I don't think the 353s was put into production - they built it for a show

here...

There’s a SRM-300 for sale on the site over on the Amplification Section. It has close to the same shape but not the wood overlay top.

Is this a real product? I searched and couldn't find anything but the 353X, but this form factor would be perfect for me!

It looks like a real thing.

The exhibitor stated that it was scheduled to be released in spring of 2010.

OK, so it wasn't? At least not with that fancy enclosure? Looks great!

 

[afgmjkl]

Yes, it wasn't put into production.
Only showed in 2009 fujiya avic festival.

This won’t do?

It would, but doesn't look as good as that wooden piece

I just snagged a pair of 404le

I also have HD250, and X2 NB Lambdas (1modded)

Any thoughts on the 404le including sound and amp pairing?

A built in china kgsshv could be had for 1300-1500 usd. Half what mjolnir chargers. A carbon for 2000.

Too late but I would like to add that 'phenomenon' kgsshv carbon is much better than kgst chinese build when I compared the two, on the other hand Mjolnir srd-7 was crazy good approaching or surpassing kgst levels with the right amplifier. If you are looking for super dynamic and hard-hitting bass, nothing can beat Mjolnir srd-7 with speaker amp, but you lose little details and sound-stage. (Chinese kgst was least impressive amp just a little bit better than 323s stax amp...)

Some STAX news I just saw this is this a new stealth release of Omega II's?

I'm not sure what happened there, but that stealthy black finish looks gorgeous!

Mine look like both of those depending on the angle. The central part looks black at that other angle as pictured.

Just snagged a good pair of 404le on fleebay

Here’s some teaser photos

404 Limited has the best subbass quality I've heard in a headphone, Estat or otherwise. The L300 Limited/L700 can be modded to have equivalent subbass level, but not the detail or intricities of intonation and subbass resonances of the 404 Limited. They are one note sounding compared to the 404 Limited. The 404Limited has a warm and intimate sound compared to the brighter, more open sound of the L300 Limited/L700.

I had mine paired with RME ADI-2 DAC and NAD C275BEE stereo amp with Mjolnir Audio SRD-7 estat transformer.

Thanks for the reply! I am definitely looking forward to hearing it. I didn’t really like the l300lt, and Voce at Canjam. They were too bright sounding for me.

Is the woo wee any good?

 

[tumpux]

Everything is good until you start to comparing it with other amps.
Personally I dont like Wee.. because I compared.
