    The Stax Thread III

    I really like Weldwood Contact Cement. It has a generous working time and you can remove it from the housing, if you wanted to put new pads on in the future. You do need some pressure while it sets and it takes a while to set-up (20 - 60 minutes). I have had great luck with it, though I have not...

    What is Questyle's 'Current Mode Amplification'

    Current mode amplification can achieve high slew rates (voltage and current change over a period of time). Think dialing down the time divisions on a scope and getting greater detail on the waveform. This gives greater detail in an amp. The legendary Mass Kobo 465, uses this along with a high...

    I'm updating the material I'm bringing. I'll bring my RME Fireface UCXII DAC. For amps, I'll bring my Sparkos Aries and Mjolnir Audio KGSSHV. For headphones, I'll bring the HD6XX, modded HE500, Stax SR-L300 Limited and Stax SR-507. I may also bring my Ultrasonic Citidel amp.

    HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.

    Just to clarify, I meant the pads when used with the 500, not their headphones. ZMF makes some great stuff! I'm excited to hear the Caldera.

    The ZMF pads were really bad on the HE500! They looked like they would work fine. I friend was loaning me his Atrium and I decided to try the pads from it. I'm glad I did not drop any money on them! I still can't get over how good the HE500 is! Simply addictive to listen to.

    Thanks for the recommendation! :) I'll probably get the DCA Ether Angled to try. Lots of people seem to like these. I know you said you don't like fenestrated pads but honestly its hard to imagine anything will outperform these cheap generic Chinese large fenestrated pu leather pads. They really...

    I'll go with your recommendation. Thanks Again! I'm definitely being too paranoid about breakage.

    I think the Fuzzor mod is worth doing. The highs on mine are smooth as butter! Absolutely no etch, overextension or harshness, even when comparing against my EQ profile that I made.

    I'll experiment with the angled pads. Mine are not angled but they sound absolutely fantastic.

    Thanks for the info!!! I will definitely have some printed. I might use Shapeways to print and use a flexible rubber like material. The 3D printed mounts I have are fragile and I accidentally broke two of them. Luckily I have extras. These mounts are so handy!
