Quote:   Very interesting Kevin! Where can one obtain the schematics of SRM 727 amp? I would be really interested.   In the real life, what makes the differences between the Stax amps and the KG versions if the schemes are the same? What could be the flaws in the Stax designs making...

Hi all   Do you know if there is any thorough  measurements comparing the performances of Stax amplifiers (727) vs others somewhere on the web?   Have a nice WE   olivier

waiting for the CR!!   OS

Quote: Thanks for your answer. So it's all in the feedback design (claimed as a enhancement in Stax adverts!). Why did they do that???   If you have these measurements somewhere, please do not hesitate, and comparisons with references such as 717 or KGSS should be really interesting...

Hello everybody   I can read everywhere that the stax srm727 is badly designed, bad sounding and non linear. However, I can't find a post with measures demonstrating or explaining this in details. It is said that the design is bad, but in what does it differ from the 717 for example?  ...

Hello I've been using a SR007 for two years now and the sound has suddenly lowered down in the right side. After some checkings; it appears that the problem appears when the right end of the cable moves. I suspect a bad connection to one of the electrodes. Has anybody experienced the same...

Cabasse multicoax speakers!

Hello guys Is there any experience here trying to compare those two amplifiers as far the OmegaII headphone is concerned? The 727 will be soon launched in Europe and I am wondering if the 727 is worth the extra money Thank you Olivier Olivier

No , they didn't tell me what was the problem. It was the same as for you: when I send it, the buzz did not appeared very often. I think they knew the problem, here is the answer: Stax Germany: I am very sorry for my late answer but I was on a business trip. Your SRS 3030 set has reached...

Sorry Don Quichote. I don't know why but I was sure you did live in the US! I saw your profile after having wrote my reply! So you may be interseted in Stax germany service repair for your own stax. The only possibilities are Japan, Germany and the US t repair such an headphone! Cheers...

Hello As I promised, here are the details for the repairing of my SR 303. Stax Germany changed my SR 303 for a new one. I was a little bir afraid cause the sound troubles used to appear not so often. They have detected the technical problem very fastly. I talk about your own SRS 3030...

Do you think it is possible to remove the foam and pads from the SR303 earspeaker? I ws adviced to do it to remove a putative loosing hair that may touch the membrane. Now, considering the overall sound of my system, I WAS agree with catscratch and Thesloth before the last WE. However, the...

Thank you for all these responses! The buzz appears whatever the volume setting. My 3030 is brand new so I will return it for a complete checking in. As far as the sonic signature is concerned, my CD player is a naim CDX which is not thin at all in its sonic presentation. Moreover, this thin...

Hello dear Headfiers! My new stax SRS 3030's been burning in for about 50 hours and I noticed two problems: 1- There is a little "buzzzz" sound in the right earspeakers that sometime disappears or changes of tone when I gently tape on it with my finger. This noise is annoying and occures...

This is a very important data for me Russell! Thank you for your response. I currently use a HD600 Corda HA2 cardas cable system and it is still better than my 15 hour old stax system! Much more natural (on natural voices). But I feel that the stax has a great potential. Olivier

My sources are a Naim CDX player and a class A tube tuner. Thank you for the advices. My Stax has been running for 10 hours now and bass are really present. However, I still find the medium a little bit artificial: plastic sounding on voices and natural instruments (I listen to classical music...

Hello stax users (and others) I just received my new stax 3030 and I feel that the medium is a little bit "pinched" or coloured!!! (nosy or "plastic" sound). Is it the famous stax sound or a burning in period is necessary??? Thank you very much for your help Olivier

Hello everybody I wonder what headphone is sonically the best choice for a portable use between Etys 6r, Shure E3C and sennheseir HD25. I listen to classical music, opera, jazz and sometime r and r. Thanks for your help§ OS
