    Stax SRD-X buzzing type sound when plugged into PC

    I recently got a Stax SR-202 with an SRD-X driver. My setup is powerboard -> power adapter -> SRD-X. When I listen to this setup plugged in to my phone it sounds perfect, but when I plug into my PC (back and front audio the same, though front is a bit worse) I get this strange noise. A sample...

    Stax SR-202 sound when tilting head

    I recently got a pair of Stax SR-202 Earspeakers with a SRM-2050A driver from Japan. It has been a few weeks now, soundstage still blows me away every time.

    STAX SRM-252S vs SRM-717

    Dear Members of Head-Fi, I've always wondered why there are so few "lowest" vs "highest" comparisons in the audio gear reviews. I personally find it very exciting to see what is the difference between the incomparable! I didn't find this comparison before, so I hope it will be interesting for...

    Stax SR-L500 Mk2 Channel Imbalance that grows the longer I leave them on - Is there a fix?

    I recently got my pair of L500s out of storage to find them surprisingly working well. This was a surprise because I had stored them as they had pretty bad channel imbalance. After using them for a while the imbalance came back, in fact after leaving them plugged in overnight it was pretty bad...

    Stax L300 pads ease clamping force of L700 mkII ?

    I find the clamping force of my Sr l700 mkII too high. It looks as if the Sr L300 pads has a lower profile that might mitigate the problem ??

    STAX headphone cable repair, preferably in Toronto, Canada?

    I have a paid of STAX SR-007 (mki), and the cable now has a loose connection at the headphone end. I've fixed a similar problem on some old Grados of mine, but I'm a lot more nervous about opening up a pair of electrostatic headphones, and I'm not even sure how I'd do it. Has anyone had any...

    STAX energizers - how do they respond to different amps?

    I am currently considering getting a lambda series stax with an energizer to jump into the electrostatic rabbit hole. I was wondering how energizers (at least the ones that do not need speaker amps) without DACs such as the 252s react to different amps. Do they need a powerful amp, or are just...

    Hello? This is my first thread. I am using SR-L700, SR-007A and SRM-727A. Because SR-L700 and SR-007A are good headphone, I had an interest in SR-X9000. Many reviews indicated that SR-X9000 is a masterpiece of electrostatic headphone. But, choosing an energizer is not easy as choosing...

    Do anyone knows why STAX stopped using 6-pin cable?

    I love STAX headphones so much. After these days in/out I decided to keep my SR007 mk1(71xxx) and SR-lambda normal bias. And the lambda NB is my favorite headphone. The first time I tried the NB on at my friend's place, I was shocked by its unbelievable dynamic range and pure voice. Now I have...

    Stax SRM-1/MK2 Voltage Switching

    Hello Headfi., my first post here. I recently purchased the Stax SRM-1/MK2. It has both the normal and the pro connectors. I am confused about its voltage selection. The back of the unit says that it supports 100v, 117v, 220v and 240v. Also on the back there was a plate that I unscrewed which...
