Schiit Vidar to Stax SRD 7?
Would this work to run the L300s? Better than a 252S?
Thank you. I'm now wondering how I would control volume. Neither the Vidar or the SRD-7 have volume controls? I guess I would need a preamp too?
Thanks for the tip on the Behringer. This is getting a bit complicated. I think I'll just keep looking for a 252S or 323. I'd like to keep components to a minimum.
I have pretty sensitive ears, so I don't listen very loud at all. I'm just getting a bit impatient. I've found set of pre owned L300s at a good price, but can't find a pre-owned Stax amp at a fair price to run them.
Starting to look at alternatives. Best to just keep focused on a 252 or 323.
Thanks again for all the advice!
This AC adapter is linear and regulated https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arndt-MT18...931950?hash=item1c776107ae:g:QGMAAOSwcUBYSp97
Since it's regulated, it's a much cleaner power supply than any non-regulated junk you will get, including the stock one that comes with the srm-252s. It's rated at 1.5 amp, so that's x4.5 more than the .333 amp of the stock adapter.
This battery is in all likelihood electrically quieter by at least a couple orders of magnitude than even that adapter https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-12V-800...402752?hash=item2a912eff40:g:RRkAAOSwDNdVqffN
Decisions, decisions. Shall I choose the more convenient option, or the electrically cleaner one? There's options with even more storage, like one with 20,000mAh for $30.
I have zero interest into getting any amp beyond the srm-252s, so I figure upgrading from the crappy stock adapter would be the easiest and cheapest upgrade for a STAX system.
I used this regulated linear power supply and reverse polarity converter with the SRM-252S. (Don't use the first one without the second.)

I looked at that same jameco power supply you linked, but couldn't find it on ebay.
