Obviously olive drab and brown to match the colours of the STAX being sold.

I was thinking piano black and silver rings. Or maybe something black and white. Or dark red and black. Or black and baby blue like the one's Jude has.

Umm... the fact that my imbalanced channel is buzzing... isn't a good thing right?

All I know is that I would pay good money for a channel imbalance troubleshooting guide or compendium, because sifting through this monster of a thread just isn't cutting it.

I'll send one of my pairs in to get just the drivers painted silver, brighten up the sound a little
 
Maybe a black frame to create a color gradient that widens the soundstage, that's definitely lacking too

No pants,
 
You're hilarious.
 
Thanks

I don't think I'll be lucky as some... 
 
continuous music playing isn't doing much. Probably going to stay away from the Staxes in the future. I'm just not a lucky person.

Colorware indeed doesn't colorware things not on there list. I emailed them little while ago if they can colorware my hd800 for $2000 they said no. Colorwaring Stax headphones is just a plain stupid idea.

Ask them now..

Ask them now..

Didn't they do yours pre......

part of me is thinking the same thing, what with my first brand new pair having all sorts of issues, and the first amp I bought having issues, maybe I'm just not lucky enough for Staxes...but...I want that magic that the Sr-009s provide, so I hope i dont have problems for too long

 
The Staxen are a fickle beast

I bought mine from them.  He is wanting a re paint.  I think they're doing re paints now.  Not sure though.

 

[DefQon]

Yeah they are offering the repainting service again. Thing is, don't have the 800's no more. If I buy another HD800, this will be the 4th one I'm on lol. Maybe in the future.

Mmk I went around the house and took some voltage measurements into and out of the step-down transformer. The values were more or less the same:
 
Input: ~123-124 V
Output: ~108-109 V
Wall wart DC voltage: 17.5-17.8 V

 

[DefQon]

Why are you so concerned about measuring AC wall points and voltage from step down transformers. I think you spend more time measuring voltage than listening to the headphones itself.

Given that people's STAX are getting killed left and right, quite literally, I'm trying to be cautious about how I use my pair.

I don't think I've learned my lesson. My hands are itching for a Lambda Signature.
