Yes, I heard them at this years Munich High End Show. I feel in love with them quickly. I can't wait to take delivery of my pair in a couple of weeks. 

It's been a while since I attended this show. 2011 to be exact. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Liked the sound; perhaps even more than the SR 009. You really can't beat the price of these either. I bought a pair of each and am awaiting delivery. Sorry that I have been away from Headfi for a while. Nice to be back. 

4N6- Well I will bet there is a McIntosh formula that would sound better that the MHA 100. I must admit that I have only tried the MHA 100 system once with the McIntosh headphones and I thought the sound was good but not excellent. If you think that the total system-amp and headphones are well...

Just checking in to say hi to the contributors of this thread. Has anyone thought of a McIntosh alternative to buying the new McIntosh MHA 100 Headphone amp. Maybe a pair of MC 501s and then a nice McIntosh preamp with a heaphone output would sound pretty nice and for a lot less money. Are there...

CONTINUED THANKS TO EVERYONE AT HEADFI.

i just wanted to let everyone know that I have changed my avatar to reflect my most recent award/accomplishment. 

WOW- I didn't know our visit, tour and interviews had created so much more interest on headfi. Thanks for the great responses and interest. I am continuing my travels and have attended many more audio shows including Axpona 2014, Capital Audiofest 2014 and soon to cover the New York Audio Show...

Thanks.

I have a six pin male that is attached to a six pin female Stax extention cable.  The inner wires of the six pin female part has become detached.  Can you tell me the proper configuration of the wires; so that I can re attach them with solder.  there are three white wires and three red wires...

I Think I am just going to buy a cheap speaker amp on ebay to use with my new Stax ESP 9s. This would be a simpler solution.  Thanks for your advice.

Here is my system.          

I own a number of Stax Sigmas.  About two years ago, two of my Sigma Pros died on me.  It seems that you can't mix vintage Stax headphones with new Stax amplifiers,  You also should come to the  realization that if you are using vintage Stax headphones, it might not be wise to crank the volume...

I WILL BE THERE. PUT ME ON THE LIST.  THANKS

Perhaps you can get a better sound on both the new and old HD 800s by tweeking other parts of the signal line- ie cables- cd quality- amplifiers.  I can't understand how someone can say that the old HD 800s have no bass.  My old pair of HD 800s are just fine in the bass department.  I will bet...

Anyone enjoying their Stax 4070s.  I do like these.

I have a number of Stax Sigmas both pro and non pro.  I have one Sigma Pro and four Sigma non Pros. I used to have two more Sigma Pro's but my amp ate them up.  I love listening to my Sigma non pros with my SRA 12S.  I

Sorry I will have to miss this meet as my band is playing live on that day.  Dam!

STILL ENJOYING MY STAX HEAPHONE AND AMP COLLECTION.  IT'S BEEN A WHILE.  Just checking in to say hi.

YOU CAN'T MIX PRO AND NON PRO OUTLETS.  YOU MUST USE SIGMA SIX PIN TO STAX SIX PIN AMP AND YOU MUST USE SIGMA PRO FIVE PIN WITH A STAX PRO AMP WHICH HAS FIVE PINS.  IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL DAMAGE EVERYTHING. 

My broken pairs of Sigma Pros are in non working condition.  Additionally, each earspeaker is detached from it's cable as is the cable that is attached to the amplifier.  It is pure junk.  It seems as though you can not attach a vintage pair of Stax Pro headphones to a Stax Pro Amplifier such as...

As I once mentioned before- I wore my Sigmas on the NYC subway system once.  I had it hooked into my SRD pro.  The looks were totally amazing. Sorry I don't have any pictures.

With the Stax SRA 12S Amp- The non pros are deeper, smoother, and clearer.  The Stax Sigma Pros have a higher bias so therefore the highs are accentuated which has very little value to me and probably others.  The Stax Sigma non pros have a lower bias which accentuates the Bass.  I have both Pro...

I have also come to the conclusion that the Sigma non pro is better sounding the the Sigma Pro.

Well, I also had two pair of Sigma pros that have broken; so I didn't include those in my count.  The Sigma non pros go really well with a vintage SRA-12S amp; not one that has been modified.  I started a Headfi-Stax Sigma tribute thread about four years ago.  I think that under the right...
