Do you apply those same relaxed standards to regular headphone amps? Does it matter if a normal headphone amp rolls off in the high... -
The Lambdas are appealing, also the older ones - but every single one of them have what I call the Lambda-coloration in the midrange, a...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.I've done 'small signal' impedance measurement on the Stax phones using an LCR meter and they are very close to a pure capacitive...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.Unlike the dynamic headphones, the estat is a capacitive load. It doesn’t require much current at all at low frequencies. The amp’s...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.Try to listen to the cymbal, and see if you can hear the sound of the wood stick hitting the metal, or just a burst of white noise with...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.It’s true that there is little information >18kHz in recorded music. How important that is depends on the individual. It would be much...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.Anyone who is able to tell between 44.1k CD audio and hi-res should be able to notice the difference. In the early times of digital...

Why does the STAX community seemingly take pride in obfuscating this info down in the depth of a thread somewhere unreachable by Google...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.That’s fine as a consumer. But if there is solid evidence showing that our preferred sound is actually inferior in terms of fidelity...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.Some of the so called “transformer measurement against direct drive amp” doesn’t even include proper harmonic distortion measurements...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.Well, different people pay attention to different aspects of the sound and of the music. So what are considered by someone as ‘a lot of...

simmconn replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.The transformer will likely become the bottleneck, regardless if driven by a 200W amp or a 300W one. Compared to a well executed...

I'm in the camp that did not find the X9000 to be sterile at all. If anything, it immediately captivated me and made me enjoy listening...

Sorry, but this imho is nonsense and only your very personal view. Not mine at all. For me, the X9k is the most "musical" of all...

I agree that normally (if limited power is taken out of the equation) it is not possible by pure amp selection to turn a headphone into...
