@third_eye , @warrenpchi , will Stax be present? about 3 months ago they briefly mentioned they will be present with their distributor 'Symmetry', but I see neither on your list. thanks

i get about 57x38mm. Obviously it will flex a bit, to become more.

did you try the SR-X1 with another stax amp to establish whether it was the SRM-D10ii or SR-X1 at fault?

Great impressions. So I have been trying to figure out why I find these dont lack deep bass, or bass amplitude overall, but other reports claim they do...and Im wondering if this quote above could be part of the reason... My ears are on the relative medium-small to small size, so they fit...

the MiniDSP HEQ cal file for my EARS rig

would be interested to know your thoughts vs the stats in your signature. I presume you have a SRD-7mk2 still, so that should run this well.

MiniDSP EARS (and all the caveats of it's flaws and own peaks valleys it introduces). iFi Black label DAC>SRM-313>SR-X1 . Well sealed measurements (L & R), and just lightly placed not well sealed measurements 1 channel. Real life is probably somewhere between the measurement scenarios. Note I am...

Extremely early new toy impressions (DAC> SRM-D10) (under 30 mins): Super light, the headphone is not so dissimilar in weight to the cable. Comfy on the head. Great simple and minimalistic design. I respectfully disagree with the assertions that this lacks bass. I find it is actually a...

HI Philimon, The outer part of the cups come off by rotating them. See this post by MDR30: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-new-sansui-ss-100-thread.293113/post-11670363 and this photo of the innards by Tinkerer to help you guage ...

Hi thanks for your impressions, do you have any direct comparisons against other Stax please?

Looking forward to attend :). any other vintage planar heads going hit me up.

So, this post by @MousoMachineGun here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/stax-sr-x1-new-entry-model.971680/post-18022421 suggests the SR-X1 has decent sub-bass, moreso than many other Stax, whereare your opinion was it was bass-light. Is your evaluation based on bass levels relative to other...

Really smooth and easy purchase from bebop7, good comms and posted very quickly. Would gladly deal with again.

Wow thanks! So this looks realllyy like a SR-5N successor to me , with the more open style SR-X baffles. Where are you guys getting the photos and listening impressions from? is there a Japanese website out there with people posting? thanks

TBH, looking at the side-by-side photo with SR-Xmk3, the SR-X1 driver doesnt look much bigger. It is also curious whether the SR-X1 has supra-aural or circumaural earpads...none of the photos seem to show. Here is a translated version of the Japanese leaflet:

Hi all, I'm looking for a Stax SRM-X pro (the small bronze colour amp with PB and NB sockets), if anyone has one they wouldn't mind selling, please DM me :). thank you

Great guy, very generous and shipped out super fast! thanks

Good communication, posted quickly and works well. Thank you

DM sent :)

This is very big news for this thread; the first time a really major mainstream company is producing planars in volume. Something which was of interest in this thread a decade ago. Fingers crossed it leads onto better things in terms of mainstream planars. In related news, i suppose the Yamaha...

Where can we see the floor plan? thank you

Are any of the vendors planning on demoing electrostatic headphones (Stax or others)?

Hi all, I am looking for a Beyerdynamic DT-990 pro that may have stopped working. I do not mind if the drivers do not work. Frame should be in good condition. Post to me in England UK. Thank you.

No idea if this is any good, but it looks cool :D https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=624409745078&ft=t&toSite=main (https://parcelup.com/shop/item.php?id=624409745078#4422914557614)

You can connect them to a speaker amp (see attached instructions and spec). To prevent slow-term damage to your speaker amp, ensure you connect it fully balanced (Not TRS) to the speaker amp terminals. Bridging the ground can cause some problems. I have driven them from Speaker amps in the past...
