From a government perspective, why not?

The millennials/zoomers are now in a position where a college degree is more like a high school degree was
40 years ago. Employers want a degree for even entry level stuff that is brain dead work. And they pay
crap. If you don't get specialized, good luck. And with Asian and India degree mills working overtime,
guys with master's degrees show up at job interviews all the time. About 10 minutes into the interview you
wonder how the guy tied his own shoes.Yes, I'm in my 60's. Thank god my kids have it together.

light bulbs with firmware?????????
I get enough of that crap at work. I want my lights to just light up.
And I don't need to chat with my fridge either.
But I do hear that pineapple juice pop calling out "eat me"

Long way of saying"we'll deliver it when we're good and ready".
It still can't be as useless as USPS tracking.

Not a lot of fans here at all.
Other than the for sale stuff, I don't read much over there.

Hi, I am new here, live in Australia, past owner of Audeze Lcd2.2 and am now going electrostatic having always wanted to.
After enquiring with my friendly supply outlet about Stax SR-L700,s and SRM006ts was informed that a much better idea that would convince me to go HIFIMAN Jade 2 and amp as it was in all ways superior sound, upon reading your review I responded to my ever friendly supplier that your article pointed out serious issues with build quality.
His answer was interesting , he said that the build quality was simplistic but was not relevant to its astounding performance.
This coming from a well respected audio supplier specialising in head gear
This coming from a well respected audio supplier trying to sell me something.
More likely this.

I'm looking forward to reviews.
Looks like you have approached this with a great deal of thought.
I used to work in industrial support for lens and camera production.
So manufacturing process details are of interest.
I might have to start saving up my $$$.

I'm ready for an honest test and complete disassembling of them.
Some small part of me hopes that a new headphone that doesn't cost $2000
can sound decent. But, reality is a bitch.

Outstanding!

I see these over in the other place. $500 Stat, based on pro bias.
New offering from India. It said in the thread Spritzer will be getting a set.
True, lies, or Trumpism?

I'm afraid the heat increase on each slap would dissipate before the next slap comes in, even using both hands and a dick or a pair of tits.
Any bets on how long it takes for that video to show up in the internet?

I assume you've received this and have had a chance to listen?

How's your soldering skills?
You might want to grab some junk circuit board to practice on.
Other than that, the recap job is pretty simple.

Drop $1200 and you can have an official stax mafia product!

$400-500 US is pretty typical of late for a SRM1 MKII.
Getting back to the hum issue, have you tried borrowing a different source?
Those old multidisc cd players are getting up there in age.

The network of stax dealers in the U.S. collapsed.
The distributor (Yama's) was always a PITA.
There's a couple of online dealer's, but most of the brick and
mortar dealers bailed. They really need to make an effort to
get this going again. The Dallas dealer always was well stocked and had
demo headphones out all the time. They currently have one of the best
headphone demo areas I've seen in the US. They have Senns, Grados,
PSBs, and others out with a decent amp and source. It sold quite a few Stax systems
there and I'm sure they could again .You'd think the new management would be all about
making this happen.

I think a mental health check is in order. Licking the doorbell is a bit over the top
by anyone's standards. Next up, fondling garbage?

The guy looks like he's about to knock-off a liquor store.

If you can find a millett minimax for sale, that would be a good bang for the buck.
-
Am I to assume that Yama's is out of the Stax business?
Not that they did much when they were.

The source seems to be in Japan, so there's some mom and pop
corner retailer that had them sitting on the shelf.
Modern distribution is not the norm in Japan.
They seem to be stuck in the 1950's.

The reality is more and more cities are going this way.
Nobody really watches the screens. They're just background noise until something happens.
Then they playback to find the perp and post the picture with a reward.
Most of the city crime gets solved by hot anonymous tips that pay money.
the caller gets a claim number and if it leads to an arrest, they can get paid.
901-528-CASH.
The bulk of the people in the rows by the big screens are there to monitor calls coming in,
not watch the screens.
