Going to have to start looking for a pair of Sigma's to upgrade. They certainly look interesting. Just ordered Omega SR-007's from Elusive Disc today so it'll be a while before I have the extra cash.

Both The Needle Doctor and Elusive Disc are offering 10% discounts for the Labor Day Holiday weekend, so I decided to pull the trigger and order a 4040II system (I already have 303's and an SRM-212 amp). First, I called the Needle Doctor and they told me that they order them when they receive an order and it can take from a couple of weeks to a couple of months because the distributor is not very responsive. I then called Elusive Disc because it showed that they had them in stock, unfortunately they did not, same song, they can order them but didn't know how long. I really would prefer a USA modeel to eliminate the need for a transformer. I went ahead and ordered them but what gives with the Stax distributer? Why potentially several months? Back in the late eighties, most high end stores carried Stax and many had them in stock, when I bought my first system back then they were close in price to what they are now, so that make them a bargin, couple that to the mainstream interest in'phones and you would think that if people could actually demo them in a store Stax could sell a boatload.

Apparently the 507 list price will be $1099 in the USA, Elusive Disc now has them on their web site. Who is a dependable company to order from in Japan? Thanks.

What is an SLA battery? Thanks

Is there a way to battery power a SR-212 amp? This looks like it should work but I don't know enough about electric. Can anyone help. Thanks #K410F-30
