New Stax owner here. After months of shopping around I found something in my budget to dip my toe in. Got ahold of a SRS-2050 basic system at what I think is a pretty good price and so far I'm loving it. I totally get what people say about the detail and ability to resolve.
My only complaint is the pads on the SR-202 ear speakers and I've ordered a set of 507 pads from Japan which I hope will help with that.
I'm sort of wondering what people general upgrade path has been like. Is the sound 80/20 ear speaker to energizer?
Any advice (besides selling plasma for some 09s) or info for a first time 'stat owner is appreciated.
I feel these work better with the ZMF oval lambskin earpads than the 507 pads. Better seal overall and comfort.
You can get the adapters for your SR-202 here
