What mislead? Why do I have to justify? How long have you used your STAX? I have used my SRM-T1S for 23years. it's a period long enough. I have used STAX products for about 40 years
(including STAX speakers).
I have met Mr. Hayashi, who established STAX for some times at 'Audio Fair' in Tokyo and at the STAX listening room in Ikebukuro in Tokyo. ( Now STAX doesn't have such room in Tokyo any more)
He was a good old man. I visited the listening room many times and listened to amps and speakers of STAX. You know about STAX sound more than me? I never believe in it. Of course I didn't listen
to all the products of STAX, but about earspeskers, I followed STAX until now. SRM-007tA was necessary to draw the full performance of SR-L700. And thanks to SRM-007tA, SR-404 Limited revived.
