The Stax Thread III

  I had the HE60, so I could use it with my Stax SRM-T1, which was a very good combination.

 
Yup. combination is good to my ears as well. Not stellar but good. bass and overall sound lack a bit of impact and heft. I hope the SRX plus will bring what I looking for. :)

  I'm getting them impression that many non-Stax  Estat cans have varying bias' and/or different connection plugs than Stax and thus cannot be hooked directly to Stax or KGSSHV style amps or am I'm not quite understanding this correctly?

 
Kingsound, Hifiman, and Mr. Speaker all are using STAX bias and connectors. Others might not.

I re-terminated my ESP950's with a Stax pro-bias plug.  Drove them with my KGST.  They didn't improve markedly from using the Koss energizer.  A bit better with the KGST, but they didn't hold a candle to my 007A's.  Buy them used if you elect to go down that path is my recommendation.

I have a LL2 SS and like it.
What's the general consensus of the Cavalli Liquid Lightning amps here? I've seen the new version is going to be launched soon, but I don't normally read about the previous models.
what new version are you talking about?

I thought the 2/2T are only estimated to be out in June, as their production only started mid-April? That's exactly the version I was talking about, didn't think they'd already be in people's hands :) Was curious about the 2T myself, the design looks really slick too.

How long have you had the LL2? And I'm assuming you use an SR-009 with it?

I've never used a Cavalli LL but I've read a lot of negative reviews about it.


Negative reviews? Where would that be?

I have the LL2 solid state amp and am very happy with it. I use it with the 007 Mk1 & Mk2, 009 and the L700.

I have had the LL2 solid state for a while now...

I notice you're in Singapore, will be down again with work next week, do you of know anywhere locally where I might demo the LL2/LL2T with Stax headphones? Or did you get yours direct from the States?
