I'm in Tokyo for a couple of days this week and would like to pick up a pair of 407's. Can anyone recommend a shop? I am also considering used. I believe Yodobashi has them in stock but they are just about the most expensive option in town - let me know if you know of a better price. Thanks.

Could you pick me up a pair of 009's to go too please

J-Pak posted up a Spritzer-modded SRD-7 on the FS forums, if anybody's interested in picking one up.  Tilpo?

I'm working with another head-fier on getting an SRM-T1 for a reasonable price. Maybe a bit overkill for a pair of 202's, but it does mean that I don't have to upgrade the amp for the coming years. I still have my doubts whether an energizer is sonically on par to a decent amplifier.

The T1 amps pair great with Lambdas.

I personally wouldn't buy them from Yodobashi. Go check out a store called Teron 110 (http://www.tereon.co.jp/). Back in Feb, they quoted me Y327,000+ for the SR-009. I almost bit the bullet until I came across a 2nd hand one that looks like new for much cheaper (http://fujiya-avic.co.jp/).
 
In some of the videos and pix, you may have seen a stack of SR-009s, those are from Dynamic Audio (http://www.dynamicaudio.jp/). But I didn't enquire on their price.
 
The cheapest retail I've seen was Tereon for new. The only other way I know to get it cheaper would be online stores (and not by much...maybe just $100 saving max).

Has anyone ever received a email reply from STAXUSA.COM?
 
Why the hell there's a contac form if they don't give it a damn?

Try again in Chinese.

My SR-202's just arrived. The cable and earpads are new, and apart from the leather on the headband being a bit worn they are in seemingly mint condition.

Unfortunately I can't use them yet. I did try to wear them for a moment, and I have to admit that they are incredibly comfortable. A lot more comfortable than they look, at least.

Stax USA is Yama's. They aren't big on getting back to anyone.

I sent them 2 emails so far asking when the SR-009 will be back in stock since I have been waiting for mine for 4 weeks. No response yet.
Today I tried to find the eamil address for the company in Japan and cound not find one. Apparently they cancel thier address and ask people to go though their country distributor. That would be find is the distributor has some cusotmer service

Why hasn't stax done anything so far .. Aren't they aware of what's going with yama ?

 

[EddieE]

Company's just been bought out, anyone's guess what's going on behind the scenes...

 

[Maxvla]

People wonder why Stax was doing poorly then you see distributors like Yama's.

I had a pair of O2's repaired by Yama this winter. 
 
They got back to me.  I sent the phones to them and paid them promptly, and left them alone for a month.
 
They came back.  They are fixed.
 
No complaints.
