I thought I would move to the Omega II's, but I was dissapointed when I heard them at the National meet. Dark, slow, bass hump, rolled-off highs although ultra smooth.
Should I consider another solid state amp (I do not want a tube amp) while retaining the 404's or are there other electrostatic phones that can be used with the stax amp (which I like very much).. I have already upgraded my IC's to the Top tier Cardas and am using Shunyata power cords and Hydra 8.
My sources are an Ayre CDP, Ayre phonostage and Rega P9 TT with Benz Ruby.
I am satisfied with the 717/404 combo, but wonder what a higher level of performance might offer?.
