stax-sr-40

mine are: Pioneer SE-50 and the Sony MDR-D77

I recently got some of the above phones off Craigslist. Got a pretty good price as they have problems. The original ower died and his sister was selling off his stuff. Needless to say, any problems I will find could range from simple to fatal. Who knows. I will try to document the restoration...

Hello!    I was in by basement today, and i found a pair of STAX SR-40!  I'm new to this whole 'highendsound' thing but when i googled them i found that they were very pricey indeed!    The connection is very weird. and it only connects to a adaptor i also found, SRD-7/SB.   How do...

Hello everybody,   I own those old Stax SR40 phones since when I was a child in the late 80s, I'd been using them for a few years for listening to classical music till mid 90s, then put them away. Yesterday I decided to put them back use again, so I connected all the hardware and tested them...

65 bucks. Was that a good deal? I don't know much about these.

In the fall of 2004 I declared my commitment to study the development, if any, of Yamaha's old line of Orthodynamic headphones, which used a driver type known generically as isodynamic, small-O orthodynamic, planar-magnetic, or magnetostatic. Why?  1) they'd been virtually extinct for 20 years...

Bought them 30 years ago in original box unused for the past 25 years. Just listed on Ebay without reserve but have no idea what a good price would be or whether I should have tried to sell them in an audiophile market. Any help appreciated...

By popular demand I'm starting a new thread for our discussions on all things Stax and electrostatic due to the unwieldily number of pages of that thread. This thread should be looked on as a direct continuation of the previous thread. Keeping a broad scope with regards to subject matter has...

Quick Rant Start: I can recall only two headphones ever going out and they're both from Grado. I'm sure I've had others that failed me, but were more likely than not the cheapos that came with portable cassette, then disc players (so the almost disposable ones). I had the SR 60's for...

Hi , I just joined this site due to my recently increasing interests for headphones. Now I've found these headphones laying around the house, my father bought them, in the 70s I guess. I would like to have some more info about them : ) http://i32.tinypic.com/2je3a6x.jpg...

Hi, I'm new to the forums, and really like the community, I know there are a lot of knowledgeable headphone owners here so I would like to ask you a question.   I recently bought a pair of Stax SR-40 from ebay, for 20 bucks (without energizer, already had the SRD-7 SB), they arrived and...

Sennheiser HD650 vs. Stax 2020 Basic System: a comparison I recently did a fairly thorough comparison between these two topnotch headphones. The HD650 was run out of an X-CAN V3 and the Stax was plugged into it's own SRM212 amplifier. My only previous experience with Stax was when I owned...
