Out Of Your Head - new virtual surround simulator
Just thought I would bump the thread - anyone tried OOYH with Win11 or the latest Win10 updates? Is the workaround still needed - or does it work on its own? Thanks- dlaloum

Out Of Your Head - new virtual surround simulator
Has anyone tried Windows 11 with OOYH? It would be good to know whether the bug is still there with Win11 or whether the Windows update gets rid of it.- dlaloum

The Stax Thread III
I thought one could get an idea of whether the Bias is in the right ballpark by measuring between Ground and the final 5M load resistor (ie not at the headphone pinouts)? I am trying to both check the Bias and adjust the unit to run on 240V as it is a 100V only Vintage Japanese SRD7. - It is...- dlaloum

have you heard of the Art headtap amp?
The only negative with low imp. HP's is that with some amps the background noise becomes audible. ( hiss) The better the amp, the less likely the problem. It was not an issue with ky quad amps.- dlaloum

The Stax Thread III
Hi Folks, how do I measure the bias voltage at the output of my SRD box? A Standar multimeter ? set to DC? between which pins? Also what happens if you run a pair of ELS headphones at too high or too low a bias voltage? thanks- dlaloum

The Stax Thread III
Thanks Joachim, I have that schematic - but the circuit board in here does not look like that schematic. It looks a lot more like the SRD5 schematic with the 50k resistor on the power input (with a switch which replaces the 50k with a 250k to switch from 100V to 240V... on the SRD5, the...- dlaloum

The Stax Thread III
Hi Folks, I have an SRD7 - which is not working... It appears to have 3 resistors that have been cut in half (!) - 51k, 100k, 1M - and it is therefore delivering no bias. It is an early 100V only unit - all the circuit diagrams I have found are for the later multi-voltage units ...- dlaloum

The cost and hassle of international shipping makes me pause before sending something back (Shipping out of Australia is remarkably expensive) I am considering doing it myself....- dlaloum

M-Audio 2496 sound card, do I need a DAC?
I retired my 2496 when the input failed.... However the replacement for my 2496 (an e-Mu 1616m) made me go Ahaha The 2496 is just not quite transparent - if I recorded a good analogue source (Vinyl), and played it back, it did not sound quite the same - difference was subtle - but...- dlaloum

The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread
Hi Folks, my mid 80's DT880's (Revox 3200) have started losing a channel after my 1 year old discovered "magic curly cable" (toddler crack a friend called it!).... I have been really happy with these HP's for years - and like the original curly cable, but have no idea where I could...- dlaloum

The Stax Thread III
Thank you Ali-Pasha , Yes I knew about audiocubes, I was hoping there might be an alternative to the pleather ones (velour?, something that doesn't cause sweaty ears?) - but apparently not. Back on the topic of the SRD7, It arrived this morning - but there is a problem..... Someone...- dlaloum

Hi Folks, looking for some help from the communal Stax braintrust.... I have picked up a set of SR-Xmk3, and have an SRD7 on its way to me.... (this will be my intro to Earspeakers) Two things are immediately apparent 1) the SRX needs new pads - what are my options? Any options...- dlaloum

Stax SRD-7 transformer box question
Hi folks, I have an SRD7 (unknown vintage) on the way to me from Japan... Just wondering how I can tell whether it is multi-voltage or 100/110V only... I believe that some of the jp units were labeled only 100V but were in fact multi-voltage. Any help appreciated thanks ...- dlaloum
