Lets not get ahead of our selfs, I'll let you know when the board has been tested and then I can sell what I have extra. If there is more demand then for those that I have on hand, then I'll order extra boards.

If you have a drill then I don't see any reason why one can't add a power cable.

If you have a SB unit with the 3rd transformer then it could work with the new board. The connections will all have to be done off board and such but I have to see the schematic to be sure.

Anyone knows the rating of the slow blow fuse for the stax 717? It's the one located near the transformer. Brought the fuse out to bring it to the hardware store, but looks like I've dropped it in my friend's office... Duh

there are also 2 more fuses near the capacitors, F1 and F2, would appreciate if anyone knows the rating . Thanks!


The slow-blow fuse is 1.5A and the other two on the HT lines are 0.1A.

Noticed that they used the Toyo fuses... went to the neighbourhood hardware shop and they only have 1A or 2A. Will make a trip down tomorrow to a specialised shop, hopefully they have the Japanese made ones (and no, not those gold-plated ones that cost like USD$40, that's just way off the chart).

He does not mention any in his post.

I'm thinking of ordering some new pads for my sr-lambda normal bias cans. I was browsing at audiocubes2, which version is a match for mine? I'm actually more curious then anything to see what the cans sound like with fresh foam on the inside. mine is disintegrating obviously.

I have been listening to the 404's connected to a Yamaha amplifier via SRD-7 MKII. Beethovens 9th symphony, 4th movement actually sounds better then when using the SRM-006t. When the choir sings loud, there is occasional distortion via SRM-006 but not with the SRD-7 MKII. Another interesting aspect that may horrify purists is that if I use the 6 channel stereo mode in the Yamaha amplifier, the soundstage increases tremendously with no sound degradation. It is not good for all recordings but in some of them it makes a large and nice difference. I really like the 404's not withstanding the bumps in frequencies that bothers some users.

That looks like the amplifier, not stax transformer.
