Question regarding literally physically stacking units. I just acquired a Cambridge dacmagic 200m coupled to a Stax SRM-400. I have it currently sitting on the back of the Srm-400, mostly on part that doesn’t have the vent, but overlaps the vent a little bit, maybe 1/2 inch. Would this cause a...

Oh oh I see what you mean. Yeah it’s dc through and through.

Aka off the battery? Does Stax offer replacement batteries for these? For future knowledge.

Question. What are the meaningful differences between the L-300 and L-700 physically. Besides that star brace on the L-700. To my naked (and no doubt amateur) eye. I don’t really see much difference. What is my curious eye missing. Yes to the ear overall the L-700 is better. A lot better But...

Question about the 400s, the iPhone directly cabled into rca through the little dongle thingy, doesn’t seem to have as much oompfh with the 400s as it did with the 252 and the d10, are these higher end amps harder to drive off something like a iPhone? Sound quality is ….. astounding but directly...

On a side note. Holy hell this thing is HUGE. Oh but does it ever have excellent control over what I guess is the stators. Currently testing it through the L-300 on the erm offchance something goes wrong, sadly rather fry a 400$ headphone vs a 1700$ one. It isn’t any louder, but the detail, I...

Ah so they are neon, I thought they looked like the ones sent with my tesla coil……so more of a power spike absorber….. unpacking it and looking inside through the vent…. Def is one nice set of kit. Never saw neon in a amp circuit before.

Listening to the L-300 vs the L-700 via same energizer, over all is complicated. Going strictly on sound, setting aside build, comfort, cabling, etc. Comparing the L-300 to the L-700 through the same amp, and same songs. The L-300 is more aggressive, with a hot treble, not sharper, it’s...

It’s amazing the step ups. From dynamic to planar mag, to estat. Before I got the L-300, the LCD-2 and the HE-5xx were the best sounding headphones I’ve ever had…… and the L-300 blew them all away in every way except bass, the LCD-2 still is the most subwoofer like headphone I have.

Ohhh I see, I wonder if that’s what helps with the soundstage size and projection.

Based on looks F is what I like.

😂🤣😂🤣😂 pure comedy

Yes yes I know I tend to be a thread necromancer….. but I had to look these up and I’ve been lmao at these dots for 5 mins. Omg 🤣😂🤣 these are like those bs holographic chip wrist bands from like 10 years ago hahahahaha *snort*

Definitely glad to learn about these nuances of this alien to me driver type before I accidentally do something stupid. The L-300, and 700mk2 simply sound astounding. Don’t want anything to happen to them. Bad thing about them however is 1: losing sleep jammin way past when I should zonk out...

Ohhhh I see, definitely good to know. Thanks 🙌🏻

Question for the future. Should dust somehow settle on the driver(the sides facing away from the ear), what would the safe way to clean and keep clean the stator? Or the pores? A gentle pc vacuum? I keep them in Stax headphone covers. The L-700 on a wood stand, the L-300 laying down inside the...

I’m not getting any kind of error, just not acting like it’s recognizing the d-10 as a dac. I’ll try it this weekend with the pc see if the dac section is working right. As a line in amp it is working great.

Interesting….

Just got in the Sr-L700/D-10 combo. Giving it a maiden listen. So far is wow. A very woooonderful sound overall. Just have to get the d-10 to work with my iPhone via the camera kit.

I tried the camera connection kit, and the Stax cable, the green light flashed, until I started a song, but no sound. The d-10 works fine in line out tho. When I can find it, I’ll try another cable see if it’s a possible bad cable. I have to say, the combo of the d-10 with the L700mk2 jeez...

Well I’ll be the sound does change a bit from first start, to after they’ve (Srs-3100) been running for a bit. To me this is very interesting. Depending on the song, how can I put this, they’re more aggressive, almost violent lol, and a little bit more loud in volume. Interesting. 🤔 As a...

For me it was when I got my first Walkman when I was a kid, and began trying different headphones with allowance money. Mostly Aiwa, Sony, and no name ones.

Stax sr-700mk2, and a d-10 energizer 💸💸💸💸

Tinny? Ibuds? No to me they’re just hollow mids and bass
