about 843,000 USD. Honestly, I'm not too happy with Edifier's speaker qualities. It's not very solid. I can only hope that they improve their production quality when they start manufacturing electostatic headphones.

This is what Edifier plan on doing with stax. 本次投资是公司发展主营业务，尤其是耳机业务的关键性投资。通过收购目黑阳造先生所持有的STAX的100％股权，公司立即拥有了全球著名的静电耳机及其功放的所有设计、制造技术和相应市场，公司得以迅速占领高端耳机的制高点，使公司能够向耳机行业的高端品牌发起挑战。 公司还将利用自身现有的制造能力，大力降低静电耳机的制造成本，同时利用自身渠道大力推进相关产品的销售，使得所有消费者都有机会感受到这种高性能产品，努力使得产品售价为更多的消费者所接受。 公司还计划推出基于静电技术的新品牌，以便携式的静电耳机产品为主打，进一步拉低售价门槛，起到承上启下的重要作用。 因此，本次收购不仅可以获得财务收益，更使得公司拥有了耳机行业内的高端技术，结合公司自身现有的优势，不但可以使STAX品牌长足发展，更使公司得相关业务得到一个关键立足点，为未来的大幅发展奠定了坚实的基础。 They wanted Stax's electrostatic headphones technology to go into high end headphones production. They also wanted to use their current production capabilities to reduce production cost, meaning that the production will likely move to China in the future. They also plan on increase marketing electrostatic headphones to the public. It also looks like they want to produce portable electrostatic headpones....

Wait, Edifier? I had their speaker set. They sound like shit.

Very nice! Congrats!

Oh god. Why did I not buy my stuff earlier...

ooh, that's a fun game. Add to Cart.

Dude, that's massive. Are you going to anodize them black or keep them silver? also, that was a massive GB, I'd say you did very well.

Like a solar array!

I have never done work using modushop before, but given that they are closer to you, I think they would be a better choice than FPE. FPE does have a german counterpart I believe, their name evades me though...

Also, good time to send in FPE orders. 20% off with coupon code 25K0NER0. http://www.facebook.com/frontpanelexpress

ugh. Okay, got it. I'll get one or two to try out, but I'll also get bulgin ones as backup.

Happiest Birthday to you good sir.

Done and Done! Looks fun, with a bit of soldat or liero element in it.

Just wanted to let everyone know, 4171G ceramic pads is backordered till jan 10th. 2012 at futureelectronics.

yeah... but It's interesting that they now call themselves stax usa. Here's hoping for a little corporate restructuring.

Happy Birthday

Hope you have a good one!

Anybody noticed this? http://staxusa.com/

Damn. you're talking about the momentary kind, right? Do they breakdown spectacularly?

what kind of exorbitant prices are they charging for them?

Yeah, it'll be about the same, so no worries. Thanks for the offer though. Edit: About Amazon.com, while they carry a lot of goodies, a lot of the time they don't ship out of the US, so that's one less option for those of us in Canada. Looks like NCIX carries some lamptron products here though, but I think they only sell their fan controllers. These switches are used by a small niche of computer modders, so no wonder it's hard to find them here.

Thanks for that. I do know performance-pc sells them, but I was hoping for a closer alternative or something similar mouser to save on shipping.
