[astrostar59]

Maybe, but not the impressions on those HPs will change for you if driven better, I promise you.

I am having 2nd thoughts on selling the amp and phones... but other than that, yes it’s still for sale, maybe...

Selling BHSE and 009 ? You would move to an upgraded of.....the so called Shangrila JR ? Or SusVara....or Shambala....Mokala ... ? Or what

Best wishes with your sale. Nothing else will sound the same. Maybe you shouldn't sale
I like solid state amplifiers only.

I agree with Ali-Pacha. These are classic pieces, and even if you don't have a lot of listening time now, you may in the future. And, it's already paid for.

Maybe, but at 6K it might be worth letting it go? No real loss from new. Most used hifi looses 50% in the first year.

That is because these amps are timeless, if good condition.

1/ these are not massively productions, and is ordered to taste. Without Justin and headamp, it isn’t possible.
2/ these amps are great to pair with any Stax, and they sound beautiful
3/ commercially seek for a good builder and reputable one isn’t easy, and even if you found someone, it wouldn’t be cheap, and is depend on what you are looking to as the end result.

So, in the end, these are timeless pieces. Because they are not really a massively produced equipments. Whatever is out there right now, is not even a fraction of the demands . How many times do you see BHSE at any meets ? Or dealers ? It may take a couple more years to do encounter them more frequently, and even so....ordering them isn’t easy

I know this has been asked 100 times but the stax fart is normal and nothing to worry about?

I have a modded 007 SZ2 and don't want to mess anything up accidently.

Farting with Stax is very normal, and the Stax fart is normal too.

Okay good. My wife tells me not to fart on my headphones but I'll have to tell her it's normal and to be expected.

Oh my Gawd! My life changed ! Pics of before and after

Thanks you Dr. Kevin Gilmore! You are truly a Legend and without you, none of this would be possible. Thanks to you with all the Thanks I could give Sir!

Thanks to George and his chassis, and some obsolete hard to find sands, advises, very very much!

 

[Whitigir]

Not sure if George still has his Chassis to sell, but if you ever dream about this T2, you better buy it. George is very experienced in building T2 ! Without George, I would have my head in the toilets....LOL. Without sir Dr. Kevin Gilmore, this became impossible !
