Hi,
I just bought a pair of Stax SR-5's with the SRD-5 adaptor. It is my first foray into Stax goodness and I am pleased. The sound is excellent for any phones but really amazing considering how inexpensive they are and how old these are...
A couple of questions after doing the obligatory searching. Yes, I read through part of the NEW and OLD Stax threads but I may not have enough years left to read every gem in the old thread
1. The Stax "adaptor" has four speaker wires. Black\red and blue/white. Which is ground(-) and which is plus(+) for the two pairs? (no manual and could not find one online). I did get music using the black and blue wires as ground but I want to do it right.
2. It seemed as if one channel was weak when I first started it up. Is this the dreaded channel imbalance problem? It seemed to go away after 5 minutes or so. I need to test a bit more tomorrow.
3. Is there a minimum wattage for an amp to be hooking these up to. Would a 45 or 2A3 amp be too puny or should I just try it?
Thanks!
Paul
