I have a paid of STAX SR-007 (mki), and the cable now has a loose connection at the headphone end. I've fixed a similar problem on some old Grados of mine, but I'm a lot more nervous about opening up a pair of electrostatic headphones, and I'm not even sure how I'd do it. Has anyone had any...

I'd be interested in coming, and I can bring my HeadAmp KGSS. I'll also probably bring my broken (channel imbalanced) O2 Mk1 for comparison. But it would be nice to hear them as they should be, again.   Quote:  

I'm not 100% sure of the defining features of a circumaural, but I think they are not. They have a very thin pad around the part that sits on your ears, but it doesn't go all the way to touch the head, at least on my pair.   Quote:  

Would my Havana DAC do? it's got a USB input   Quote:  

For a NOS USB DAC, I'll second DarKu's Havana recommendation.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely give that a try. Embarassing question this, but how do you safely open up O2? I did a couple of quick searches, but failed to find any instructions, somehow.   Quote:

Well, unless they are out for repair, my O2 should be there (and my KGSS will be, for sure), just the cans may still have a serious channel imbalance . I finally get a system completed and then two weeks later... Anyhoo, If you still have the Jades, K1000 and LCD-2, I'd love to hear all those...

Hi Folks,   Got a bit of a problem with my O2 mki, and I've done some quick looking around for potential solutions, but I was hoping to see if anyone had any advice on what to do next. They have a serious channel imbalance (have to turn up the left knob 3 ticks for every 2 ticks on the right...

I'd definitely be in, if there's still room.   My omega 2s are giving me grief, so I might not be able to bring those, but I have a new amp (HeadAmp KGSS) since the last meet. I'd love to hear some of the stuff people are bringing on it, especially the 507, which I haven't had a chance to...

Looks like I'm going to have to miss this one. I'm sick, and I've lost my voice. Don't want to make others sick, and it'd be a bit awkward to go to a social gathering without being able to talk. I hope you all have a great time, though, and many thanks to FallenAngel for hosting it!

Is there still room for more? I can bring a few dacs (perfectwave, havana and e-mu) and a laptop as sources if they would help. Not sure if it's worth bringing my O2s, as I still don't have an amp that drives them properly. I'd love to heave the 507s, though!

I'd be interested in coming too. I'll bring my Omega 2 mki, PerfectWave DAC and srd-7 pro. I can also bring my MHDT Havana, MAD Ear+, Allessandro MS2i or STAX 404 if anyone would like to hear (or possibly buy) them.   I should also be able to pick a couple of people up from Kipling station...

  Quote: Wouldn't it be better to use two cellphones and two extensions on your work end, for stereo sound?   I keep meaning to sell my Havana though, so if you're potentially interested, I'm sure we could arrange a time for you to listen to it.

Quote:   I have an MHDT Havana and an E-MU 0404 that I'm not using at the moment, so I could bring either of those, if you like.  

I can be free that day, so if you don't mind my bringing mostly stuff you've heard before, I'd be in. At least I have a new DAC since we last did a meet, but I can't seem to find proper amplification used, so my rig is still in a transitional/shambolic state.   Also, I can vouch that...
