Noooo! Aaagh!

Does this mean I'm going to be the only one holding the Mk2 banner? Team Mk2, where art thou? I'm beginning to feel lonely already.

Hmm, maybe Team Source First will have me.

Yup, there are also some impressions on the site which we can not speak of...

The bass is simply too bloated and prominent for it to compete with the Mk1. There is also some midrange etch that definitely shouldn't be there...

Team MK2 here, but I have no choice.

I would like to have a pair of MK1 to compare.

How would you describe the tonal balance compared to the mk1? Do they seem as transparent as the mk1? My mk2 is bloated in the midbass and doesn’t have the deep deep bass punch of the mk1. They also still have a murky quality compared to my mk1. If I listen to just the mk2 I seem satisfied, but when I put on the mk1 my jaw drops. I don’t think that the earpad is the only reason. I plan on getting a mk2 earpad and putting it on my mk1. I’m beginning to think that Stax may have changed the tension of the diaphragm (tighter) on the mk2 to reduce the “Stax fart” and has changed the sonic character. Just a thought.

If drunken posting got you banned, there would be half as many members on head-fi.
