Hi,    I came across a German headphone amp at the German CanJam. It is the Malvalve Headamp three. What makes it special: it is both suitable for electrostats (Stax) and dynamic headphones. Would be a great device to clean up my gear. I am currently using a Stax SRM-007t for my Stax SR-007...

I am looking for impressions from folks that have compared Stax's SRM007t II and the Woo Audio GES.  How do these compare to the BH?

I am planning to buy the SR-009 headphones. My plan in the future is to get the RSA A10 Thunderbolt for them and also use it as pre-amp in my speaker system. In the meantime I need to go with a less expensive amplifier so I am looking to buy a Stax package.   I have been told that the...

 I have a relatively new Stax SRM007ta which I have been using with a pair of Stax Sigma Pros.  I have now gone through two pair of Sigma Pros with the right earspeaker dying out with now sound.  Originally, both Sigmas worked fine; but after approximately a year of use with each one the right...

Thanks for posting?

that I have determined that my SRM007ta amplifier is working properly- thanks to Spritzer and my new multimeter, I am now left with some working left side Sigma Pros. The right side Sigma Pros died- possibly as a result of old age- not the fault of the amp.  Is it possible to splice or connect...

HELP!  Thanks to my pet cat (Kayo), a sudden  jump off the couch, a snagged SR-007 Mk2 headphone cable on his way off the couch, a headphone on the floor ….. So now I get intermittent and highly annoying one or both channels cutting in and out so as to make use basically unlistenable.  I...

I'm considering purchasing a Stax SR007 mk1 setup (KGSS or SRM 727), but would like to demo them first if at all possible. None of the high end NYC audio shops (In Living Stereo, Stereo Exchange, Innovative, Singer) carry Stax (or much of anything besides Grado). If anyone is interested I have...

Hi all, I am looking at my first foray into the high end headphone market. I currently have a HD650 headphone, but like every audiophile, I want the best sound obtainable.   So i'm looking at purchasing the Stax SR-009. Trouble is i'm not sure what amp to pair it with. After reading through...

hi guys,   i just got my SR009 and 007a. I run the 007a as a power amp, meaning full volume with a pre-amp before it. i think the sound quality is amazing. but it is indeed a tad on the bright side (in fact quite bright for my liking).   i wonder if anyone here has any experience on how...

Hi all,   I want a set of headphones as flat, realistic, accurate and detailed as possible for mixing and mastering applications. I was thinking something in the lines of HD800, T1, LCD2, SR-007 and 4070. Any suggestions?

Are the 009's any good for gaming. I need something that will allow me to image very well.   I will be using a Blue Hawaii.

Hi, I want some advise about 'the best' replacement tubes of the Stax SRM-T1. Please tell me why I 'must have' the tubes you advise. Regards, Hank

SIGMA COMPARISONS I have had three different Sigma models, for a few years now, the original normal or low bias, the pro or high bias, and the Sigma/404 which is a Sigma rebuilt with contemporary Lambda 404 drivers and cable. However until recently I did not have an amp to allow me to...

Hello everybody,   Currently my rig is based on a Stax system with a Audio GD19DSP + SRM007t + SR507.   My opinion is the same as DavidMahler on SR507. There several negative point about SR507 : -small soundstage -lack impact and body   Positive point : -liquidity -detailed...
