Hi,Just ordered . Was told 2-3 months. The dealer mentioned they are making 7-10 per month so 2-3 months might be optimistic ..who knows. While there I got to compare the 009s and the 9000 briefly. Distinctly better build quality with the 9000 and I've never had a pair of headphones feel more comfortable
what??
What do you mean? Your dealer handles 7-10 per month?
or
STAX ist making 7-10 per month?
I cannot believe ...
10 per day maybe?
I already heard that each individual SR-X9k is adjusted by a laborious handicraft because the tolerances of the new mesh and the drivers are cumbersome.
Is this true?
If this is true it reminds me the legendary SR-OMEGA from 1993. These were hand-adjusted and due to this, ony 600 pieces were produced until the model was discontinued.
In other words:
10 devices per month would mean 120 devices per year and it would take five years (a full product lifecycle ) to get the 600 pieces like the Omega.
This cannot be the production concept of a modern headphone manufacturer, and this does not sound realsitic.
So, I would be interested in the real production rate at STAX.
Do you have an idea? Thnx
