http://cgi.ebay.com/Stax-SRD-4-Headp...QQcmdZViewItem I don't know much about these but they are at like $42 on Ebay thought id share.

I just got my used pair of Stax Lambda Nova Basic. I`m really excited, but I still havent used them because I`m away from home.   They seem like in very good condition from what I can tell, but the only thing thats wrong with them ( aesthetically) is that the foam on the inside of the...

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...

I have been using a Wadia Ipod Dock with a Peachtree Decco Intergrated Amp/DAC.  The Decco has many digital/analog inputs and analog speaker outs.  This has been sufficient until today when someone gave me a pristine set of: Stax SR-Omega and two black boxes:  ED-1 Monitor (Lamda) and a Tube...

One channel has gone out on my STAX SRX phones or the SRD-6S/B power unit.  Does it make economic sense to try to repair it or should I be looking for a replacement?

have read all the post about Stax for a long time and wait for a lower end system I can afford for months on the forum, still did not score one. The junior stax dudes, you know it is time to upgrade, and send out what left. hehe.  

This poll is reserved only to SR-007 owners who have heard both and have had the time to compare them Correction: the poll is for the MK1 vs Mk2 I am relatively new to the Stax world and have been captivated by electrostatics. I am not really interested on any dynamic cans at this pont. I...

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

I am curious to see what some of you guys bought as your first real headphones and what you bought after those and what you have now. I just want to see how you guys go so into this hobby that you are willing to spend so much!

Hello Head-fi, the cash is in and I'm looking to spend $300USD on some cans to last for a good while.  To start, they will be amped from a NAD 7220PE where the headphone amp section specs are: "Output impedance:  220ohms Maximum output level: .10V into 600ohms >500mV into 8ohms"  That...

This looks good, has modules for moving coil and magnetic cartridges. I guess I just can't bring myself to pay this kind of money for a 20 year old item. http://cgi.ebay.com/STAX-SRA-14S-PRE...QQcmdZViewItem

Hi. Profuse apologies if this is in any way against the rules, duplication, etc. I'm brand new and hopefully mods can put me right.   I've been a Stax user since 1988. Lamba Pros back then and after a while the cable deteriorated and for the next few years I resoldered it a few times but it...

Hi, I know there exist a thread here in head-fi with instructions on how to do this, but i can't find it anymore. I haven't been on these boards for a long time (happy wallet) so it's hard for me to track it down (was it in that long stax thread?) I bought a Stax SRM-300 from audiocubes and...

Along with its driving amp of course? just want to try it out. Haven't heard electrostats and really curios how they sound. Highly doubt there is some retail place where one can audition them, so have to rely on people owning them.   In return you can have my T1s if you want. PM me if...

hey all! Which closed back headphone would you consider for yourself while you are in a working area? will you please help me identify?

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.

Hello   I have the chance to buy my first serious pair of headphones, because I have something to celebrate.   The AKG costs 850€ and the Stax 650€ with the SRD-7 Pro amp, both aprox. and shipping included.   I don't know what to choose. I would like the one that is less harsh and...

Well, I thought I'd share my audio experience and how I came to be here.   I'm 17, and I've already spent $150NZ ($70-80US about) on a pair of headphones recently and I'd probably spend a bit more if it meat a bigger gain.   It started in 06 when I got an mp3 player from my parents. Back...

Well our discussions of all things Stax and electrostatic related seem to have died down recently, so in the interest of perking things back up a bit, here's a thread for it. Okay then, to start us off; compare and contrast:

Hi there guys, I recently got the Stax SRS-2050A and I love the clarity as well as the general sound of them. However, I can't wear them for more than 10 minutes as they just become too unbearable to wear. The problem is that it is simply too clampy around my ears. Does anyone have any advice as...

  While I enjoy the portability of the JH-13's,I prefer my Stax for the intense sound sessions.   Something about the closed canal pressure of custom IEM's vs. the open-back electrostats.   Simply still liking my earspeakers from 1975 with the 1979 transformer,in spite of the new...

Sennheiser HD650 vs. Stax 2020 Basic System: a comparison I recently did a fairly thorough comparison between these two topnotch headphones. The HD650 was run out of an X-CAN V3 and the Stax was plugged into it's own SRM212 amplifier. My only previous experience with Stax was when I owned...
