While I'm willing to believe that your statement is true, for my purposes it wouldn't matter a great deal. I imagine they're both perfectly competent cables, and when I plug in an extension it's usually because what I'm about to engage in is something other than "critical listening".

Usually sleeping in my big chair.

I am quite sure I have seen internal pictures of the SRD-7 MKII (or was it a Pro?) around here.
Guess you have looked through this thread, right?

There's an SRD-7 Pro picture here:

which might tell me enough, I guess.

Basically I'm being a weenie about figuring out the layout. If you've seen my P2P work you'll know why.

I have a small supply of Blu-Tak ready to go, if needed.

Thought I'd be joining the STAX high-end team this afternoon when DHL dropped off my SR-007A and was looking forward to a weekend of electrostatic bliss. Unfortunately, when I opened the heavy box, it was an SRM-007tA instead!

Hopefully PriceJapan.com has reasonable customer service and can rectify this in short order. No response to my e-mails yet, however.

I documented this in the "downsides of Stax" thread as well. Stax needs to change up their modeling scheme a little. Even their suppliers get mixed up.

I'm so sorry about your lost weekend, WilCox. I can only imagine what that must be like.

Thats quite a mix-up!
Hopefully PriceJapan stick up to it and give you an easy exchange.

Fingers crossed.

You mean you got an amp instead of phones? Whoa.

EIFL is still selling the 007A for $1750.00 shipping included for that price. I got mine from them in less than a week. I wonder if the price will continue to go down. I recall a similar slide with the 404 some years ago. Possibly Stax lowers the price as it gets back its investment.

I understand the high freq. extension is better than the old cable.
But I assume since I'm using sr404 that a bit less HF extension is
a good thing!

Seems they are sometimes confused about all the Stax stuff. Or they are dying to get rid of the 007tA's.

Maybe one reason why an 007tA stands here instead of the ordered 727A.

But I'm sure they are trying hard to find a quick fix with you, too.
First of all, this should be offering to send the 007tA back to Japan at their own expense.

All the best,
mopps

PriceJapan did get back to me a few hours ago and offered to pick up the SRM-007tA at no expense to me. They also offered me a $200 discount if I wanted to keep the amp ($1200 total cost to me). I think I will do that as I don't have the $5K right now for a "proper" amp to drive the SR-007A.

Today a pair of Stax lambda Signature and a Stax SRM-1/MK-2.P.P. arrived from Iceland! This is my first stax-equipment ever, so I really look forward to listen to it later today! Thanks for wrapping it up very good Spritzer!
