Sound Quality :
Stax Sound Quality is a legend never get die with the time .
If you like natural and very sweet midrange from Linda Ronstadt .this Baby Stax SRS 002 is the right choice for you
It is not good for hard rock and metal .
It is very good for Classical and Jazz Acoustic .
IMO






It can be a good setup if d100 really over m10 IMO.

Hello !
my little contribution, not an epic rig, but sound good enough for me.
 
   
 
 
 
 
My first attempt to make a modified fiio LOD... not a beauty, but effective ^^
 
 
 
 
 
for comparison my brand new modified LOD... made from the same fiio thing. i'm pretty happy with the result. it's totally inspired from a picture seen on this forum... http://www.head-fi.org/content/type/61/id/479997/width/350/height/234  (don't know, the name of this artist, but many thanks to him.)

  I previously owned an ak240, For the ak240ss there has been noticeable improvement at nearly all aspects, I could say the SQ is around 25 to 30% better the the original ak240. Darker background, better separation of instruments, more "3D sounding", larger soundstage (both vertical and horizontal) , the bass is a little bit tigher) . For the same song, you can easily hear some detail you never heard on ak240 before , I just feel everything is better....

Did you do a side-by-side comparison? I thought the AK240SS was "just" a regular AK240 with a stainless steel case in stead of duraluminum.

Actually I still own both of them

(Thought I'm selling the 240), and of course an AB test was done. To me, the improvement in SQ is quite significant

Cool - but are there any internal differences between them or is it just the material of the body?

It is just the body and AK claims it improves ground or whatever. I own AK240SS and RWAK240 and do not notice significant differences. Once again this is the modded AK and I did not do extensive comparison, I got the AK240ss for the looks.

It's a 50/50 call I feel. Some do, and some don't. More impressions on the AK240 thread, and a little more on the AK240SS threads. Bottom line, I'd say is if you know the AK240SS members who have shared something else with you in the past that you agree with, ask them.
