They were in one of the two silver flight cases, so you missed smelling them. Sorry.

Maybe with my friend's Jadis Orchestra tube amp

Did you manage to have a listen with the Jadis yet? It would be nice to hear about it since I don't know of anyone else with a Jadis/Stax combo

I have tested my Lambda's with... lesser... amps and THERE is a substantial difference. So much so that the Stax is now resident in my listening room and not in the office anymore

No, I couldn't and I may never will because I sold them

But with the Audiolab amp was pretty good driving the Sigma. My friend told me that he compared the SRD-7 SB and SRD-7 MK2 SB (using the normal bias socket) and the latter clearly sounded better so the parts used in the adapter seem to matter as well.

You sold something before ever listening to it?

Friend, it is time to take a look at your life.

You misunderstand, I couldn't try it with my friend's amp but that doesn't mean I didn't try it with others.

Hey so I'm new to stats and was wondering if there's a proper way of turning them on/plugging in. With my dynamic cans I have always first turned the amp on while leaving it at lowest volume, then plug the cans in and then turn the amp up. Then when turning off I would turn the volume all the way down then unplug them and turn the amp off.

Now i'm unsure even if my method for the dynamic headphones is proper, but that doesn't matter. Again, is there a certain way I should be powering up/off my stax headphones? I have the sr202 with srm-252II

 

[krmathis]

^ I use this method and have not ran into problems for 3 years.

Turn ON:
1. Plug in headphone (if unplugged).
2. Turn on the amplifier.
3. Get some music going (Play).
4. Turn volume up to appropriate level.

Turn OFF:
1. Turn volume all the way down.
2. Stop music.
3. Turn of the amplifier.
4. Unplug headphone (or leave them in).

Need help!
My old Stax Srm-1/mk2 energizer no output for PRO headphones. On the PCB is empty space for a pro bias supply. Prompt please where to get the schematic or what components I need to install here (parameters).
Thanks

krmathis, you forgot to include LOVE before and after,

0.1. Take out of the airtight padded hardcase
0.2. Visually admire them
0.3. Delicately caress with a microfiber cloth
0.4. Delicately blow any dust particles that have dared to touch them

 

[spritzer]

I'm currently testing one of these.

After having listened to my new stax for a couple days now, I have to say I have caught myself doing all of that. I woke up today and just laid in my bed staring at my stax wondering if I was dreaming still hahaha.

Anyway, I have a question! So I'm using the sr202 and was wondering how I should go about placing them on my ears. Should I place them farther forward & down like I have read you should do with dynamic headphones? I'm starting to doubt it even matters with these babies since they haven't left me unimpressed yet.
