 plugged them into the kgsshv and they are definitely like 10 db louder(very scientifically measured with the db meter on the iPhone) in the right channel than the left. 

HA! The infamous left channel imbalance is back.

How does the SRM-600LE stack up against the SRM-727II paired with the SR-507?

 
SR-507 = hard and cold | Valve amplifier = warm and soft

^ I would not say my 507 sound remotely bright or cold so I guess the 600LE is driving them well enough.

Is it normal for Stax to show up with channel imbalance? I got my Sr-307 in from Price Japan, plugged them into the kgsshv and they are definitely like 10 db louder(very scientifically measured with the db meter on the iPhone) in the right channel than the left. Kind of a bummer to open a brand new toy and have it be off like that

What do you plan on doing to fix it?

 

[n3rdling]

Return it for a new one...most people say PJ is good about returns right?

T1 has balance controls as well

10dB :eek: That's like double loudness and basically my HE60 situation!

Anyone know approximately how many dB of shifting the Stax balance controls are good for? I may need up to 6dBx2 (i. e. make the left 6dB quieter and right 6dB louder)... might just solder the pot back into my SRM-T1.

Hi dyna10x and Spritzers, and others. This is my first post, mainly as I haven't owned a decent pair of headphones for nearly 20 years (showing my age)! I have just acquired an SRM1/MK2 which sounds just like dyna10x's - no voltage plug, plastic cover over socket. Mine also is wired for 100V and I also need to convert to 240V. I'd be most grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

I'd say... More than 80dB depending on situation with the T1 

 (haven't tested, guess my ears won't be happy with that)

I just realized I am likely to be the only person in the world who has ever been hit by a car while wearing Stax.

 

[davidsh]

Anything happened to the headphones?!?

 

[davidsh]

Ohh, are you okay?

 

[autoteleology]

Oh, no, this was actually a while ago back when I was still in school. I'll explain it in more detail when I don't have ten minutes before I have to leave for work. Funniest thing is, I'm kind of glad it happened because it worked out very well for me.

Does anyone know where to get some original knobs for the old SRM1 amps?

Well iono what's up. The Kill-a-Watt has a third ground plug thingamabob, but the voltage transformer doesn't have that socket. Would that affect the readings though?

There's no way a 110-130 V to 110 V transformer would read ~130 V, right?

I'm at work right now so I can't give you a long answer, but anyway, that don't look right! Output of the STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER should be approx. 100 Volts!
