My original posts were buried in the Stax thread. This is the summery of some of the technical info. I will add the output cap test result by the end of next January (have to get those boutique caps first). If you have done mods to your SRM-001 or have mod related info please contribute...

Okay guys and girls, I've been out of this stuff for a while (been busy with life). I am getting tired of my UE Triple.fis. They sound great, but I want something new that's fun, better bass and easier to put on and take off. I adore the clarity and soundstage of the triple fis, but don't like...

This is admittedly a silly question and I'm pretty sure the answer is obviously no, but has there ever been a portable (i.e., battery-powered) electrostatic amp? Seems unlikely, but you never know the ingenuity of headfiers!

I owe quite a few headphone review to head-fi, including my impreesions of the Stax SR-001 system. that's still under construction. Here's my review of the iGrado's to keep you going. Enjoy! iGrado Review for head-fi.org For the life of me, I can’t really remember the reason for...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for someone who might suggest someone capable of modifying a Stax SRM-001 for me?

Hey guys,   I'm new to hi-fi and have some experience with higher end speakers. However, I was hoping for some advice on buying a great set of headphones for around $300 thats good all around and is portable/stylish. I've tried the Fanny Wangs 3000, Beats by Dre, and B&W P5 and looked at...

Hi guys, would these two be good? I mean I've heard stats are good sounding... but it's pretty cheap now so I'm guessing it doesn't sound as well as the more expensive hp's? thanks

As the title says. 

Hi all, This is my first post and I would like to ask for help whoever lives in Los Angeles area: Hollywood, Santa Monica, Valley, Marina and so on. Please tell me when I can audition the Stax amps or any other electrostatic amps for my Stax O2 mk2. Thanks in advance.  

  Since there aren't many reviewws in English on these phones, I thought I'd write one. Of course all the opinions expressed here are my views, but I hope that this will at least help someone considering purchasing these phones to make a decision. Happy reading      About me First...

This is a review of the Head-Direct RE0. I got them as a review sample a week ago, I have fully burned them in (50-60 hours), and listened to them for many hours a day. I have tried the provided tips, as well as other tips I have at home, and I am finally ready to write what I think of the...

as stated, I use Beo Sound2 plus EM2 Dual for that money. what yours idea?

Hello everyone, I am a new member here. I have had alot of experience with home audio (mostly tube stuff) in the past. I, however, have not been around it for some time. Back in my day, stax were the premier HP's. From reading a little here, stax sounds like the best still. I was wondering...

I loved these babies so much that I have two of them. They are definitely superior sounding than my ER-4S + Amp rig - which is something I hate to admit. This thread is for a roll call on baby Stax owners and to keep the interest running Hope Audiocats and HeadPhoneAddict can chime in soon...

Anyone? 1. If so, was it worth it?   2. Did it isolate better?

  Hi all,   I am thinking about getting a Stax portable system. But i found some model names but;   SR-001MK2 that is what I want because of its amp is more portable than SRS-005II.   But it is said that SR001* MK2 is discontinued. How can i find it? Anyone got an idea?  

Hello, I'm new to this site so Hi!!!!!! I'm saving up for a nice Stax Earspeaker system, either the Stax SRS 3050 II or the Stax SRS 4040 Signature II system. I wonder how these Electrostatic headphones sound like? Please share your views. As I am very interested. I have never had a...

I saw in another thread that someone had replaced the tips for their SR-001's. It may have been sony tips. Any recommendations for different tips for these headphones? Thanks, Stacey

For those that have had or heard both, any impressions?

  For school.  I use an HP 210 Netbook, and need a small portable DAC ONLY.   I don't need an integrated amp.     I found a great deal on an X-Fi Go! but haven't had a chance to hear it yet as it's en route via UPS.       I'm looking to stay CHEAP, small and nothing that's bulky.  I...

Hello guys,   I`m really looking for your help. I would like to get some amp which can drive normaly AKG 240 MK2 (55 ohm) and beyerdynamic DT 990 (250 Ohm), my budget is 300 (top) UK pounds.   Can you please give me piece of advice?   Basically right now I`m looking on ANT Amber 3t...

I have just purchased a Stax SR-001 MKII. Through all the reviews I have read a common theme seems to be the need for burn-in.   EFN actually recommends burning them in for 600 hours. What should I use to burn them in?   Is there some magical mixture of brown noise, pink noise, etc. that...
