    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Good idea. Took me a few tries, but I think I've crimped it hard enough this time to stay on for a while.

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    After 4 years, the threaded ring (left side) on my HE400 stock cable has broken. The cable still mates with the headphone receptacle, but there is only friction keeping the connector inserted; the threaded section is no longer attached to the connector. . Is this easily repaired by soldering...

    Stax portable rig..??Thread Closed

    The SRD-P and SRD-X are portable amps for Pro and Normal bias Stax, respectively. I have one of each. They are heavy, since for portable use they require eight C-Cell batteries. You can alternately use an AC adaptor.   Here's some pics of the SRD-P (My SRD-X is at the office).      ...

    The Stax Thread III

    Some models of the SRM-1/MK2 have both Pro and Normal Bias.     Shop carefully, because I've seen models with 2 outputs the same (¿Pro?).

    Vintage Stax repair and maintenance

    I appreciate the sentiment, but my goal structure appears to be different than yours. :-) - I bill my time at more than $50/hour. - I didn't want to take the effort to figure how to open the earspeakers without cosmetic damage. These are my first pro-bias Stax, new to me, and I want them to...
