Greetings, headcases, this is my first post. I've gone through this whole STAX thread with mounting alarm. First I learned that Woo WEEs were badly designed and had the potential to destroy cans. And then that it seems that it had actually happened several times! There are not many engineering projects that are simpler than designing a transformer/biasing box for electrostatic headphones. How could somebody get this so wrong? This doesn't raise my esteem for the average designer of boutique HiFi gear. So what's to be done? My first idea was to insert 4.7Meg resistors in series with the bias output, but maybe this is not sufficient. Later in the thread Birgir talked about putting his own biasing board. Did somebody ever trace the schematics for the WEE? Have there been variations during production? Has anybody written up the procedure to make them safe? I'm a speaker guy with a budget, and not a heavy heaphone user, and a KGSS or whatever is out of the question for now. The WEE seemed an excellent choice for me, since I own two high quality speaker amps, and an SRM-323 (mine's a 323II FWIW) won't drive my Birgir-modified Sigmas properly. I hit on the Sigmas five years ago after I Googled "headphones for people who don't like headphones" and really that's what they are and I love them. I haven't opened the WEE yet but it's disconnected now...1 point

When in Rome, you have that Roman nonsense. When in the South, you have fried chicken. And sausage/cheese/pickles And some tamales (the leftovers, at least) Did I mention chicken? Oh, yeah, and we had a side of chicken. One must have fries... and chicken. Notice the bread at the bottom of all the chicken? If you're wondering if it tastes like chicken, it does. (It also soaks up all the grease, and as I was discussing with someone when I had this place at a catered event, pulling the soaked toast out afterwards and making chicken-soaked croutons sounds amazing.) Zoe as the protector of the sides And the gratuitous parting shot. Not pictured: a slacker Had a blast. I, too, am sad we didn't get a pic of Dan, especially after he left at 5am today to meet us, but his memory shall keep him going til the next time. I also think this is the furthest out I've had a dinner planned in years. **BRENT**1 point

Yea. Someone who takes profit of the idea. I myself propose to make them for anybody who don't want to to do it themselves. http://superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/superdupont-resonator-summary-and-interest-check.1558/ Last words for me about this mod. I don't want people think I'm here to promote my business.1 point
