frankly the idea of waiting 11 months and then finally receiving the unit only to have it malfunction is totally unacceptable in so many ways..almost comical to be honest
Fine-tuning of left and right volumes can be used with a Stax amplifier.Anyone knows why this imbalance problems are happening? What's the cause?
In my Stax T8000 I have separated volume controls for the right and left earphone, so it would be pretty easy to correct any small imbalance... not saying that a 7000$ headphone should have any.
This the reality you must accept with electrostat headphones.frankly the idea of waiting 11 months and then finally receiving the unit only to have it malfunction is totally unacceptable in so many ways..almost comical to be honest
I will stick to Raal lolThis the reality you must accept with electrostat headphones.
To add to the numerous (fantastic) inputs above.
I just watched Rob Watts interview with Soundview from about a week ago, a wonderfully knoweledgable developer (I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours chatting with him pre CanJam Chicago and learned a ton). He is discussing specifically his view on where the DAC, clock, and streamer come into play in affecting sound quality.
Relevant part is between minute 9:41-11:30, and then minutes 45:15-51:50:
The full interview is about an hour, and a very enjoyable listen.
will reply in private to keep this thread on topic@orrm have you tried antipodes streamers? I assume that brand of streamer shall match well with good synergies with your Wavedream by adding more dimensions, increasing the clarity and cleanness as well as nuances. Feel free to check in with antipodes owners Personally speaking it is not my preferred brand with my cans but I recognize what it does well and many owners use K50 with Chord Dave as well as with other DACs such as Playback Designs and MSB.
My apologies I thought that is what is being discussed about one designer’s opinion over if streamers can increase sound quality.will reply in private to keep this thread on topic
Indeed! It is special especially for jazz and classical. Amazing sound!Yesterday I had the good fortune spend a couple of hours listening to music with a friend who has a setup incl Stax SR-X9000 and an amazing tube amp. It sounded pretty, pretty good
Having owned Stax many years ago I never thought that they would evolve to this. Congrats to all of you enjoying music with one of the absolute finest headphones ever
IMHO.
