    Stax SR-001/SR-003 - are they being replaced?

    According to the UK importer, there is a new version with an improved battery life coming out late this year. I don't know whether it is a new model or an upgraded version of the mk2. I unfortunately don't have any further information

    The Stax thread (New)

    I called a local Stax dealer today (London, UK) asking whether they had any SR-001s in stock. My girlfriend's dog ate mine during the weekend, so I am looking to have them replaced. The dealer told me that they were discontinued and out of stock (I knew they were discontinued) but that Stax...

    How should I spend my money?

    Thanks to your kind persuation, I just bought a set of Stax SR-001mk2s off the For Sale forum. Can't wait to get them! The chance to try the Stax sound and the differences in sound signature to my Etys clinched the deal. I can come back with some impressions once i receive them.

    How should I spend my money?

    Thanks for your opinion guys! I am leaning towards the Stax, because I have the Etys for when I need isolation, and am keen to try the Stax sound, even in the portable package. The bass is the only place i feel the Etys are lacking, but it's the sweetness of the Stax I am drawn to. The...

    How should I spend my money?

    I am currently trying to decide on whether to purchase a Tomahawk to go with my Etymotic ER4s and Nano, or to try something completely different and purchase a set of Stax SR-001Mk2s. My thoughts on the matter is that I like the sound of my Etymotics, but have been intrigued by the Stax...

    Post your HD650 Rig here!

    I am running a balanced HD650 with a Zu cable through a Rudistor NX-33 from a Classé Audio Cd player, and I am loving the sound! (Sorry about the bad picture, but it gets larger if you click on it)

    Guitar+heaphone+amp= good?

    Get a Behringer V-amp, or a Pod! I use a V-Amp2, and it can be used as an effects-box, but also has a good headphoe out. I use it to practise mye guitar without bothering my roommates. Highly Recommended!

    How many hours a day, do you listen to your headphones?

    I've been listening to my ER4ps for 10-12 hours every day for the last two-three months. I've been sttudying most of the time, listening VERY low, and somtimes just using them for the isolation, and I think they're great.

    Rudistor RPX-33

    I see the price has gone up €300, so there should be improvements. I was set on paying €1000, but €1300 is a bit too much for me. Still just a student.

    ER-20 - good for concerts?

    I just put mine in a glass of mild soap. Maybe just rub them a little. They're easy to keep clean. Quote: Originally Posted by zeppelin2 How do you guys clean 'em?

    ER-20 - good for concerts?

    I've had them for a couple of yeats, and used them at a lot of concerts, and I concur that they do little other than turn the volume down a notch, and kill the exessive oise that is more bothering than anything else. I can thouroghly recommend them.

    IEMs volume loudness

    I used to have the Sony NC-11 noise-cancelling set, but recently purchased the ER4ps. With the Sonys (without the noise-cancelling on), I had my 1st gen iPod at 70-90%, and the same goes for the stock iPod buds, but I'm happy with listening at 15-30% now, with the ER4s. The do block a lot of...

    Audio Technica in Tokyo?

    Hi, I am sure some of you guys know Tokyo better than I do, so I am wondering if someone could tell me where I could buy Audio Technica headphones in Tokyo. (The A1000). If you happen to know of any other good audio stores, that info would also be highly apreciated. Thanks in advance...
