Hi,   I am in search of an amplifier in the $1,000 -$2,000 price range to drive my Audeze LCD-XC's.  I am looking for a desktop system for the house.   My requirements:   a. Sufficient power (clipping sucks) b. DAC capable of DSD 2x decoding or better c. A balance control or individual...

I am kind of surprised that there is hardly a mention of the BlueAnt Ribbon on the HF website. I wasn't sure where to post this. It's not a headphone, an amp or a source component. It's a bluetooth streamer; a connector and mic so you can use any headphone or IEM with a Bluetooth enabled audio...

Good afternoon,   I do not write often on this board but read quite often.  I have been a fan of STAX for a number of years (since 1976).  My first earspeakers were SRX MkIII with an SRD-7, these were followed by Lambda  Pro’s, Lambda Pro Signature which I still use and a pair of SR-003.  I...

Does the FM adaptor suck the battery almost dry if connected with the i-Pod off (standby??) or is my battery just failing like all of you said that it would?

Does your combination sound kind of dull and lifeless to you, not all of a sudden, but not as good as it sounded the day it won you over? CHANGE THE FILTERS AND EAR TIPS. You will be amased at the difference and ask yourself why didn't I do this weeks ago?

I was wondering if anybody has any experience or suggestions for video transfer programs from dvr-ms format to iPod and PSP. I have both and would like to buy one program just to make it easy. I do not need DVD transfer compatibility, mainly just for transfer from TV (Windows Media Center) so I...

I am moving this to another forum.

Ya know, you guys drive me nuts. OK, so I got a gift certificate from the boss to a particular “mall store” that sells air purifiers, massagers, and other doohickeys. So I said, “Hey, I’ll get me one of those fancy-dancey i-pods”. I picked out the 5G 30gb in black to match my Etymotic...

If you are like me the screen on my PSP is something that I want to protect. I tried one of those plastic stick-on things but I couldn't solve the bubble problem. At Target today I found a cool thing. It is a hinged cover that connects by by two thumb screws on either side of the USB port. Sony...

OK, so like the main menu background was this cool green color and now all of a sudden it's red! How did I change this?

OK, I know you are sitting at the PC and listening to headphones. So what do you have on? In case you are interested I am listening to the Dish Network satellite feed of blues (currently John Lee Hooker doing a duet with Van Morrison).

I used to live on the Westside of LA and really miss it. I miss going to the Venice boardwalk on Saturday afternoon with all the folks. I miss Hollywood Bl and all the stars on the walk of fame. I miss City Walk, at night, the Third Street Promenade, Century City, Rodeo Drive, the Farmer’s...

My wife is doing the AVON Walk for Breast Cancer Research in San Francisco this weekend. She raised over $2000.00 for this very worthwhile cause and is walking a marathon (26.2 miles) over two days. My sons and I are very proud of her accomplishment and amazed by her commitment to this very...

Hi forum members, I need to get an extension cord for my Stax SR-404's. I would like to go with the 5 meter cable rather than the 2.5 meter. There are two 5 meter cables available from Audiocubes. One is the old style, "round" type, and the other is the more modern flat cable. I was wondering...

Hi, I have been reading this forum for the past few months and have seen recurrent themes about Stax and repair. It appears from the communications that the Stax phones purchased from Japan cannon be serviced in the USA (Yama’s), whether in warranty or not. I do not care for this policy but...

Hi, My SR 404 Signatures showed up today while I was at work. After hearing some of the negative comments made in the past few days I had some second thoughts regarding the purchase. Please also understand that I like Stax phones (if I say phones I mean earspeakers, it’s easier to type phones...

Hi, I have had the Stax SR-003 for about 2 months and have really liked them. I have been using them with the supplied headband. I keep reading that they are an "in the canal" earphone, maybe like the Etymotic. Today I took the plunge and removed them from the headband, put the "medium" pad...
