KGST amplifier for sale. Wonderful pairing with the Stax Sr-009 as it does much to improve the dynamics and impact of the sound. The builder is S_r, you can read more about the amplifier here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/question-about-amps-for-the-stax-sr-009.569024/page-53 Amplifier is in...

I would bring it to meets all across California, and I would review the hell out of them, and I would try them with hundreds of different amps and dacs, I would show them to all my friends, my parents, my friend's parents, my parent's friends. I would get so much mileage out of this headphone...

Is there someone willing to organize a room?

Just wondering if there were any audiophiles in Berkeley? Maybe we can arrange a small meet up; I would love to see your set ups. Points if you're affiliated with UCB, it would make for a great ice breaker.   I know finals are fast approaching, but I wouldn't mind setting up something for summer.
