stax

Hi, all. I'm new to the group, and appreciate the collective wisdom I've already seen. I do have a specific question: what do all y'all think would be a fair price to ask on this site and on A'gon (and eBay, I s'pose) for a Stax SR-007 (Mk 1) and an SRM-717 (also Mk 1) system in what I would...

Hello Everyone. I've just bought a pair of SR-5 & SRD-6 combo. Been playing the SR-5s off my SRM-1 MK-2 and they sound detailed and fun. Obviously they are not big on the bass department, but I noticed that if I pushed the headphones towards my head and created a better deal, the bass was more...

Hello head-fi people, I just snagged Stax Sigma (Pro?) + SRA-12S AMP for $220 imported from Japan yahoo auctions. Should be getting it in a few days.. Can anyone tell me if I can safely plug this into the outlet in the USA? Does it need re-wiring? Yahoo auction: STACKS STAX SR - Λ STAX...

Hi, help me to choose! I know, they are really different, but I am switching from an HE-400i and can't decide. Both are about the same price (with amp and dac). I'd like to go with the L-300, but I fear it doesn't have enough bass (at least 400i quantity). As for the M1060, after listening to...

I have been looking around the forum about entry level stax systems. Some people say once you hear an electrostsic you can't go back. So after looking around I have seen for sale stax sr 3, 5 and 40. The 3 comes with the srd 5 energiser. The sr5 is 250 and doesnt come with an energiser. The sr40...

Well, I have just gotten home from Japan and Hong Kong and had the mispleasure of listening to the SR-007mkII and SR-404s at Yobodashi and SoftMap; I say "mispleasure" because now I want these but they are way too far out of my budget.   My question is: Should I save up to eventually get one...

Do you still sell Stax gear - I found in an old 2007 post that at that time you handled Stax headphones. If you have access to Stax gear, can you get any of their amps (717, 727?).

Hi. What are the differences between Stax SR-007 Omega I and Omega MK II? .? The MKII can go with Stax SRM-007T headphone amplifier? Differences between SRM-007T and mKII? Thanks

Is it worth it to get one of the Stax amps? 007T or 717 solid state or go for a Blue Hawaii? Who would build one for me?

I really want to try them, but I expend most of my time driving and away from a computer/internet connection, so I always gewt late to eBay, offers in this forum and, well, everywhere else where an opportunity can appear on some cheap old Stax, and I know nothing about other brands/models of...

What is the best headphone Extension Cable ? I tryed looking for a monster one but could not find one

Hello again. I was looking for a great open phone to use with a GS-1, but then I got to thinking, why not buy I Stax system... I have auditioned a couple of higher-end Staxes, and find that I like them very much. But, I have a habit of getting bad cases of upgraditis, especially before...

  Today, I had an opportunity to listen to the new Stax flagship prototype (referred as C32 below) at Fujiva Avic store in Tokyo. They had it for demo during the holidays and I took the opportunity to spend about 1 hour and a half switching back and forth between the C32 and the current Omega...

Due to the large page count and recent amount of off-topic posting, I've restarted this thread.    As Carl said back in 2007:   For the sake of those people seeking information, especially given the discussion of vintage gear which often needs maintenance or repair, please do keep on...

Hello Guys,   I have signed myself up on Head-fi for quite a few years. Never posted anything until today. The reason why I do today, is because I can use some inputs from everyone on one very troubling question I've been asking myself for quite a few weeks. How can I justify myself for...

I'm going to Taipei this weekend, and while there I want to listen to some cans. Anybody know some good stores? BTW I can speak and read a little mandarin (enough to get me by in my daily existence) so take that into consideration if it matters. Thanks Boytbpc P.S. Anybody in the...

Hello! This is just a bit off topic... but I was wondering if any of you headphone guys listen to electrostatic speakers. That is, if you listen to speakers at all! I have Acoustat Model 8s, which I drive directly with high voltage tube amps: This is what led me towards the Stax...

If money was no issue,   Which 3 IEM's would you consider are the best in the market right now ?   No music preference just looking for general individual recommendations.

Hi!   Last week i purchased cheap, very old Stax system. It consists of Stax SR-80 electret earspeakers and SRD-4 adaptor.   Price was about 50$, so I was expecting something belonging more to museum expositions, than anything resembling HiFi behavior.   I was pleasantly surprised...
