The Stax Thread III
Ampere, in this case Milliampere, respectively, is a measure of current. From the top of my head, a stock SRM-717 outputs approx. 7mA. It's rated for a max output level of 450V RMS, that in reality is exceeded by most units. Implementing CCS in a T1/T1S/006t increases the max output level to or...- Firschi

The Stax Thread III
In a stock T1/T1S only approx. 0.5-3mA of signal current remains for the headphones. As a result of the CCS modification, only ~2.8mA current is "consumed" by the feedback resistors, leaving 6.8-9.2 mA available to drive the headphones.- Firschi

It is not, as power in general is the product of voltage and current. The previous post roughly outlines their relationship in the STAX context.- Firschi

I believe you that you think that is the case. Measurements support my statement, though.- Firschi

The Stax Thread III
Many people have done and published such mods on multiple platforms. It certainly helps with the infamous STAX fart. However, while it adds kick-bass, I reduces or even kills sub-bass (more or less).- Firschi

Stax SRM-T1 Repair, Re-Cap, Mod
I certainly won't use this tube again, that's for sure. Since the amp was moved and I shaked around the tube itself a bit, I can't tell what exactly was shorted against what. The chip is not attached to anything, in moves freely, more or less. In your experience, what short would explain high...- Firschi

Stax SRM-T1 Repair, Re-Cap, Mod
I guess you're right, Kevin. Should have looked at the tube more closely before posting. The chip is very, very thin, though, and also very shiny on one side. That's why I confused it for getter material. One piece of it even made it to the lower deck.- Firschi

Stax SRM-T1 Repair, Re-Cap, Mod
Has anybody ever seen getter (?) material chipping off 6S4A tubes for no apparent reason before? Any idea what the root cause is? Balance of the affected channel is about 275V now, even after replacing the tube, yikes. Offset can be adjusted to about 0V.- Firschi

To be precise, I paused selling CCS modules for now. Keep in mind, this is not a beginner's mod.- Firschi

I bet the two grub screws are still in place inside the threading but need to be tightened. You'll need a 2,5mm hex head screw driver to do so.- Firschi

When you only twist them they will always untwist themselves in my experience. The trick is to manually cross the individual strands over and over again as if you were braiding them.- Firschi
