    For sale are my Stax Lambda Professional with SRM-1/MK-2 driver unit. Both are in excellent condition and were purchased in the early 1990s, so they are amongst the last units produced, I guess. The earspeakers got new pads and a new headband in 2021, and the left driver was fixed/replaced by...

    The Stax Thread III

    With all this discussion around the differences between the SR-007 MkI and MkII, I was wondering about the potential of parametric EQ in reducing or even eliminating the differences... so might it be possible to make a MkII sound like an early MkI by using EQ? Any experiences with this?

    The Stax Thread III

    Hi everyone, I have quite a small head, so even in the smallest setting, my Lambda Pro is still a bit too large for me. At the moment, I put a small towel on my head to solve that :) Can anyone recommend an aftermarket headband padding or something of that sort that works well with Stax? I live...

    Because of upgrading to the Pro-Version, I am selling my RME ADI-2 DAC FS (AKM Version) in excellent condition. The DAC was bought in November 2020 at Thomann in Germany - invoice is included. I am the second owner and non-smoker. Both optically and technically, the RME is in perfect condition...

    Then just build some more units of the "normal" version, I'd be more than happy with that! :)

    Thanks for your replies. Ifi just got back to me, recommending not to use such high-powered amps with their device... as they write in their manual

    iFi Audio Pro iESL - The Official Thread

    In the manual, it is mentioned that when connecting a power amp to the iESL, its output power should not exceed 100W @8Ohm. Does anyone have experience with connecting higher-powered amps to this thing? I have an Audiophonics HPA 400ET with around 225W @8Ohm. Could this still work?

    Hi everyone, I'm selling my Hegel H300 integrated amp, which I've used as the hub of my stereo speaker system for several years. I bought this as a demo unit, so I'm the first owner and always treated the amp very carefully - so, as you can see on the photos, it's in excellent condition. Remote...

    The Stax Thread III

    You know what, I actually suspect that something like that may have caused the channel imbalance in my case as well! The seller swears that the headphones were working perfectly, and they have been professionally cleaned and got new earpads just last May. Either the pressure change or the...

    The Stax Thread III

    Thanks for all your replies so far. I just phoned the man who would do the repair, and he said it might be that renewing the membrane on the left side might in the end result in an imbalance again, as then the right side might be quieter. No way to say before, so optimally both membranes would...

    The Stax Thread III

    Hi everyone, although my dad gave me his old SR-X Mk.III with the SRD-7 SB energizer many years ago, I still feel relatively new to the Stax party. So here is a question for you: I recently bought a Lambda Pro with SRD-1 Mk.II Pro, both of which spent most of the time since their purchase in...

    Cayin iHA-6 - US Tour and reviews

    I never disconnect my headphones before powering on/off the amp. No problems so far. I'm also still very impressed with this amp. It might not have the level of detail of, let's say, an RME ADI-2 or a Topping A90, but the high current function just sounds so great with planars!

    Cayin iHA-6 - US Tour and reviews

    Interesting to read about your comparison between the Burson Soloist 3xp and the Cayin! Can you elaborate a bit more about how the two compare? It reads like they have quite a similar sound signature.

    SOLD! The unit is 1 year old and was bought from Audiophonics, so it still has warranty. It is in perfect condition, both technically and optically - not a single scratch anywhere. The A90 comes in the original box with all accessories. I'm situated in Germany, and will ship anywhere in the EU...

    DAC/Amp synergies with Meze Empyrean

    Thanks for sharing your experience! Amps that I read about again and again in connection with the Empyreans are the Flux Labs FA-10 and the Feliks Audio Euforia. Two different approaches, but both seem to harmonize really well with the Empyreans. Anyone has experience with those, maybe even...

    DAC/Amp synergies with Meze Empyrean

    Hi everyone, I've sifted through quite a few threads on a lot of different forums/review pages, looking for amps, DACs + amps, and integrated DAC-amps that have a good synergy with the Meze Empyrean. In doing so, I didn't find a thread that summarizes all this information, so here we go :) If...

    Cayin iHA-6 - US Tour and reviews

    Would be interested in reading your impressions, particularly on the comparison between iHA-6 and Burson C3XR. Just compared the Cayin with the Topping A90, and to me the Cayin is the winner - better deep bass, almost the same level of detail, and better stage depth.

    Topping A90

    I have both the iHA-6 and the A90, and have compared both using the Meze Empyrean. The iHA-6 has a fuller bass and better stage depth, in my opinion. A90 has slightly better detail, particularly in the treble area (more "airy"), and overall sounds more analytical/clinical, which makes it sound...

    Topping A90

    +1. There is one single report of an A90 failing, and John from Topping specifically said that the reason for the failure can't be the same as for the L30, as they have a completely different design. My D90/A90 stack is functioning well since day one, and I'm very happy with it.
