Hi Hirsh I just read your views re Raytheon tubes for Stax T1 which you posted a few years ago. i am tossing between toshiba NOS at $50 a matched pair n mazda by Brimar at twice the cost. From your experience between the two ,can you pease give me a brief run down on their sound...

Hi Anyone know what sound characteristics comes from a set of MAZDA 6cg7/6fq7 which I am looking at to replace the old tubes in my SRMT1? Cheers

has anyone heard a pair of MAZDA 6cg7/6fq7 by Brimar UK on a stax T1 AMP? WHAT is the sound like?

My T1 has still the original Japanese "Golden Arrows for Stax" tubes in them. the sound is " ok." since I have no other similar amp to make a direct comparison.The set would be at least 20 years old by now .! Is it time to change the tubes? Are tubes "used by" time dependent or "usage hours"...

Hi  There is a mis info re the Stax factory 6CQ7 tubes price. My apologies.The cost is $US 75 for a pair with golden pins. That's quite costly . Cannot obtain any Toshiba or Matsusita as recommended by Spritzer. Wonder what is next best? please advise.

I am also looking to replace the Golden Arrow Stax tubes in my T1. I cannot find any Toshibas or Matsu****a tubes on eBay. Almost ordered RCA cleartops until I read this tread n Spritzers advice. I wrote to Stax dealer in Asia n was told the factory Stax tubes with gold pins retails for US 75...

Wow... at that kind of price, aside from pure sentiments, the technical aspects off the latest 009 is superior and cost less to buy new!! is it like a cult to own one cos it is no longer in production n only 500 plus pairs floating in the world ...so it is rare. status symbols perhaps. Also...

Thanks for feed back re the SR Omega.... no wonder it is commanding such a high resale value.! There was one advertised a few weeks back from Europe asking for US $4k..Wow. Cheers.

Hi Spritzer. In your opinion, how good is the original SR Omega since you had them before. compared to the more recent Stax ear Speakers like the 507 or the 009? They rarely come up on eBay n when they do, the asking price seems to run to thousands!! will it sound good on the SRM t1? Thanks for...

Hi.. Where to locate the for sale forum? how much are you asking for your set of stax? thanks

Hi Dave bsc I am thinking of getting a stax amp for to drive the original SR Omega 1,, would you think the 323s  or the srm T1 is better? have you heard them or do you own the 323s?

Hi Milosz Whats your appraisal of the T1 and the lambda pro vs the SRM1 /mk2 pro ? wonder if it sounds better than the newer 323s solid state?

Given a choice of buying a new Sr323s and a second hand Srm T1 amp for about the same price.(the T1 is slightly cheaper) to drive the original SR Omega 1, which is the better option? very much appreciate your feed backs ..
