Hello! I have a Stax SRM-3 amplifier which I bought from Japan some years ago and had converted to run on 240V mains by a local amplifier repairer. It's always had a slight hum, and recently it's developed some distortion in one channel. Can anyone recommend a repairer? It would be great if...

Thank you!

I'm pleased to hear your problem's resolved. What is UM's service email address please? (I also have UM phones, but I haven't kept the box they came in.) Thank you

Mine is still lovely, FWIW. I almost sold it recently, but I'm glad I didn't.

If anyone's interested in a Stax Sigma (normal bias), there's one on eBay. It's mislabelled as something else. It's not labelled correctly - it's called "cuffia elettrostatica stax anni 90". Bidding starts at 300 Euros. It's not mine, so questions to the seller, please, not to me...

I've found out what the problem was. It wasn't my Stax Sigmas. It wasn't the amplifier. It wasn't my imagination. It was wax in my ears! FIxed that, and now the Sigmas are just a little bassy but not boomy at all, except on a small number of very bassily mastered recordings (some very heavy...

Of course I'm not going to remove the wool! I was talking about trimming it back. See previous posts about that.

I've just tried these phones with an SRM-353X and an SRM-007t MkII, and it's still much too bassy. So the problem is not the amplifier. I'm leaning towards taking out a little bit of the mineral wool. I understand that the amount of mineral wool varied over the years, and I now think it's...

I live in the foothills of a not-fantastic-but-acceptable mountain, a half-hour walk from a great beach. :)

It's the tiny Stax SRM-Xh. I will try to listen to the Sigmas with a better amplifier. (Any Australians like to help me with that?) But the boominess is HUGE. I'm pretty sure that either it's a matter of me getting used to the Sigma sound or there's something wrong with the phones. It can't...

Some people way above have been talking about using Sigmas with Dolby Headphone and similar things. I just tried mine with Out Of Your Head speaker simulation software, and the placement of the sounds was so weird it made me want to barf. Which is what I'd expect (although the effect was more...

I've just acquired some Sigma Pros, having previously had Lambda Pros. Without EQ, my new (!) Sigma Pros have such a boomy bass and so little treble that they're almost unlistenable. I wonder whether the problem is likely to be the following, and if so what to do about it. I'm a bit loathe to...
