I was on the Isle of Wight last week. Just off the South coast of England. I took this photo (among others). This was the site of the 1970 rock festival - the largest ever with 700,000 audience. Hendrix headlined, which attracted a who's who of rock legends (Baez, Dylan, Cohen, The Who, Miles Davis, ELP, Free, etc etc) The second photo is what it looked like from the same place in 1970
^^ Right now, I would say both -- watched a lot of their live stuff over the last week and it confuses me - so I have to minimize browser and just listen.
Now, GoGo Penguin... I cannot turn away from these guys... putting out killer jazz..
Fucking hell... I'll buy one. How bad can it be...famous last words..
Funny how they can do a proper 6 core flat ribbon cable at this price but Hifiman can't do it on a 50k$ product...
The 323 had a p-channel jfet as the input, +/-350v power supplies, 2sa1968 as the current source for the drivers etc.
The 353 is a srm717 with all of the extra transistors removed. Very similar to kgss. D50 is identical to 353 running at slightly lower power and lower voltage. Current source is resistors on both.
T8000 also uses resistors for the current source.
seems that stax has run out of 2sa1968.
d10 uses apex opamps with a power supply of +/-175, not great for large voltage swings.
stax may be forced into using parts in the future that it does not want to use for some reason.
