I remember seeing those Nak racks in the showroom while stationed in Okinowa.
IT cost about as much as a new Mustang.

This looks like another fine product of Ho Chi Minh City.
There certainly seems to be a lot of big caps. God knows the
creative ways they are trying to kill us with now.

Well then, best of luck.
Plainly you're going down this path one way or another.

I doubt anyone selling a stax amp is going to let you
Probe about with a meter in their showroom.
Not many private sellers either. I'm pretty sure you
can pull the d10 from the list. Not enough power.
The d50 and 353x are new enough I haven't heard them.
A used srm717 would drive about anything well.
And if you didn't like it, it would be easy to resell.
If you want it new,srm727.

The best way to answer that is with a picture
Jack the black cat takes a nap
please don't kill yourself trying to level match stax

Given that Stax came and went a couple of times before becoming a Chinese owned company,
this might turn out ok. Only time will tell. Hopefully it won't turn into Fiat owned Chrysler.

I think anyone who has been around audio for a while has owned a hd series headphone. 580,600,650, and 800
were all big milestones. We can hope they don't screw this up.
A look through the other site's for sale stuff is a massive cluster of WTF
headphone names nobody has ever heard of. I'm sure this hit their bottom line pretty hard.

So they focus on pro audio, and most likely roll all the liabilities into the consumer market side before the sale.
And the new outfit can't meet debt obligations and goes belly up. Seems to be a standard business trick
of the modern world.
That's what the fortune 500 company I used to work for did. Not a good sign for consumer products.

Sleep. Eat (only if it meets your standards). Sleep some more.
Someone rubs your happy places. Knock around a toy for show.

So far, so good. As expected, thinner profile means more bass, a bit less soundstage.
The material is more comfy than normal pads. I have them on a ps500.
Please note: the old set was shot, so a side by side isn't possible.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with the sound.The pads do
take a bit more work to push on. They do include a tool, which looks to
be completely useless. I haven't been able to do a long listen.
I hurt my foot, and the Mrs feels a need hang around close by and yell at me about it.

I just went a whole other direction. Geekria
They are still bowls, but very shallow bowls. And softer foam . For the price, if they don't last I
won't be too upset. -

For some reason, the text didn't save.The cat on the bed is Jack, the wild one.
He's seems comfortable enough to snooze with his feet in the air.
He's the top cat on the sofa, the other is Ebony, my 20 year old.
A long time ago she was just a sad sickly little kitten in the animal shelter.

I'm binge watching my way through the Mandalorian right now.
I'll just cancel my month to month in a couple of days.
Stuff like this is what tablets are made for. Screw Comcast.

I've got a black cat that came with the house. He came wandering up after we moved in.
It took months to transition him to the indoors. He was king of the backyard, doing battle with anything that moved.
He would kill it and drop it on the back patio. After three years, we don't let him out at all.
We do let him out in the screen porch. He likes lap sitting, but quite often extends his claws
when he's purring and getting a rub. so affectionate and blood letting go hand in hand around here.

That's a lot of money for a unit without much of a track record.
It's a reworked integrated tube amp.
until someone trustworthy checks them out, it's just another FOTM.
And yes, even stereophile is a bit suspect any more. What do they know about
headphones, and stax.

So, in the same way that a ferret will not go into another room to use a litter box, you won't use a headphone that may be more than 10' away? Granted, the ferret backing into a corner to poop is a bit messier, but it still seems a bit lazy.
Well, I guess it's a way to justify keeping all the gear owned. otherwise, sooner or later we'd
have to logically sell some of it. And we all know that's not going to happen....

SO ebay is completely off the rails on all things stax.
I see what looked to be a standard bias SRD-7 for $259. Seller claimed
it supported pro bias cans. I messaged him to see if it was modified.
Answer:no. So another BS claim by a seller. You can plug it in and use it,
but it certainly isn't pro bias. It will sit on the bay for the next month like
hundreds of other overpriced stax crap, most of it "untested".
No wonder multiple miracle stax energizers are popping up from
shady start up companies.

The whole shaving off the top of the main transformer scares me.
Insulation is there for a reason.
1st order of business, try NOT to kill the user.
