I could imagine the impression on the sides of the buds and the case of Dizzy's puffed up cheeks ((((o)))) !

From a marketing perspective, if these are comparible with the sound quality of the Tributes, they should have called them the Dizzy G Tributes with a different color to the cord. The name Trumpet sounds ordinary and cheap.

Some people can't walk and chew gum at the same time - and you can't blame the gum.   Laws are not made for the capable. They are made for people that just need one thing more to do to cause mayhem. If the CAPABLE don't follow the law, then why should the idiots?  We ALL have suffer a little...

After only about a year of use (I have several other headphones that I use also) the thin cable is going open on one channel. I'd send it to AT for them to fix but I want a thicker gauge cable so I don't end up with the same trouble, so I don't think they would do a custom job. I don't have the...

ROTFLMAO!!     Re cellphone radiation:  A new book is out called DISCONNECTED; very interesting!

Thanks Anaxilus; The Meelec small one piece did the trick after trying about five different brands! 

@moonsurf; you need to save up for a portable amp/dac  to use if you have a laptop PC. I have the Headamp Pico in gold (it comes in other cool colors too) which sounds as good as it looks. It is a DAC as well as an amp, so you will hear better sound from an external DAC than any internal sound...

Thanks; I think I'll try Woo Audio.    Audio Consultants (the one in Hinsdale) wasn't really unhelpful, as they did try to contact Stax on my behalf in years past. They did let me know that since the founder of the company passed away, alot of things have seemed to change, communications...

It just confounds me that they would not have someone answering the phone; if not, just close shop & operate from Japan!

I have been trying to call Stax in California on and off now for months, to try and get an extension cable for my Lambda Signatures. I was lucky once last year and someone answered the phone, so I was able to order a new bracket, but ever since it just goes to the answering machine and I get...

The stand does look nice, but it will create over time two indentations on the headband. I would think a smooth top of some sort would have been better.

It reminds me of the commercial on TV, where they show how people justify the crazy cost of some things and show a tube amp and the guy says that "it reproduces sound that only dogs can hear".   The way they number their headphones is crazy; the Ed-8 sound is better than the Ed-9, so if it...

How does one get the Ear Guides on the cable? Does it have a slit on the side which enables it to be pressed in? Also did you have to try alot of different eartips or did you get lucky early on? I'm using the Comply foams which finally feel secure, after trying about three types of silicone...

After listening to all my other cans, I more and more appreciate how good the ES7's are. Not as good surely, but not that bad either. And for how they look (after you bend them to conform to your head) you just can't do better. If they hurt, then put them around a bunch of DVD cases until...
