Stax SR-X9000
I´ve heard the HE-1 two times at the HighEnd in Munich. The last time for about 30 minutes. To my ears it was like a sounded Stax 009. But we all know, that the music they choose for the demonstration, makes it hard to compare to other headphones. EQ a 009s on a BHSE or Carbon is 95% to...- karlgerman

STAX SR-009S new flagship electrostatic earspeakers released (with impressions)
Hi Andre, Some may say that i´m wrong so i can only speak for my hearing experience. To my ears, even i really like the sounding of Elektrostatic speakers, there will be some distortion at unhealthy high music loudness. I use a BHSE and a KGSS next to the original STAX AMP, so the amplification...- karlgerman

STAX SR-009S new flagship electrostatic earspeakers released (with impressions)
Bass and mid/high tone on the diaphragm will always lead to some distortion. That is why planar loudspeaker Manufacturer split the bass section to avoid that. The bigger the stroke on the diaphragm the worse it sounds. A lot of planar demos at the HighEnd Munich suffer from "the too loud"...- karlgerman

STAX SR-009S new flagship electrostatic earspeakers released (with impressions)
Hi, how loud is your preferred listening level? Imo electrostatic sytems are not made for very loud hearing and full range planar loudspeakers do have a problem with heavy bass and extreme dynamics at high hearing level. For me, one of the advantages of the 009/009s is the level of information...- karlgerman

STAX SR-009S new flagship electrostatic earspeakers released (with impressions)
They are very close to each other and i think the 009S get equal if you like to use more volume. Maybe the electrodes made that difference. I still feel the 009S is more sensestive or different in potential on good recording qualities. On better recording quality i like the 009S more.- karlgerman

STAX SR-009S new flagship electrostatic earspeakers released (with impressions)
I thought using my Esoteric D-02 as DAC and Preamp is the best way to feed my Amp´s, Loudspeaker and Headphone. Since i have a new Gruensch-audio Power-amp with no volume control in my system i was a little bit disappointed as i discovered a slight hum, generated by the DAC. So i had to add a...- karlgerman

The Stax Thread III
For the very short impression of the HE-1 i think it has some potential for a real deep bass and smooth, not to shrill heigh tone but still a lot detail. Yes, for my taste it sound better than my 009/BHSE combo but for a serious comparison of DAC/Amp/Headphone set, i would like to choose out...- karlgerman

What a happy day. They had the HE1, the MSB Stax-amp and the new STAX Flagship amp for testing at the Munich HighEnd show. Very subtile first impressions: the STAX Amp sounded flat on 009 and 007mkII, but that may result on music choice and quality they offered from the music server. MSB was...- karlgerman

The Stax Thread III
have the 4040 signature + srm 006tII-- and a 007 MKII and 009 now on BHSE. As the 009 was brand new on market my amp still was the 006mkII and that 009 was a dramatic change in over all sound quality. Upgrade to a d-02 DAC and a BHSE improved the system too but the 009 was the key component imo.- karlgerman

Who prefers the Sennheiser HD 800 over the STAX SR-009? (Whether overall or in certain categories.)
This is not a acceptable comparison to me. Source, DAC, the differences in Recording quality-- all that will never be the same as the original soundstage. The concert hall of the "mozart kuratorium augsburg" is about 5 minutes away from home, heard the competition winner´s of the violin...- karlgerman

The better the internal or external power supplies of the DAC AMP... are, the less important is the power conditioner imo. My D-02 has 4 excellent shielded transformer in a heavy Dac housing.

If one use a mac, there is a nice EQ implemented. Easy to get there using PureMusic for example. As we know, DAC´s and Amps manipulate the sound and if all parts fit to your personal taste a 009 is still best for me. Same for my loudspeaker system, which is electrostatic also. ...- karlgerman

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
I could imagine that the Orpheus2 will be best of the best, but as i heard from people who visit a preview session, the units existing are preproduction and not finished to 100% perfection. There is a distortion on some frequencies??? but some of the testers reviews ignore that. Hmmm,!!!! ...- karlgerman
