    Long, meandering comparison of Stax 404 and Stax X-III, Episode I

    I thought a detailed comparison of the two Stax phones I own might be of interest to a few of you. I've commented briefly in the past on their relative abilities as I see them, but my penchant for verbosity, garrulousness, and completeness has finally made me take the plunge and do a voluminous...

    Stax SR-404 headband slipping

    I have Stax SR-404 Signature headphones and I'm very happy with the sound but they have one very annoying ergonomic issue... the headband does not hold its position.  After 5 to 10 minutes, they slip to their fully extended position.  Is anyone else having this problem?   If so, have you found a...

    Used Stax SR404 + SRM3: should I go for them?

    Hello, I am going to buy a decent setup (headphones + amplifier + CD player) to properly listen to my beloved rock CDs. So far, I was able to listen to these headphones only: Sennheiser HD650, Senn HD800, Grado SR1, all coupled with a Lehmann Audio Linear (in Italy it is very difficult to...

    Questions about Stax

    I'm considering getting a stax earspeaker system and i noticed that they have recently launched an update in November 2010. The old 3030 classic (SRS 303 + SRM 313) and the 4040 signature (SRS 404 and SRM 006t) (as compared here: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/stax/stax.html) are now being...

    Hello,   I sold all my portables and desktop rig to quit this hobby..but just became helpless. I would like to try STAX this time and I'm in S.Korea right now so my options are quite limited when it comes to purchasing (worried about tax and all). I found someone selling Stax Airbow SR...

    So who's bit the bullet on a pair of Stax 507's?

    Anyone have these on order yet?   Twice the price of the 404's, sounds like the class margin of diminishing returns - double the investment for a smallish return.   On the other hand I had a friend 30 years ago who paid $800 for a pair of Stax Lambda's and he certainly got his money's...

    Reasonable way to use Beta 22 with electrostats?

    I'm very, very close to pulling the trigger on a Beta 22. (well, commence, anyway). However, is there any reasonable way to use it with electrostatic headphones, such as the Stax 404? A way that is inexpensive and doesn't involve loss of performance? Buying a Beta 22 will involve a large sum of...

    The Stax thread (New)

    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...

    Stax ED-1 and ED-5 EQs emulation

    Hi there, first post to share what I had fun doing these last days : I'm the owner of a SR-3 and a SR-404 Signature, both powered by a 580V modded SRD-6 box. I'm very happy with the second hand SR-3 (especially for its low price) but I'm not exactly in love with the acid and harsh sounding...
