someone has experience of the microzotl + the Woo wee for electrostatic Stax ? is it possible to match the zotl with that and to have good result ?

 

[richard51]

probably nobody had expertise about microzotl and woo wee combination... its not a known amp...But if some " god knows all of audio" had some advise and information expertise... i will be glad to hear ? thanks

Haven't heard that combo but it sounds fantastic with my WA5/WEE combo if not the best with my HE-Audio Jade and other stax phones.
 
Enjoy music!

thanks very much to you for your woo wee recommendation .... Nobody cant tell me if microzotl 2 will be convenient with the woo wee, even less good.... its a shame because this amp seems not to costly and very interesting...

From researching this amp it is really designed for low power headphones that are not power hungry to drive them.
 
here is a insert from "Enjoy the music"
 
The ultimate test came via my reference phones: the STAX SR-X with the SRD-7 Pro interface. The interface module was connected directly to the amp’s speaker binding posts. The SR-X (a supraural design) is weakest in the bass range, and the Berning while resolving what there was, did not add any gratuitous bass kick. Electrostatic headphones are well known for their speed, control, and felicity of expression, and the SR-X is no exception. Imagine a Formula 1 racing car speeding along a tight course, firmly hugging the track through each hairpin turn. The SR-X is just like that with musical transients. Its clarity and control were allowed full freedom of expression. Inner detail was allowed to float to the surface of audibility effortlessly and without any artificial harmonic etching or ringing. Together, these components forged a natural and synergetic partnership. The treble range was reproduced with exceptional extension and air, and without any electronic artifacts. At no time did I feel that the Berning was impeding the performance of the STAX: high praise indeed for a $680 amplifier.
 
​Maybe you should try the Dared 300b mono blocks they are also fantastic substitution when properly setup and modified and I must say they rival my WA5 which is 5x times the price.

i am not sure to understand your point.... this extract say that the first microzotl is good with the stax sr-x via srd-7...will it be also good with the lambda nova via a woo wee or a srd-7 9 i think a woo wee will be better) ? what do you think ?

thanks for your attention and time

Remember the design of this amp is OTL and does not have current 1watt in 4ohms

I had both exciters and found the WEE far superior!

I have the Lambda nova signature and if it could not gave the SR-X bass kiss I really believe the  Lambda nova will be very reveling  as the article stated without bass kick and goes back to the lack of power.

ok the point is made microzotl was not a good choice for  the woo wee....Perhaps i will live with the srm 252s i drive my lambda nova basic with that coupled to a tube (7193 tubes) pre amp Ember with very good results...But with this same amp the he 400 is my prefered choice, the sound is more natural and 3-d, I had modedd the he 400 with sorbothane patches on the exterior cups and that transform them in high end phones.... phenomenal transformation ! by the way you must read this thread of EdStrelow  :
 

Damping Mechanical Resonance Distortion of STAX phones with SORBOTHANE: LAMBDAS, SRXIII PRO, SR003, SR00, the SIGMA and various non-STAX

 
i really think that is the most important news on this site: all headphone are plagued with  internal vibration, with the sorbothane the result are near miraculous.... Its the  most single transformation i had experimented.... like the marvelous 7193 tubes....thanks for your kind interest

 I dont want to buy a costly amp for stax and an another one for my hifiman....I am indecided  for the road to go... I want to better the stax but also the hifiman... The woo wee was the means....ok good weeks my friend

Thank you for the tip. I will definitely will read the article. Which Hifiman model do you have?

he 400....i dream to buy he 6 and sorbonothized it.....

 
 
finally i will buy a srm 323 probably for the stax lambda and the microzotl for the he 400...I am obsessed by the microZOTL , my intuition said that its a deal for the price....

I'd suggest holding out for a SRM-T1 or Woo GES for your Lambdas if you want a stand alone STAX amp.  I'm not a big fan of the recent STAX brand solid state amps.

 

[Audiogalore]

That is why I recommended the Yaqin or the dared because you get great result from your dynamics as well as your electrostatics when connected to a Wee without killing your bank account

. Plus if you are a listener of jazz and classical than a nice set of 300b will make you feel you are in Heaven with the luscious mids and highs that one really wants from a 300b amp. Plus these two amps put out descent power to drive those difficult phones such as the HE-6
