Hello. I'm very new to Stax world and need an advise what to buy. 1500-2200 usd. I have HD800 and LCD 4... Stax should be better in SQ... I have tried L700 at the Munich High End show and was very impressed. I have an offer for Lamda pro + ED1 + SRM 1 MK2 for 2000 usd. Is it worth to buy? Or...

I'm checking to see if there's interest in forming an event in the RDU/Chapel Hill area.

I'm planning to buy Stax L300's tomorrow, after I've had 2 nights to contemplate the fact that I'll need 5-year plans and virtual slavery to fix my personal economy afterwards. I think it will be worth it. I'll be done sidegrading. Maybe. Maybe I'll just pull a Jordan Belfort to finance...

Latest News: It seem Stax got the same idea, just a few months late. L700mk2 has been anounced with Aluminium baffles and, you guessed it, detachable cables! Stax Facebook Page Pictures: (I love y'all but don't trust you just yet with my face :smile_phones:) Imgur Album...

I love to listen to my Stax headphones and my CLS II and stacked Quad ESL loudspeakers. Of course, some songs sound better than others. For those of you with similar passions, I'd love to hear your recommendations of songs and albums that really play to the strengths of your electrostatic...

I own a Woo Audio Wee, and i am looking for other energizers to power my Stax with, if it will make a difference or not sound-wise. I am running my Woo Wee on a Bryston 2B-LP, which is powering SR-007 Mk2s (port mod). Would exercise the idea of finding an energizer i can run off a powerful...

Price revealed on stax's site. Sorry if I'm late to this info. Hopefully we'll see a release date/sound reviews this weekend.. really curious about "improvements".

Hello everyone! I'm working on a STAX rig and im pretty set on the SR-L700 but I would like to have others thoughts on a few things. You see I like things that arent to dark or to bright. Say the HD800, Beyer, HE-6 are to bright for me in the treble. While the SR007, LCD, Monoprice planars...

Hi This is the upgrade i am looking for, BUT how big is the difference in percentages % between the two sets ?

Hey guys, please share any impressions and updates about this exciting upcoming portable STAX driver! (I don't feel like searching through all the STAX forums in the future for this info :confounded:, just so it's all in one place).

Hello, forum newb here! (Well actually I've been here for a few months but am just now getting around to making my newb thread.) Figured I'd try and get this new member tag removed from my back. For my first topic I'd like to discuss the one and only: Stax. I've owned various hifi-headphones...

TLDR; Taking my current Odac/Objective 2 + Stax SRM-252s setup and building it into a single chassis, while adding VU meters. Please skip to the Challenges section, because I do need some help with this! Inspiration: Stax SRM-212 Protype (Showcased at CES2016) My imagination. The actual...

What DAC or AMP/DAC would be a good choice for $600 or less that would work well with the STAX lineup? Currently looking at the Chord Mojo, iFi iDSD Black Label, Topping DX7

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your insights! I just came back from Japan, and brought back some nice STAX loot — a used SR-009 and a SRM 006ts amplifier. I tried them both in Japan and they sounded great (compared to my current SR 407 and SRM 3). Both of the components are used, the...

Hi, all. I'm new to the group, and appreciate the collective wisdom I've already seen. I do have a specific question: what do all y'all think would be a fair price to ask on this site and on A'gon (and eBay, I s'pose) for a Stax SR-007 (Mk 1) and an SRM-717 (also Mk 1) system in what I would...

Hello Everyone. I've just bought a pair of SR-5 & SRD-6 combo. Been playing the SR-5s off my SRM-1 MK-2 and they sound detailed and fun. Obviously they are not big on the bass department, but I noticed that if I pushed the headphones towards my head and created a better deal, the bass was more...

Hello head-fi people, I just snagged Stax Sigma (Pro?) + SRA-12S AMP for $220 imported from Japan yahoo auctions. Should be getting it in a few days.. Can anyone tell me if I can safely plug this into the outlet in the USA? Does it need re-wiring? Yahoo auction: STACKS STAX SR - Λ STAX...

Hi, help me to choose! I know, they are really different, but I am switching from an HE-400i and can't decide. Both are about the same price (with amp and dac). I'd like to go with the L-300, but I fear it doesn't have enough bass (at least 400i quantity). As for the M1060, after listening to...

I have been looking around the forum about entry level stax systems. Some people say once you hear an electrostsic you can't go back. So after looking around I have seen for sale stax sr 3, 5 and 40. The 3 comes with the srd 5 energiser. The sr5 is 250 and doesnt come with an energiser. The sr40...

Well, I have just gotten home from Japan and Hong Kong and had the mispleasure of listening to the SR-007mkII and SR-404s at Yobodashi and SoftMap; I say "mispleasure" because now I want these but they are way too far out of my budget.   My question is: Should I save up to eventually get one...

Do you still sell Stax gear - I found in an old 2007 post that at that time you handled Stax headphones. If you have access to Stax gear, can you get any of their amps (717, 727?).
