Good morning Singapore. I got here last night and I am ready to go.

@yaps66 is coming over for breakfast as we call to order the first meeting of the Watercooler with Electech this evening

This is 7:30 PM in Singapore. Notice the lack of a line and no immigration agents. Rush hour in most Large Cities. It took me 1:15 min to land, walk to immigration, pass through immigration, collect my bag, go through customs, get a cab, check into the hotel and relax in my room. SG is the most well run city on the planet.

Last year, it took less than an hour, but that was 5:00 am

Hi @nepherte I will hopefully see you at the show. Unfortunately, I will miss the Sunday dinner since I am flying out that night. Have a Chili crab for me. I will miss it.

Hello Singapore! :D

IMG_2316.jpeg

The wife and I arrived earlier today in what’ll be our first trip on our own as a couple. We spent the day at a few of our favourite spots - Jewel, Plaza Singapura, Vivo City - but I couldn’t resist trying out some gear along the way. :wink:

First up: The STAX-009S, driven by the TRM-400S, fed by the FiiO R7.

IMG_2331.jpeg

I heard that quick, agile, uber-detailed sound the 009’s are famous for, but I personally couldn’t jive with its tone. I heard a slight hollowness in the midrange - a lack of quantity between 1-2kHz - which made instruments sound a tad too light; lacking substance or density. This was a preference mismatch that I heard from the jump, and it didn’t change no matter what track I listened to. I probably would’ve liked it better with one of STAX’s tube amps, but I wanted to try the 009S on a rig I would realistically buy. The $6000 T8000, not so much… :D

Then, I moved onto the L700MK2.

IMG_2330.jpeg

Now, this was more my speed. It had a much fuller, warmer tone that rang truer to me, and I could’ve listened to it all day. It didn’t quite have the agility or background blackness the SR-900S did, and part of that has to do with how differently they’re tuned, but I loved the L700’s tone enough not to care. The only qualm I had with it was a tiny bit of glare around 7kHz, but I reckon that’s probably the R7’s Sabre DAC talking. I heard a similar treble tone on FiiO’s M17.

Of the two, the MK2 is definitely the model I’d get if I were to get a STAX, but I have my sights set on some in-ears at CanJam already, so no spending shall be done before Saturday. Still, it was cool to finally check a couple STAX’s off my bucket list.
