Hi I have a new RSA XP-7. Power Cord suggestions? Ray used to suggest that nothing special was necessary. Is that still true? Thanks Jay

Hi All   I am new to the world of portable Audio. I just purchased a Ray Samuels Audion P-51 Mustang and his LOD Cable to use with my iphone and iPad.   Questions:   Any reasion why the LOD Cable is rather short? Do longer cables adversely affect the sound?     Are there LOD...

Hello   I have just ordered the P-51 Mustang to use with my Grado Headphones. I Have ordered the $125 LOD cable as well. While this is the preferred approach to using his headphone amp, is this the only way the amp can be used with the iphone?   Here is the problem:   I am using the...

Any idea what I might expect as potential Resale value should I decide to sell this amp ? Thanks Jay

Hi all- I am using the KGSS with the Omega II's and really loving it. Currently, I am using the Cardas Twinling power cord ($130). I would like to stay within the Cardas family, if at all possible and I am wondering if any of their more upscale power cords might be a better match with the...

Anyone in Japan ever hear about this? Thanks Jay

Those who have used / are using the Headamp KGSS Electrostatic headphone amp. Have you found the amp to benefit from after market footers? Thanks in advance, Jay

Hi Do you use your KGSS amp with the stock footers or have you found it to respond to after market footers? Thanks, Jay

Hi I have moved from the SRM 717 to the KGSS with my Omega II's. What volume setting do you usually listen at? Thanks, Jay

Is the KGSS Sensitive to after market footers or do most folks use it with the stock feet? Jay

When I log onto Head-fi, I keep being told that there is a problem with the site's security certificate, in that it does not match the site's name. Is anyone else getting this? what can be done? Jay

Mine should arrive tommorrow. I have been advised that it could take in excess of 250 hours. Is that correct? Any tips. I will be using an SRM 717. Thanks, Jay

I originally posted this on the headphone forum and I think this might be the better forum. I am having the opportunity to audition the KGSS and Omega II's and comparing that to my SRM 717 with the Omega II's and also my SR 404's My initial reactions: 1) The KGss bright with the 404's...

I am having the opportunity to audition the KGSS and Omega II's and comparing that to my SRM 717 with the Omega II's and also my SR 404's My initial reactions: 1) The KGss bright with the 404's 2) Compared to the SRM 717, the KGSS is much more transparant. 3) Sometimes the KGSS is too...

Hi all On the Omega II's you can rotate the pads so that the the thicker part in toward the back or front etc. What is the usual recommendation for the O2's regarding rotation of the ear cup? I am borrowing a pair fore evaluation and the owner was not sure. Any idea? Jay

I was surprised to read about 2 weeks ago on head-fi that someone who communicated with Stax Japan said the technician suggested a fairly long break-n. Maybe up to 6 months. Have you found this to eb the case? I am now continuously running my SRM 717/404 system (playing FM/CD), and do in...

Hi I am bothered by the midrange (2k) treble peak in the SR 404's, which I am currently running with the SRM 717. Would moving to a SRM 006 t II help? Would the 006t be a step down from the 717? Would I need to go to the 007t to get an equivilent level of overall performance? TIA...

I am using them with the Stax SRM 717 and I am very sensitive to their upper midrange peak. It bothers my ears at volumes over "4". Overall, I have come to realize that I prefer electrostatics over dynamic headphones. The advantage of the SR-404's are their amazing transparacy which allow...
