Sometimes when headphone companies add a variation to their pre-existing model they don't always change the model name.  Most recently, the Audeze LCD-2 (one of my favorite headphones) which has a few variations in cosmetics and most recently in sound signature.   How do you feel about this...

Hi,   A few years back, I purchased a pair of SR Lambda Pros, SRM-1 / MK2 Driver Unit, and SRD-X battery powered portable adaptor.  All was fine for a year or so but now the left earspeaker plays much lower than the right earspeaker, maybe as much as 6dB less loud.  I have swapped the SRM...

Hi- first post from newbie.   I'm an audio engineer and have owned some very nice headphones over the years, including various Grados (225's now) and a Stax SR-Lambda Pro / SRM-1/MK-2s system. My wife is now enthusiastically jogging with a new iPod and some crummy JVC HAS 150BX headphones...

i bought a stax srm-1 mkii form japan, and it's 100v.  when i put off the cover from  back of the amp, i saw  as follow: 1. is it can change voltage from 100v to 220v? 2.it can be done by a easy way? or need to open it and do some operation? i need help   thanks!

So I just received a STAX SRM-1/MK2 energizer along with Lambda Pros, and while they're doing a great job reproducing sound (for the most part), I'm noticing strange hissing coming from both earspeakers.   The left side has a very slight hiss that sounds like air slowly coming out of a...

Hello to all, I'm fairly new to this forum and untill now I have read a lot of posts to get a bit acquainted. For normal bias phones, I use a SRM-1/Mk2 which I would like to upgrade (actualy a P.P., but I fitted 1 normal bias socket). I have read about swapping out the power transistors...

I'm looking to get into electrostats and thought that Stax would be a good place to start. I've heard so many different things about different stax setups and was wondering what the best setup (headphone+amp) would be for around $1000.

I am on the market for a solid state amp (not portable). My cans are Grado SR225i, Beyer DT770/32, Sennheiser HD650 and possibly a Grado RS1i and a Beyer DT990/660 ohm in the near future! As for the amp,  I'd like to stick to maximum $300-$350.    I am torn between Schiit Asgard, Little Dot...

I'm interested in switching over to the electrostatic side of things. But I dont know too much about that area. I've been researching as much as I can but there is so much information and terminology and model variations that its throwing me off from becoming informed.   I currently own...

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...

Does anybody have available either a copy or scans of the Stax SRM Monitor manual? I was able to acquire a pdf of the Stax Sigma manual thanks to a kind head-fier, so I thought I'd try playing for the BMW LOL.

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...
