Long awaited Smyth SVS Realiser NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Forgive me if I am totally mistaken, but why are you using the Dr.HDMI on the output? The whole issue I had was the 8 channel recognition with pc/mac between the Realiser and the multi channel output source, I put the HDMI Detective in between them with a preset EDID and it was then able to...- struggles

The Stax thread (New)
I am just about out the door, I can get better pictures later, these came off an early (702xx) 007, the others are from a new mk2. There is an audible difference between them. edit: the lighter weave is from the early mk1, the heavier is from the newer mk2 , I should have...- struggles

The Stax thread (New)
With the descriptions of the 007 versions mentioned, I do not see much talk about which dust cloth is being used with them? A member here posted about this which led me to take a look at mine, there is quite a difference when comparing the two. I am currently using the thinner cloth with the mk2...- struggles

I´ve been ruined by the Stax SR-009 sound
Quote: I believe that Spritzer/KGilmour have both commented on this, that a modded 727 is their best sounding current production amp, along the lines of a more powerful 323. I prefer the 323 to 727 in stock form, I feel it is a well balanced little amp, especially for $1000 less I...- struggles

Quote: I think many would agree here that the 323s is the preferred current production Stax amp in stock form. I bought mine as a secondary amp and have been pleasantly surprised.- struggles

Quote: The impressions I have on the 009/007 comparison could not have been better stated than in Asr's mini review. Please note that I am only speaking from my amp experience, not top tier amps, and as you can see, not everyone agrees. I actually purchased the 009's after reading...- struggles

Quote: My wife calls me "Pumpkin Head", I purchased an older pair of 007's and the head pad was completely stretched, I did use the band temporarily, which did work for me. I ordered a new head pad, feels more secure to me but it does stretch fairly close to the band. Think you may have me...- struggles
