The Stax Thread III

Hi there,
I recapped 2 amps this weekend, a SRM-1 and a SRM-1 mk2 professional, with the first one I notice a humm
in the left earspeaker (with any source connected and not dependent from the volume). When I connect a source the hum is difficult to ear but it's still there. Somebody have the schematic of this amplifier?

For the second one mk2 I didn't notice any humm but if I increase the volume at maximum, I notice a humm (without any source connected) is it normal for this amps? otherwise both sound great with my srd5

Thanks

Did you rebalance and reset the offset on the amps after fixing them up?

First one sounds like a ground loop though. I'd try connecting a wire between the ground lug and the source chassis and see if that doesn't solve it.

it is incredible that after having OFFICIALLY shown the SRM212 prototype a year AGO, at there is no more news about it

  Maybe because it was never approved by Stax themselves? ...

 
It was displayed on STAX's  booth at CES 2016 !  So... it was an OFFICIAL Stax prototype.

I've been waiting for the SRM212 DAC/AMP for some time now and it's no where in sight at Stax website. I'm sure a product that takes so long to release must be fine tuned to almost perfection....Oh well, let's see if it is

Not quite, it was an edifier booth with what seems like a loose canon ( stax us distributor ). But maybe you know better...

The Chinese company Edifier owns STAX.

I've recently had business dealings with David Ip in the video and he is a real stand-up guy. I believe he is working to straighten out the known STAX distribution issues in North America. I look forward to his efforts here.

Good point. Stax USA has certainly left a lot more to be desired in terms of customer service. Thankfully the Canadian distributer is really good to deal with from what I hear.
