From what I have read on Stax, it seems that their proprietary amps are really underpowered. Singlepower seems to make some great amps for them but there seems to be a horrible delay on getting Mikhail's amps...not to move off thread here...I had looked into a Stax set up for awhile but it was just too much of a leap of faith for me without listening to them. Another positive thing about working with Vinnie is that he keeps you in the loop and he sticks to his timelines, if there is a problem you know that he is going to make it right...I really appreciate that. The detail is of course suppose to be amazing with Stax but I think I would miss the tacticle feel of the music for what you get from a dynamic set up.
The Isabella was pretty tempting and I am always close to moving to the tube side as I do tend to like warmth but at teh same time detail and clarity...but I know that for me trying to find the perfect tubes for a set up would drive me crazy...haha. So, I am going to wait until I am settled down somewhere in the States before I move from SS to the joys of tube rolling.
All this HD800 love is almost enough to convince me to give Sennheiser another go around!
I ran out of time to plug the 650's in last night but I will get to it, promise.
I can second silverlight's sentiments about being off grid...we run off generator power here and it is nice to not have any hum introduced into the audio path! The background makes me think of the metal t-shirt "I'll stop wearing black when they make something darker"...just you and your music.
