    Advice needed on a 'final' TOTL Electrostatic amp within $2k price range.

    Alright, it’s time for an electrostatic amplifier upgrade, enough with issues from aging tube electrostatics or DIY’s done by others.  I’m thinking of finally purchasing something brand new from a reputable dealer that will not only have some kind of warranty, but longevity in the long run...

    Hi all I notice they are selling sr-007s cheap, but is it genuine stuff? And do they deliver ok, no hassles or no shows?   I am kinda nervous about paying over the net to Japan outside of Ebay protection, but the prices are sooo low!   Any experience would be really helpfull.

    SR-007 - will it work ok from an SRM-313??

    Hi All   I am hoping anyone can help me.   Has anyone got a SRM-313 kicking about that they can plug into their SR-007 headphone, and see how it goes?   I know from members that the SRM-323s is fine with the SR-007s, and it has only a bit more power output (400v as apposed to 350v on...

    Does it get much better than the HD800?

    Hey,    How is everyone doing this friday?    I've had the HD800 for a few weeks now and long story short, I'm loving the sound.    In only a few months, I've owned the Grado SR80i followed by Sennheiser HD650, then Hifiman HE-500, then Ultrasone Edition 8 and finally Senneheiser...

    LCD-2 sound, less weight?

    Title says it all, but I'll go into a bit more detail. I've had my LCD-2s for almost a year now and I love the sound they produce, but... they're so damn heavy. I can't go for more than 1-2 hours without having to take them off and take a break because my neck feels like it's being compressed. I...

    most comfortable headphones

    I am on a quest to find a really comfortable set of full-size headphones for long, all-day listening and listening in bed (don't like to wake up with my phones still on and pressing uncomfortably). I find Grados to be very uncomfortable. Sennheiser is so-so to me. What are your picks for...

    Why do expensier headphones generally get brighter and more laid-back?

    This is something I've kept wondering, many expensive headphones and flagship models tend to be bright (cold/analytical) and laid-back. Of course there is some exceptions but it gets more and more common with that being the case the higher up you go on the pricelist. What is there that says...

    Stax Headphone mod - convert to "open air" mounting

    I was more than pleasantly surprised by doing a ‘mod’ of my old Stax Signatures.  IMO, this mod has much promise, and even sounds very good without adding EQ (yet).   Easier to listen to than my Stax Omega SR-007 --- dare I say ‘better’ in some respects. Because of the close proximity to the...

    Flat sound vs. "fun sound"...so flat isn't fun?

    I just don't get this whole headphone review mindset of "these are great b/c of the ultra flat freq response". Flip side...these are fantastic because of the warm "fun" sound they portray...far from a flat response, but very desirable.    So which is it? I hear people who praise the flat...

    Good looking n good sounding headphones a myth?

    I like fashion and dressing well. And I like goooooood sound too. I find pro headphones all perfect sounding but kinda ugly looking. I also like how fashion headphones look but not how they sound. When will someone merge the two? Or has it been done already?

    Anyone ever heard the stax Srm-323s with the omega II ?

    I'm looking for a budget electrostatic amp for the omega II, until I raise enough money to buy a blue hawaii or WES amp. It seems like the Stax Srm-323s might fit the bill just fine, but I'm wondering about if it's even a powerful enough amp to correctly drive it, get it to max volume kind, etc...

    The most involving set-up/headphones

    hi post your impressions here. by "involving" I mean a piece of gear, (everything from headphones to amps, dacs, cd player, speakers, everything...) or a complete system, that just makes you forget about the sound, focus on the music. it can be (objectively or technically) the best you've...

    Why aren't there more electrostatics?

    For a long time the high-end of headphone audio was the sole domain of the electrostatics.  Then dynamics that were capable of producing very good sounds that were profitable to make and sell for reasonable prices came along and turned headphone audio into a serious hobby for the masses.  ...
