They don't but I think by now it's sort of a given that you will fart while listening to 'stats.

It's a given but only for those who are Stax savvy.
But for a new audio enthusiast unfamiliar with Stax don't get informed about the Stax fart from reviews. More holistic reviews would be more informative to its readers.

Would have to bought used. Neither Justin or Birgir make the KGSS anymore.
$950 shipped isn't a bad price for a 717.
the 727 in classified (US voltage 110v, no need for step-down transformer.), is a better deal than that japan 717.

Oh, you want to cherry pick your OOP, hard-to-find Kevin Gilmore complement rather than just taking what is available.
Buy it, send it to a community builder and you have a great amp.

I got mine, 717, a month ago from Yahoo Japan auctions for I'd say $540 USD if you include tax and split shipping in half between the two items I imported. $450 before the i believe 10% tax and about $82 for shipping with both items.

IF you get a 727, have the "global feedback mod" done (Kevin Gilmore - Birgir "Spritzer")!!

Does it change the sound?you could always do the easy to DIY "straw mod" to get rid of that "fart"
I wear glasses and have never once heard the so-called "fart" from my SR-009s. I've had them for 4-5 years now. I was well aware of the "fart" before I purchased. I'm not sure if any reviews discuss it, but it comes up in this topic and elsewhere fairly often. Is it a big issue for you?
