More power means the amp is less of a factor in the over all sound. That's the whole point of designing better amps IMO. Feed the transducer properly and you'll get the most from it. I'm also talking about the older versions of these amps, nobody knows what the S thing stands for or even if there are any real changes.

Happy Birthday Nate!!!

It is simply a far more advanced design and not held back by a less than ideal tube choice.

This is the (un)official Stax forum so feel free to share.

The best amp Stax currently sells is the 323 so I'd go for that one.

Same thing here, plenty of old threads popping up and many new ones are completely overlooked.

Just like Kevin said, these are just normal green boards. These are from Headamp so no pics of the underside. As for the Gerber's... yeah good luck with that...

Here are the pictures

The known issue with the original T2 was indeed the transformers and they run very, very hot. Kevin did look into that but I'm way too tired to remember what his findings were...

Happy Birthday Craig!!

Internet porn and booze, what else is there to live for? The real reason is that we are tech mad to a fault. The town I live in even footed the bill to connect every home with fiber, slicing open every street in town.

The easy version of the T2 is the Blue Hawaii. They are pretty similar over all and the sound is certainly close enough. As for the 507, I never got over how bright they are but I do think they complement the SR-007Mk1 well, that's certainly how Stuart feels (who now owns my set).

Justin. Btw. Your pot shipped out today...

This is at home, fiber for the fucking win!!

Yup, the pics were in my members gallery.

First I'm going to check to see if the PSU works at all and if the heat is an issue for me. Being in Iceland does have its good points from time to time, most notably cheap AC...

A quad deck RK50 for the T2DIY. Every system needs at least a couple of RK50's.... right?

It will be necessary, count on that. Better yet, build a T2...

On the spec sheet you got from SumR it states the temp rise at full load. Mine are 37.5°C which makes them burning hot to say the least... I think it might be a good idea to swap these transformers out for a much higher rated unit.

What's with the forum software. This thread just now kicked into the "View New Content"... It looks like they are fakes but I've yet to have them tested. What happened? Looks like I'm in the same boat as my HV transformers weren't made correctly... Those could be genuine but the markings aren't something I've seen before. The packaging looks genuine though.

Happy Birthday!!!

The bass is indeed improved but mostly by being cleaner than the usual Lambda. The arc might be a factor and I didn't try one of the older models to check it out. Properly sealed baffle and a much better baffle design would be larger factors to me. Still my old set is in the area so I might have to try this soon... If you are going to buy a Lambda then you can't go wrong with the 507. I don't care for the fit but my noggin is a bit over sized....

My PSU is finally taking shape but I also bought some K216's from Dalbani and I suspect most of them are fakes: Sorry for the crappy picture. Most of them are like the ones on the left with only the 4 on the right looking authentic.

It's a very good Lambda but doesn't touch the Omegas.

Just accept it already, that's the only way to live with this curse...
