    The Stax Thread III

    STAX! it's all great kit. I've just finished a listening session with my unmodded L700s via my new KGSSHV amp (even my old SR-5 Golds sound amazing!) feed off a prototype KINGSWAY (NZ designed and built by Adam Rosner) valve preamp via the Terminator DAC and Singxer SU-6 feed by my old tablet...
