Selling my Zodiac Gold with its matching Voltikus PSU in excellent condition. This DAC has served me well with many hours of music enjoyment. I am seling it only after I found another DAC with as many features & connections as this one. The Zodiac has many inputs and outputs and doubles as a...

Amazing writing, darth nut. Tahnks so much. I must read it again, very carefully. I only have experience with the first 3 Omegas.

Hello Kasper. I found your question here when I was looking for something. I have a Leben CS600 since circa 1 year and I also have a CS300XC. These amps are stellar and well above their price category. Now coming to your questions. I love tube rolling. The Leben does not need a quad, on paper...

I bought a second unit of ES R-10 purely as backup. I guess that defines what is the end of the line, when you buy more of what you already have instead of aspiring to upgrade. I listen the ES R-10 more and more with tube amplifiers.

Hello there. I got my ES LAB R-10 a few days ago and I have been enjoying them since. My unit is n.25. When I ordered my ES R-10 I did not find any info online except the Chinese sites linked in the manufacturer website. Now I found this thread, which is only 5 days old as of this writing...

The amp is sold

Great buyer

Update: price revised. It includes now payment fees. Hello. I am selling my KGSSHV amp made by Spritzer (Mjolnir Audio). I own it since 2016. The amp has both balanced and single ended inputs, as well as outputs. It has one Stax pro jack in the front. It is a 230V unit. The amp works...

Thanks! That worked. I had one of those laying in the house and I did not think of it. Good idea! Arturo

Hello. I received my A16 unit in September (I am a KS backer) but only in Xmas I had time to play with it. I managed to set up one PRIR with the async method and the files in this thread. Thanks a lot for that! I also created several HPEQ files for some headphones. The loudmanEQ is a must. At...

I passed one order on 1 July. PJ sent me an email with the order details and I instructions for payment. I wired them the money the same day. Afterwards nothing. I sent them an email one week later but they did not reply.   I want to believe they are a small operation and they closed for...

This is a great thread. There is my experience so far:   I modded my Stax Lambda 404 as on pg 1 of this thread with sorbothane duro 30 1/4 thick. The change of sound was immediate and to me an improvement. Tighter sound, more focused image, slight increase of bass (probably related to the...

500 pages reached! Congratulations, thread!   A testimony of an outstanding product.

First I got the 007 and then the 009. When I got the 009 I thought it was a massive improvement over the 007. There is so much detail detail retrieval and it is so much forward that it is like "looking to the music through a microscope". But when the wow factor faded I kept coming back to the...

I use the 009 and 007 with the BHSE and also the GS-X Mk2 with the HD800. They are all superb but the 009 and 007 are better, smoother and faster. However the HD800 detail retrieval and soundstage is second to none. I use the GS-X for short listening sessions, e.g. if I get a spare half hour...

I want one cyclotron under my garden

Wow, amazing contribution. Thanks a lot for the very developed article. It takes a lot of work to write something like this. Much more informative than the impressions we see around here.

I confirm I received a shipping notification from Justin for my 230V amp this night (I found it this morning in my inbox).

  My advice is that you buy a second-hand Stax amplifier and you use it until the BHSE arrives. Then you can sell the Stax amp almost at the price you paid for it.   My upgrade path was: Lambda 404 and Stax 007tII (which I bought from different owners), then I bough a SR007A, then BSHE, then...

I concur with negura: 009 plus mid-tier amp. I reported about a 4-way comparison of mine before in this thread. However it all depends on which sound signature you like best, the 007 or the 009 one. The ampli will not change that.

I would like to share my experience about what matters more between amps or cans. Some months ago I bought a Stax SR-009 and I compared it with my SR-007A and the two amps I had at the time: Stax SRM-007tII and BHSE. I compared them four ways, i.e. each can with each amp. It helped that I was...
