Headphone Reviews and Discussion

I can personally say Ray is an amazing person with so much care for the audio gear he engineers- one question/clarification - is that the STAX SR-009 no 's' on name?

There are 2 Staxes. There is the original SR-009 and an updated SR-009S. Both are still being sold. Ray used the SR-009.

Excellent story and journey

I can not believe he upgraded the A10. This got me intrigued.

Can you eventually get the 007 and try it out and see how it is?

I am loving my RSA amp but like you - I have the Apache - just in case some of your readers need a solid state powerhouse for conventional headphones I wanted to share and I wanted to add this- loving it more each month (with the new 4 - OPA627bp I am really digging it soooo much! I am going back and forth with different OPAs Sparkos Dual Discrete Op Amp SS360 and just ordered 4 SS2590 pros - I plan on adding to my review as compared to the 4 1611's Ray installed and really sound amazing as well. I love RSA and loved how Ray gave such personal attention - here is my review for those who need convential amplification for headphones/preamp by Ray Samuel's https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/up...limited-revision-4-newest-version-2020.24732/

@protoss On the 007MKII, I am not sure where I could find a pair short of buying. If you are in the Chicago area, contact Ray by PM and he may let you audition his.
