Yes, I thought you'd get a kick out of the CRT charging setup. But where else did we have access to 25kV in our homes? Happy days.
I have restored a STAX SR-5 electrostatic headphone "earspeaker" (new cable) with this PWB connector (no power supply required !) coupled with Amphony microFidelity Model 200. This setup has a amazing sound !
Hi, i post my pictures on my Dropbox account here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fysvegfv0jkds9g/PHBK4hT987
Thanks for that set of pictures. I will post them up here for you.
A couple of questions:
- some older SR-3 based electrostatic headphones sometimes use different pin arrangements on the end of the plug. So you are simply using the regular Stax cable on these SR-5s as it is normally ( the same wire arrangements), or did you have to trace the pins and change the connectors inside at all? Isit simply plug and play?
I use original STAX cable connector and splice joint to new cable because my original cable are broken.
- do you recall much of a difference from the stock Stax adapter box ( was it SRD-6/7/other? ). If so can you basically describe the change you hear or remember at all: anything however small is of interest.
I don't have original STAX adapter box (SRD), because i receive as is from my oncle... So, i can't compare !
