I for one never use flux and I've never seen the need to do so.

I did something truly nuts tonight, listened to the BHSE at max volume (from a 2V source) just to see what would happen. What I listened to was the beginning drum solo of Megadeth - Trust with the SR-007 Mk1. It was more then enough to make the Omegas start to vibrate but both headphones and amp held up perfectly. Now we are pretty far away from the imminent destruction territory for the Pro bias sets here (+/-600V rails would land us there) but still this was very loud indeed.

Holy hell, where did they dig out a LNS part...

Ahhh but they aren't traditional products. It's all been stolen from Germany...

Falls right in with our other Nordic foodstuffs, all of them are horrid.

IS that the stuff they had at FFF?

It has been asked before so read the damn thread...

A fully refurbed SRM-1 Mk2 is a solid budget unit but there is a way to go.

Nahh, he wasn't even a member. Simply owning Stax gear isn't enough any more to be one...

Have a great day Santa.

How much power the O2's need isn't really that straight forward. More power is always better but they also seem to "like" certain amplifier traits more then others which is why the small SS amps work better then the Stax tube amps even though the latter has more power. The later BH has one 10M90 per tube instead of the six 2SA1968's.

I'd say this could have been a source issue since the KGSS is a lot more powerful than any ES-1/2 ever built. That damn 100+V offset just kills the amp...

They might appear dark off some crappy amp or in comparison with the excessively forward HE-5 but it isn't true.

Also explains why I have no trouble understanding it.

It's not fragile at all and you can cover the pins with heatshrink so if the joint would break the two parts won't seperate.

Is it an ortho? It's all down to how the traces are lined up so a Yamaha is an ortho but I'm pretty sure the Fostex units aren't.

Stax SRM-T2, the diy version and because it runs hot as hell.

Should I send some Red Vodka? Have a great day Jim!!

The LCD-2 thread was a nice place for a while last week when chief dumbass wasn't hanging around. He really takes the art of being a fucktard to a new level...

Sure it can, just use some output transformers.

I finally plugged in the SR-007 and man those new Mullard's are just awful. Not only are they noisy as hell (snap, crackle and pop when I turn off the amp and sing when I turn it on) but I first thought the amp was broken, it was that bad. Swap in some XF2's and this is more like it...

I've never had any noise issues with either the Alpha's or the TKD's, either the 2500 or 601 series.

I'll get on it right away. I should have some gold paint somewhere...

I have plenty of the Alpha pots so feel free to PM me . Same goes for anybody looking for a good 4-gang pot.

That's up next for me as well.
