I have received SRD7 that I have bought from Spritzer a couple days ago. This little amp connected to a cheap vintage integrated amp sounds really good. I am actually quite surprised because many people here said SRD7 has its limitation when used with 007. Now, I haven't heard BHSE or WES or KGSS so my experience is very limited but I think this combo is quite comparable to 717. Maybe it is due to Spritzer's modifications?
I could easily tell the difference between 717 and T1S, especially in bass area. However, SRD7 is much closer to 717 performance level. At this stage, I don't even know which one I would keep (until I get my hands on KGSSHV). I guess I need to spend some more time comparing two. I might really sell my 717 after getting the proper speaker amp for SRD7.
heh,
About the clipping:
something weird is going on: past around 3 o'clock volume knob, the srm-300 also starts clipping like my srm-252a...
With the SRS-2050A I thought it was maybe the earspeakers, the amp or the power supply...
Except the SRM-300 has its own power supply. And this happens with both the SR-202 and 404...And with 3 sources - musiland 02 us, aune mk2 with OPA2604 (sound cuts off at 3/4) or LME49720 (starts clipping like the other two), or my Sony MD system.
Incidentally it happens in two different rooms(at this point I'm open to mystical explanations).
The same tracks are completely fine using the Aune mk2 + denon D5000 (Audacity shows no clipping regions in the tracks.)
In other words I have a slight suspicion that my SRM-252 wasn't faulty and something else entirely is going on.
Would be people be so kind to try an extract from the Mozart concerto that's clipping (among other tracks) and post whether it happens on their setup (and what driver unit, earspeakers they use, as well as what the stax driver unit is plugged into) or not at high volumes (vol knob at 3 o'clock+) : http://rapidshare.com/files/408121060/Track_1.flac (flac, apprx 500kb and 8s)
p.s. yes, normally 12 o'clock on the volume knob is really loud, but some classical music sounds somewhat quiet at even 3 o'clock.
I too like the sound of my SRD7 mk2 better than my T1S. I don't know if this is due to preferring SS to tube or just because I really like the sound of my amplifier.
I bet they sound even better with Luxman amp that you have paired with SRD7!
Luxman plus Stax is a pretty hard combo to beat.
All of the stax amps are fully DC coupled. So if your source for some reason has even as low as 50 millivolts of DC, then
when you turn up the volume knob, the dc is amplified just like the ac, and the amp clips either the top or bottom rail.
If you put a pair of decent 10uf non-electrolytic caps in the input line and the problem goes away, its probably DC coming
from your source.
Remember the amps have a dc gain of more than 50db, so it does not take much dc to cause problems.
