I can't handle this, I hope some of this stuff is actually an improvement.

I am very pleased to have the Omega II back in the house at present, even if they are just a loaner pair. I'll need to get a move-on and get my KGSS built.  I did have a quick listen to my LNS before I sent them off for a very regrettable sale -- it's much as I remembered -- they are brighter, but still very "fun" with plenty of bass and loads of detail.  The O2s have a more spacious sound with more detail.  The LNS have the best balance of intimacy vs. headstage on my rig, however.  It should be noted that the gear I own tends to throw quite a wide soundstage from its balanced configuration.
 
I'll see if there isn't a chance for me to go to Tokyo and try the Omega IIIs if possible.  Bit of a long-shot though.

I wish I could go too, but I work that day and I live in Osaka!

After all this time in Japan, I never got a chance to meet with fellow head-fiers, that'd be an easy way to meet!

 

[reiserFS]

Sweet mother, look at that Omega III!

 

[Maxvla]

Very interested in the O3s. Will be interesting to see how they compare.

Go to the Festival for us and make sure you bring a camera

O3's? Oh my!  I'll have to pick some up someday...
 
For now I'll settle for a lowly SR2050II system.
It's in the mail, I cant wait to hear it.
 
This is my 50th post.
I'm crossing the line from being a n00b to well, er, being a newbie.
Two months of draining my wallet exploring what the dynamic world has to offer.
Now I have the urge to climb the mountain a little higher to see
what the stat thing is all about. I'm sure I wont be disappointed.
 
Someone on Head-Fi said this hobby is like a drug addiction.
I cant get enough. Gonna mainline some Stax. Weeeeeeee!

SR-Omega III? Looks like I should not miss the fall headphone festival at Fujiya...

From the little I understood, this is just a prototype at this stage but there's a chance to have it unveiled at the end of the month?

Ouch, I did not plan on this for xmas...

 
Nice!
Our dreams for an Omega III may have been heard - 13 years after the Omega II was released.
 
Stax sure seem to be on a major roll these days. First the SR-404 Limited, then the SR-507, SR-407, SR-307 and now what looks like an SR-007 successor. Awesome!

Kai, you just thought buying an apartment would prevent any audio purchases.

He he
No, I was fully aware that it would not end. Have to admit I mostly listen to speakers these days though - and need new ones somewhere down the road.

 

[Mr.Sneis]

Alright.  So o2 mk1.
 
Changing pads.
 
Is there some sort of plastic or rubber seal piece involved in this process that can be accidentally broken?
