    The Stax Thread III

    Here's some quick pictures of the amp internals. Looks identical to the one in the thread I linked here. I'm a bit confused as to how to wire it up for 120V, although it appears to support that configuration! Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    The Stax Thread III

    Hi! I've got an SRM-1/MK2 I want to pre-emptively recap. I found https://www.head-fi.org/threads/stax-srm-1-mk2-re-cap.648596/, but have a few questions I was hoping people could answer! 1: I think I found the Panasonic FM EEU-FM1V471, I'm fairly certain amazon has them here. Digikey/Mouser...

    The Stax Thread III

    Hey guys, I've got a sr-202, and its cable seems to be going. Sound distorts when I move the cable around. I was wondering if I could use the cable from an sr-x mk2 as a replacement, and how hard it would be to perform the replacement. Thanks! I have a solder station, although not much...

    I've got a friend who has a pair or electrets. The srd-4 box for them has been modified for a TRS plug, and their current amp cannot power it. Is their a relatively cheap amp headphone amp that would be good for these? Cutting off the TRS plug and hooking it into a speaker amp would be a pain.

    Thanks, that's what I figured. Putting a metal take out tin on top of the amp seems to nearly eliminate the issue.

    I've got a quick question. I brought my SRD-X pro to the airport, and it seems to have a noise problem. The noise sounds just like the noise one would expect from an integrated DAC, so I think it's just electrical interference. Putting my hand over it stops the noise as well, and the noise...

    I'll put it in the stax storage bag when not in use, and when in use, well, it will be on my head. Thanks again for all the help.

    Thanks. If its not going to hurt them as long as I take care of it, I'll probably just leave it. Anything else I should do aside from covering it when not in use?

    Alright, thanks, I do plan on storing them in a Stax CPC1.

    Ok, so even if a bit of foam is gone, that will protect the drivers? Thanks. I do plan on taking care of them, but if I can avoid having to open and mess around with them, I'd like to. I'm getting one of those dust covers also, for when it's not in use. Is there anything else I should be doing...

    Alright, thanks for the help. I was more worried about them getting damaged from dust.
