    STAX SRS-X1000 and SR-X1 Now Available to Pre-Order At HeadAmp!

    Good question, especially since I had no need of repair fortunately. Newer or current models can get a bad driver replaced. As to fixing a driver I really think it would be a matter of the particulars.

    STAX SRS-X1000 and SR-X1 Now Available to Pre-Order At HeadAmp!

    Over the years most Stax phones were plastic overall but I never once had and issues with the build. They are light and comfortable and are not delicate just feel like they are. I currently have about a dozen “ear speakers”, my first was purchased late 70’s and was the SR-Xmk3 which I have...

    Excellent amp and one of the very Best Stax amps for the power hungry Stax SR-007mk 1 (a real fan favorite) and the SR-007 mk2. Amp looks very clean and the price is very nice. This will do a great job with any pro bias Stax or even other brands of electrostatic phones. I love mine and...

    Too bad, that would have been interesting to know. At the time I had quite an array of different cartridges (the better to know them). Grado phono cartridges were (and are) very popular and were known to deliver a really good midrange, sound natural and were all very good values. Values that...

    It is quite the interesting design and excels at pluming deep, detailed bass due to all the technology employed to rid the sound of any resonances. Glad to hear from someone who knows the arm. I was working at a good shop in NYC at the time and the arm was not being brought in from Japan. We...

    At the moment I don’t have either of my turntables hooked up for lack of room. I do have a fairly large collection of cd’s and my player for that is a Theta DS Pro Basic III CD transport connected to a Theta Data Basic II DAC. This combo works wonderfully and keeps me quite happy with this as...

    The Stax Thread III

    I know my SR-007 mk1 sure does put a BIG smile on my face. My SR-Xmk3 Pro does much the same.

    Grado Fan Club!

    I’m not up to 200 hours yet but I have heard improvements in the upper bass detail and additional impact albeit not mega. Its spacious and airy presentation can be addicting as it does it so well. I also benefit from having a decent number of amps to switch between and I think that it is more...

    Already looking like one happy family, notice the roundness of the faces…you can start a Grado wing in your place.. maybe you should offer to buy the loaner you’ve been listening to.

    Grado Fan Club!

    The former TOTL PS2000e has the best bass capability in depth, detail and impact. It scales nicely so the amp and source are part of the full package. Some of the class D amps in a reasonable price range come up short in the regard. Fine tuning the placement of the cups on your ear may...

    As I have an ad I placed for a friend to sell his virtually as new set with box I have been giving it some play time I am find the same attributes and it has been improving, the bass also. Very open, airy sound, lots of quality details. Extremely comfortable. Hoping to find a good home for...

    Comment by 'ESL-1' on listing '[PD] Stax SR-X Mk3'

    A True Classic. Can deliver nice doses of a reality that is not present in many current more expensive phones. Good price as the value of this model has risen in the last few years especially in Japan. I have a back up at home otherwise I would be sorely tempted to grab this. High praise for...

    I gather you checked for any wiring or loose connection issues. Oops, just noticed the detached diaphragm. If you haven’t reached out to Grado I suggest doing so and see what they suggest. Good luck, excellent phone. Maybe you can find someone in the same situation and doesn’t want to...
