Hi,
does anyone have any experience where the tonal differences are between an SRM-006tII and an SRM-600? I have an SRM-006tII and am considering getting an SRM-600. I only know that he has the stronger tubes, the ECC99. Otherwise, it should be pretty much the same, right? I have an SR-L500.

It’s affordable too just like when the SR-Omega came out in 1993

 

[tumpux]

I won't consider Omega affordable, even in 1993..

Lmao $1600 is a lot more affordable than forking out 4-6k for totl these days....

Bring one into Stax headquarters and tell them to evaluate. You just found a NOS-OMEGA stashed away from WWII....Like new! lol....

one way to make sure

To me,ES-1a is slightly inferior to omega on the great openess in soundstage of it and its supering-revealing detail given that the omega is still working properly. But for other aspects in sound they are very similar. ES-1a suits people who dislike the 009 or want a different music presentation from it. So I think it is a fair pricetag considering its sound,its build and the fact that ES Lab is a newly-enstablished brand.

Here is one of the few reviews from someone who auditioned ES-1a in the loan program. Although its in Chinese but its still readable using google translate. But I still saw some translating errors like tablet=planar headphones,Xiao,ao means HE60 and Da,ao means HE90. I can send out a pair for audition if one of the electrostatic experts here can give it a verdict.

ES Lab accepts orders worldwide. However,The number of ES-1 alpha orders from China has been overwhelming so I have delayed my plan to introduce this headphone to head-fiers outside China. As a result there is little exposure of es-1a here. Perhaps I can hold a es1a loan program in the future,other than the several sample headphones circulating in China.


Btw the photo on the mainpage is outdated,Now the design is revised with finer headband finishing and flatter screws on the plate.

Any details on the amp? Will it drive Stax SR-202s?

The amp is not from ES Lab but an engineer back in China. I remember that he posted information of his amp on hc. That amp costs 2000USD so it might not suit you if you are looking for an amp to pair the 202, but surely it is one of the best looking electrostatic amp available.
