Ok, these a silly sensitive. The specs say they are only 1dB over the SR-404 but the combination of a slightly forward nature makes it more pronounced.

Ok, SR-507's sitting on my head. First impressions are a lovely smell of leather, the new arc assembly is very substantial but it isn't very comfy for my gigantic head and it makes the headphones rather heavy. As for the sound, I'm on my second song so nothing solid yet but no real issues either.

Ok, now I'm off to sharpen the axe...

I guess that would be the final push I need to turn off PM's over there. I swear if I get one more PM asking me about the price of some random Stax item...

That is pretty cool.

There will be a BOM but I for one will probably never follow it. It's just not what I do...

For you Marc, I'll send you a special modded version. I may look like a SR-507 which I'm asking 4K$ for but I assure you it is not...

There will be no toroid group buy and any form of kits done by me aren't likely to happen.

Happy Birthday!!!

WTF indeed. I just love stuff like this, no idea how bloody well designed the original was but this guy could clearly do better....

I'd have to see the SR-003 up close but the plug works well so I don't see any need to change it. There are also not that many options in such a tiny system...

My condolences Shelly. It always sucks to loose a pet...

This is indeed a new, more expensive Omega. It's not a replacement for the SR-007.

Happy Birthday gents!!!

It's the same design as this one. Far cry from the BH/T2's of this world...

Yet another crappy day at work but at least the phone and internet works now so that's something. To make up for the crappy week I paid a visit to Stuart at his photo lab for a great discussion about pretty much everything.

Vintage Lambdas FTMFW!!!

Aside from the large number of small caps (49 I think) it is pretty easy to swap them out. There are also only two values used in the DAC, large 2200uf caps in the PSU and small (10uf?) elsewhere.

You know Mike, the clarinet guy...

You could try the bitumen shingles since all you are doing is adding mass.

It gets even better once you replace those tired old electrolytics...

Happy Birthday both of you!!!

SRM-300 Stax amp. Way too light to do any real damage...

The Stax Sigma's are in some ways similar but yeah, the K1k is pretty unique.

Just in time for the new flagship...
