching in Head-Fi and I see a lot of praises for the older Stax SRM-717 over the newer SRM-727a (or SRM-007tA) but I haven't come across any explanation as to why Stax connoisseurs prefer the older SRM-717. I'm looking for a match for the newer SR-009...

I am planning to buy the SR-009 headphones. My plan in the future is to get the RSA A10 Thunderbolt for them and also use it as pre-amp in my speaker system. In the meantime I need to go with a less expensive amplifier so I am looking to buy a Stax package.   I have been told that the...

Hi all,   I was in the process of converting some of my old lossy AAC to ALAC and in quite a few tracks I noticed that I was very hard pressed trying to hear a difference between my old 160kbps AAC vs the newly recorded ALACs. This is listening through my Benchmark DAC1 Pre (USB...

Excuse me，does the sennheiser HE - 60 headphones cable top need add resistance when it work with stax 727 ? Because I remember sennheiser HEV70 and stax 727 has different output voltage. Please give me some advice.Thanks a lot!

I'm considering purchasing a Stax SR007 mk1 setup (KGSS or SRM 727), but would like to demo them first if at all possible. None of the high end NYC audio shops (In Living Stereo, Stereo Exchange, Innovative, Singer) carry Stax (or much of anything besides Grado). If anyone is interested I have...

Hi all, I am looking at my first foray into the high end headphone market. I currently have a HD650 headphone, but like every audiophile, I want the best sound obtainable.   So i'm looking at purchasing the Stax SR-009. Trouble is i'm not sure what amp to pair it with. After reading through...
