    Tune Time Store - Anyone purchased from them?

    I was wondering about the credibility of www.tunetimestore.com. They only accept PayPal as their only method of payment, which (to me) is kinda sketchy.    Has anyone purchased from these guys, if so, how was your experience?

    The Stax thread (New)

    Listening to Matisyahu's "Live at Stubb's" album out of the O2s and I am absolutely stunned. Live music in general sounds incredible. I've had these for almost a year and just can't press how detailed and clear these headphones are. One of the best investments I've ever made in my life.

    Things an electrostat noob should know?

    I think not having any water around electronics in general is a basic principle to follow.    As for the 717, I've never noticed a difference from letting the headphones charge for more than a few minutes. It would probably be a good idea to charge up the headphones for a few hours though if...

    How I got to my my happy place, (formerly the how to spend $3000 thread)

    Uncle Erik is right. Throughout my headphone journey I've realized that the amp provides a considerable improvement on a rig. Even Apple earbuds sounded stunning out of my Moth EC2a3.

    How to feed speakers and headamp with one DAC - ???

    Ask Jack to add a pair of pre-amp outputs on the back of the amplifier. You could run the speakers off of the WA6.

    Stax SR-404 -> Free to a good home (Giveaway)

    I am amazed that you still haven't found an amplifier yet. My advice to you is to stop fiddling around with the "negotiating" and just buy one for the asking price.

    Poll best electrostatic headphones for trance and electronic music?

    Quote: Originally Posted by krmathis What? The K1000 is moving coil not electrostatic... Oops... I meant an "other" headphone besides an electrostatic one. In that case I'd stick with the O2. As catscratch said, this bass myth is absurd.

    Poll best electrostatic headphones for trance and electronic music?

    Without a doubt the K-1000. Wonderful imaging and soundstage. The vibrations in the music are incredible. The O2 does it pretty well too but the air around the different sounds isn't there like it is with the K-1000.

    What was the component that started the slippery slope

    Denon c751, I bought them and later stopped listening to them in favor of some Audioengine A5 speakers. I pulled them out of a drawer one day and tried them out again. The tone and detail was wonderful. Ended up ordering an RS-1 the next day.
