  I was in the same situation 3 years back. What I did was buy the 007s and a used 717 Stax amp. The 717 is better sounding than the stock 727 or 007T or 323. Or go for the 009s and have that sorted. Then when you get chance to hear other non Stax amps decide whether you want to take that next step. IMO the current 007A (not the earlier 007 MK2 and the 009 are way ahead of the other Lambda based units, so going for the full size over ear 007A and 009 gets you one the right path sonically.
 
I would not spend the full list on a new Stax amp.

Thank you

Bwhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Kevin Gilmore has designed and built more TOTL amps than you have taken bowel movements in your short life!

 
Yeah so what. What is your point? I'm just curious why he is a proud owner when he goes out of his way to say bad things about them. Pretty legit question and he does not have to answer if he does not want to. Glad I could make you laugh chukles.

My point was to ridicule your questioning of Kevin's "street cred". That's as ******* ignorant as some pathetic Millennial demanding Buzz Aldrin defend that he actually did walk on the moon 47 years ago. :rolleyes:

I wasn't really questioning Kevin's street cred. My question was why give SP props.

I have an old amp on the way.
The outside will need fresh paint.
Might as well clean the dust and debris out of the inside while I have the cover off.
How long do the cap's hold power for in the old Stax amps?
Hours? Days? Until it's discharged???

I don't know if Stax put bleed down resistors in their circuits, but suggest you use a DVM to first test the PS caps to be sure before you dig into the amp.

THIS ^^
 
They need to do that, because nobody buys Stax in Europe (5000€ for SR-009).
They've been fixing the prices with the L500 and L700 and SRM-353X, price is more or less the same than in Japan but the rest of the products are twice the price.

For that price, take a trip to the US, get them for ~$3300 on amazon/ebay, and enjoy NY, Chicago, SF, Portland...

Need some help from the Stax experts.  Is there any issue with hooking up an SDR 7 low bias adapter to a modern receiver?  I have a Sony DN850 7.2 channel receiver.    Thanks

Yeah, I understand what's your point and is completely valid, but what I tried to say is that is always difficult to buy Stax at a "fair price", they need a more conventional sales method and pricing, like Sennheiser for example, HD800S costs more or less the same in every part of the world.
My english is not perfect and I use posting in forums or watching movies to improve it, so I understand that sometimes is difficult to understand what I write.
