May be but this is shown plugged in to the normal bias output.

Unfortunately no tests of high bias electrostatics, which are certainly the norm for Stax.

I disagree on several points you raise. Sorbotane is not simply a decoupler material. Read some of the literature put out by the company https://www.insoles-sorbothane.com/sorbothane-safeguards-critical-nasa-components-from-damage-during-launch-isnt-each-step-you-take-just-as-critical/ or...

You are right, it doesn't stick well on its own. It needs something to stick it. Some come with 3M self stick 2 sided tape. Alternatively several materials are recommended by Sorbothane (the company.) I have been using Lord 7650 sold be Ellsworth, it is expensive and somewhat messy but works...

I have stayed off because you get tired of arguing with idiots.

Greetings friend! I have been off these forums for some time. Basically I got what I needed and don't care to argue with people who aren't even prepared to try these mods, which are actually pretty inexpensive. Here is a post I just did on the high-end site in regard to the $5,000 Focal...

"Sorbothane is excellent in the high duro measurements but its expensive and doesn't stick well." Actually it hardly sticks at all, it needs either 3m double sided tape or Lord industrial glue (you can get the precise make from my other posts) I got onto from talking to a tech advisor at...

I have been off for some time from these forums for some time now. Essentially I got what I needed some years back when I delved into the problems of headshell and speaker cabinet resonance, and got some good answers, namely they need a lot of damping...

I have been off this thread for quite a while, mostly because I felt I had figured out how to handle sorbothane damping and had come up with a general understanding of the physics. The latter is basic Newtonian physics, "for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite...

" I came across this reading about HE400S mods, since i finally bought a modern ortho. I just wanted to say, as a senior member of Team Cheap Bastards, that I'm disappointed to be the first person to mention Peel-n-Seal, Dynamat's affordable cousin. Got most of a roll of it here. Used a few...

I haven't added anything here for some time. Basically I have pretty much solved the damping issues problem with my Stax phones and have been working more with speakers. These sobothane mods remain the best and cheapest improvement in sound you are going to find and I expect in the next few...

Thanks for the suggestion. I may give this a try if I can't get a new cable or it breaks again. The only tricky part seems to be cutting the strain relief part down the middle.

Actually I do hang mine up when not in use. The last time I had this problem, I blamed the cleaning ladies, but who knows.

Indeed you are correct, my friend. I finally determined that the fault is a broken wire either in the strain relief section of the cable or further down in the cable itself. This was the same problem that caused me to buy the previous replacement cord 2 years ago. I bought the phones...
