Corsonus Kodachi - new electrostatic amplifier
Nice looking small unit, I like that (and the visible valves!). The sound description reminds me what I say about my tiny SRA-3S. And the price is a bit more accessible than other electrostat amps. Unfortunately, I cannot reach their website at the moment. But what worries me again, and again ...- Benoit62

Stax amp makes strange noises sometimes
I am the happy owner of a Stax SRA-3S amp (rebuilt -all recapped- by the seller, purchased some years ago, and used from time to time).

Stax sr-x missigne treble
Hello, 2 or 3 years ago, I bough a second hand SR-X (Mk2 I guess) in a great shape (just had to buy new original pads), beside a pair of normal bias Lambda. I did not listen to it very often in the begining, however just noticed a (discrete) treble roll-off, compared to the Lambdas I own, but...- Benoit62

Stax SRD7 SB MK2 small treble issue

I made the external bias test and had surprising results (I used an old Lambda wire to "feed" the headphones from a SRD7 box, this giving me the perfect plug...) 1) I was very...- Benoit62
