I have a pair of Beyer N1000 electrostatic headphones I'd like to use on ('standard' bias) Stax amps and adapters
 
So, I need to either find and install a Stax 6-pin cable - but so far I have not been able to find one, all I can find are Stax 5-pin cables.
 
Or, I need to find the correct 6-pin plug, some appropriate wire and make up a cable.
 
The cable on my N1000's is shot.
 
I NEED:
 
 

1. WHERE TO BUY 6-PIN CABLE  (Have one to sell?  Make an offer!)

                     -or-

1. WHERE TO BUY 6-PIN PLUG
2. WHERE TO BUY FLEXIBLE LOW-CAPACITANCE CABLE THAT CAN HANDLE THE POLARIZING VOLTAGE

 
PLUS I NEED:
 
         PIN OUT  for STAX 6 PIN CONNECTOR

OK, so I learned from a kind soul who sent me a PM that the 6 pin connector is mfd. by WPI.  I found that CDM sells them online, no minimum qty.  Part number is ?     [I thought GC329,  but this is NOT the right plug type.  DO NOT ORDER GC329  WILL NOT FIT STAX SOCKETS OF ANY KIND!!!)
 
I think I will be able to deduce the pinout from the Stax SRM-T1 amp I just bought, it has high bias and low bias sockets on it.  And the wiring inside the Beyer is dead simple.
 
So now all I need is suitable cable.  I guess I could buy a Stax cable with a 5-pin plug on it and just chop off the plug, solder on my 6-pin plug.  A Koss ESP-9/ESP-10/ESP-950 cable would probably work too, and would be way cheaper.
 
I'll post the Stax pinout once I suss it out.

Yo, check out the wikiphonia.
 
Put the bias at the right spot and you shouldn't be able to blow anything up =P.
 
Edit: Make sure you check with a multimeter on your T1, I'm bloody confusing myself now looking at that picture .....

Oh yeah, multimeter for sure. 'Scope, too, I think, just to make sure.
 
Koss ESP-950 replacement headset cable is $13.50.  Perfect to recable a set of ESL headphones like my Beyer N1000's.  OFC wiring, low capacitance.  Just change the plug.
 
One orders the cable by  calling Koss support, 1-800-872-5677, Monday-Friday between 8:30am-4:30pm CST.
