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...

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...

Hello. I'm very new to Stax world and need an advise what to buy. 1500-2200 usd. I have HD800 and LCD 4... Stax should be better in SQ... I have tried L700 at the Munich High End show and was very impressed. I have an offer for Lamda pro + ED1 + SRM 1 MK2 for 2000 usd. Is it worth to buy? Or...

I'm checking to see if there's interest in forming an event in the RDU/Chapel Hill area.

I'm planning to buy Stax L300's tomorrow, after I've had 2 nights to contemplate the fact that I'll need 5-year plans and virtual slavery to fix my personal economy afterwards. I think it will be worth it. I'll be done sidegrading. Maybe. Maybe I'll just pull a Jordan Belfort to finance...

I love to listen to my Stax headphones and my CLS II and stacked Quad ESL loudspeakers. Of course, some songs sound better than others. For those of you with similar passions, I'd love to hear your recommendations of songs and albums that really play to the strengths of your electrostatic...

I own a Woo Audio Wee, and i am looking for other energizers to power my Stax with, if it will make a difference or not sound-wise. I am running my Woo Wee on a Bryston 2B-LP, which is powering SR-007 Mk2s (port mod). Would exercise the idea of finding an energizer i can run off a powerful...

Hello everyone! I'm working on a STAX rig and im pretty set on the SR-L700 but I would like to have others thoughts on a few things. You see I like things that arent to dark or to bright. Say the HD800, Beyer, HE-6 are to bright for me in the treble. While the SR007, LCD, Monoprice planars...

Hi This is the upgrade i am looking for, BUT how big is the difference in percentages % between the two sets ?

Hey guys, please share any impressions and updates about this exciting upcoming portable STAX driver! (I don't feel like searching through all the STAX forums in the future for this info :confounded:, just so it's all in one place).

Hello, forum newb here! (Well actually I've been here for a few months but am just now getting around to making my newb thread.) Figured I'd try and get this new member tag removed from my back. For my first topic I'd like to discuss the one and only: Stax. I've owned various hifi-headphones...

TLDR; Taking my current Odac/Objective 2 + Stax SRM-252s setup and building it into a single chassis, while adding VU meters. Please skip to the Challenges section, because I do need some help with this! Inspiration: Stax SRM-212 Protype (Showcased at CES2016) My imagination. The actual...

What DAC or AMP/DAC would be a good choice for $600 or less that would work well with the STAX lineup? Currently looking at the Chord Mojo, iFi iDSD Black Label, Topping DX7

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your insights! I just came back from Japan, and brought back some nice STAX loot — a used SR-009 and a SRM 006ts amplifier. I tried them both in Japan and they sounded great (compared to my current SR 407 and SRM 3). Both of the components are used, the...
