    Stax Sigma - how many owners are left out there?

    Well spotted. ;)   Yes, It is a beautifully put together bit of kit but DOA.   I am hoping to find a techy to check it over but all the ones I know are real busy right now.   I think / hope it is just a simple PSU fault.

    Stax Sigma - how many owners are left out there?

    I have 2 pairs of NB Sigma...   Sigma 1 s/no 00366 The cable is round cloth covered black with red specks.   Sigma 2 s/no 04768 The cable is flat pvc or other, colour is black.   Sigma 1 has a damaged ARC with an iffy looking repair, works fine.   Sigma 2 is immaculate like new, boxed...

    SRD-X Pro v SRM-T1S I have an SRD-X Pro and a chance to buy a SRM-T1S. How much better is the T1S over the SRD-X if at all? Thanks in advance for any opinions.

    Stax Sigma Low Bais and Stax Sigma Pros

    ^ Hi, I agree, compared to my Gamma Pros, my Sigmas sounded very restrained. Still a very pleasing sound with certain types of music. I only did this mod last night, I compared the sound with my Gamma Pros, they, the Gammas are so in your face by comparison but once my ears aclimatized to...

    Stax Sigma Low Bais and Stax Sigma Pros

    Hi Guys, Well you will love me or hate me for this but trying to figure out how to get a bit more of a detailed sound out of my Sigmas, I tried this modification with the Stax Lambdas in mind, sort of. I took a cardboard tube from a used bog roll, I cut out two oblong pieces 70mm width...

    Quad ESL 57 vs. Stax delema

    No contest, ESL57 ftw. The only speakers better than a pair of ESL57s is 2 pairs stacked. Also forget the Quad11 40s, the originals are much nicer to own, a bit of classic audio history but the ultimate match for the 57s is the Radford MA15, they are light years ahead of the Quad11s but 3...
