Can you recommend some energizers to connect to speakeramps?This is a Raal SR1a thread, but now that it has a bit sidestepped for a moment:
If one switches to STAX headphones from any Dynamic-, Planar Magnetic-, A.M.T.- or Ribbon-headphones:
The difference is huge, and the amp used only contributes 5%, at best, to this difference.
A STAX SR-009, SR-007, SR-L700 or other model can easily and favourably be driven from a SRM-1 MK2 Professional (can be found in good condition for 500 bucks) to 95% of it’s capabilities, and cleanly way beyond healthy loudness levels.
Some will want a little bass-boost to balance the STAX’s enormous transparency, this is better achieved by EQ than hoping a different amp will do the job.
Once you get a little bit more used to the STAX’s house sound the boost might even become obsolete, depending on the music.
My point: you don’t need to spend a fortune to experience the STAX sound, as a refreshing alternative to ...
I have an amazing speakeramp and only need a fitting energizer to get me going with eStats.
Right now I only know about
