Omega knock off stand, which is best choice
Yes, these are the two main styles of inexpensive wood holders available on eBay. Many vendors but I assume each style probably comes from the same source. I don't expect he finish to be top notch but I was just wondering if anyone had tried either and if there was a reason to go for one over...- bikeaudioguy

Omega knock off stand, which is best choice
Right now I can get either of these at a very decent price on eBay. Does anyone have any comments on based on actual experience? I am not looking for another option, or DIY advice, just actual thoughts on either of these for use with my Kef M500. Thank you for looking. This type: or...- bikeaudioguy

FiiO X3 Original vs 2nd Gen

The Entry Level Stax Thread
I knew those test CDs would come in handy some day. I dug out the Stereophile Test Disc 2 and tried the spot frequency tone tracks.

The Entry Level Stax Thread
Thanks for the replies. I have read about the SB needing to be on for long periods of time. I have also read that if they come up to full volume in a few seconds as mine do they will not benefit from any more time switched on. I can't say I notice a big difference when run for a long time.

I am in need of some help and guidance from veteran Stax users.I recently acquired a SR-5/ SRD-6SB set. I have been wanting a Stax set since way back when the store at worked at used to sell them, about 25 years ago! These are wonderful on good recordings. Many of the magic qualities I...- bikeaudioguy
