Hello all, I‘m thinking about buying a Stax L700 MKII and a Rega Planar 8 and Rega Aria phonostage. It will my only music system and I listen to vinyl exclusively. I keep my records clean with a Watson record cleaner And my records aren't scratched. Will this work or are there certain problems...

I was thinking about major brands in the full-size headphone industry and their release schedule, or how long till we can expect a new flagship to be introduced by those brands. I put together below metrics, which indicates how often those brands are releasing new model, of new flagship model...

I discovered this hobby existed in April and upgraded my way through mid-fi, settling on warm, bassy cannons as my preferred sound signature. Then I bought some Stax NBs and have sold off all my planars and dynamics other than Lawton-cupped and modded EMU Teaks, Sundaras and likely the balanced...

My photoreport about creation and installation of CCS-MOD board for SRM-600. The board has an original design to use the existing mounts on the main (mother) amplifier board. I would like to once again say my most heartfelt thanks to Dr. Kevin Gilmore, Mr. J. Lin, Mr. Mjölnir aka spritzer and...

Following the suggestion of the moderator, having just joined, I hereby post my first post in this forum. Nice to be here and looking forward to learning more about headphones and the components that power them. Just ordered a Woo Audio GES amp for my old Stax Lamda "ear speakers".

Hi everyone, I am trying to bias a STAX SRM T1, the old version of STAX SRM T1 with 2 Transformers. As I am trying to bias with my multimeter, the right channel went from -5 volts to 600 volts DC as I was observing the voltage fluctuation and I am unable adjust the bias voltage via the...

I am going to buy the STAX SR-009S earspeaker, but am a novice in the high-end audio world, and need some advice selecting a full setup (amp + preamp) that won’t limit the performance of the SR-009S. My reason for this purchase is that I used to have a STAX SR-L500mk2 with an SRM-252ii amp...

We just received our first shipment of STAX's latest electrostatic amps, the SRM-700S and SRM-700T. We only have 1 of each, so act quickly! https://www.headamp.com/products/stax-srm-700t https://www.headamp.com/products/stax-srm-700s

On Birgir's website, he's selling prototype electrostats using custom diaphragms inside an SR-X driver. I've never heard the SR-X, and even then I'm sure it wouldn't help as so much has been changed. I'm effectively debating between this and the L700. I hate the look of the boxy lambdas, but...

According to the website. These amps will be released on Dec, 3th. It seems like they will be the successors of 727a and 007ta.

Hi everyone, I have an issue on buying the right cable for my amplifier. I bought the stax SRM-353X amp to pair with my Stax headphones. Unfortunatly the amp came with a broken power cord. They send me a new one but it is stuck somewhere in customs. I am fairly new to Hi-Fi audio/cables so its...

Hi all - I have a pair of old Stax normal bias headphones that I absolutely love but really need an extension (I've thought about re-positioning, getting longer speaker cables etc but it's basically this or move house so I can sit comfortably!) I've been trawling the internet looking for one and...

Hi all, I'm looking for a good balanced desktop dac for my Stax SR-L700 headphones and SRM-353X amp. I have the following idea for my setup: External hdd (with all my music) ---usb---> PC ---usb---> DAC ---XLR cables---> SRM-353X ---> L700 I've stumbled upon a few dac's that are supposedly...

Looking to buy the HPS-2 stand and earspeaker cover. Thanks.

So I just bought a SRM-252s. It came with this one from jameco: https://www.jameco.com/z/DCU120050Z8693-6-Watt-12VDC-500-mA-Unregulated-Linear-Wall-Adapter_15368.html I live in US, I heard mixed reviews to see if this will work with it. I heard it could blow a fuse, is it safe to use with it?

STAX is only making 180 pairs of these beautiful SR-009BK (the BK is for black) in honor of their 80th anniversary, and HeadAmp has a few of them! The color is more of a dark gray as shown in these photos Find out more here...

Just thought I'd start a thread. What would you guys consider the best starter electrostatic headphones with amp included? I've seen a lot where the headphones are >$1000, but I'd consider starter $1000 and under with amp. Maybe I'm crazy. What are the cheapest good Electrostatic w/ amp combos?

First of all, thanks for coming in to help. I read that audioquest's dragonfly red is a dac+amplifier. So does that mean I have to connect headphones to it but not amplifiers? Trying to find an easy solution for pchifi. I would mostly appreciate it if anyone has an answer for the dragonfly...

Ok so am well aware that this question to some extent has been posed before. But in my 100s of search attempts I have not found a thread for which detail retrieval was the primary focus and or one that did not have a price limit. So long as we exclude the more out of reach electros like the...

Hi, My Stax SR L300 just arrived today. I was all excited to hear some music from these and put these on my head and this happens! The headband just snaps into two pieces! Not to mention that I am so much pissed at Stax for selling such a poorly constructed products, I went to their website to...

Has any anyone tried or tested the Stax SRM-D10 Portable Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier / DAC yet? My search came up dry?

Actually, I just hope someone help me delete this post lol

I am creating this thread for discussion relating to the new STAX SRM-D50 DAC/Amp. I will be posting an unboxing video and review here shortly. Description SRM-D50 drives STAX ‘s electrostatic earspeaker in an ideal form. With the installation of a high-performance DAC, it supports various...

Hello! I have inherited Stax Earspeakers and I think it's an amplifier? I would really appreciate some help from someone who knows about these. I need to sell them. I can tell they are SR Sigma - don't know how to tell if they are PRO or not? Also, I don't know if the accompanying component is...
