Mmmmm XA200.5's..... Did any of you catch the XA30.5 review in the latest Stereophile? The written review was crap as was to be expected but the measurements were tasty. Does anybody remeber what amps were/are used to drive the wall of 'stats at SME? It's probably in the Quad book but it's been a long day...

I have some 8 sets left so just drop me a line when you need them. All funds will go towards me buying and ripping apart a SR-007Mk2...

You'll love them moar with the Pro drivers. Btw. If you need new earpads then drop me a PM. I have way too many of them and am cheaper then AC...

Those are Sound-Lab U-1's and UB-1's in the center. UB-1's are dedicated bass panels which reach down to 20Hz at full or nearly full output. You can always place ESL's side by side as the radiation pattern is a figure 8 with no output to the sides.

There are supposedly some other tips that fit the SR-001/003 but I've never tried them and no, there isn't an extension cable for the SR-001.

Stop reading my mind!!!!! Now if there were a limited edition Stax headphone...

Want... badly. This could also work though

The SR-Lambda is the normal bias original model. I would recommended something vintage, made when overkill was the name of the game with quality connectors, over sized transformers and not every penny pinched. If that isn't an option then a 400w unit would work just fine. There is also the option to just change the voltage on the 007tA. It might require some soldering and perhaps adding a wire or two to the primary of the transformer but it's easy enough to do.

I tried every type of ribbon cable I could get my hands on but most were crap and the liver litz was good but unwieldy. It's just so much easier to cut up a Wide PC-OCC extension cable...

Two Pro jacks FTW!!! As for the TakeT, just use one of those handy adapter cables or rewire the headphones with some Wide PC-OCC.

Adding a normal bias socket is simply a matter of changing the voltage divider so that's surely an option. There are also a few BHSE's that don't have a He90 jack such as mine. Better yet, get something that doesn't suck...

This is the standard one socket, two plugs affair. It simply separates the bias and drive voltages so that you can use any amp to drive any headphone given that you have some way to access the original bias supply. Let's say you want to drive a normal bias Sigma from a 717 and have a SRD-6 handy or that you want to use the ESP950 off a Stax amp, yet use the Koss bias supply. The one for CanJam is so that the owner of a normal bias Sigma can experience it off the BHSE.

How about a gain switch for normal gain and then a gain of 1000 for those that want to use the SR-001?

I just finished these, a couple of Stax bias leach cables. I'm fairly confident that one of them will be at CJ...

Perhaps the A-10 should rather be compared against the A11... ...that's the name of the mini ES-1....

...now we just need an electrostatic version.

You know I likes my HF on the soft side (SR-007 Mk1 ) but the distance from the drivers could be an issue. The felt on the back of the drivers is needed though to even out the sound so that could be a factor as well.

Happy birthday Justin.

I bought some resistors for the mini ES-1 project. Naturally there are no 5k trimpots to be found anywhere so I have to order them in...

That can be arranged.

The only problem I have with that description is that the SR-007A has its own midrange etch. \ I should get my 404LE soon so we'll see.

Hmmm voltage doubler, are you slumming a bit? Two serial connected PSU's sounds more like it...

What are you going to use the 300VAC for? It needs moar voltage...

Happy birthday!

Given how vastly inflated the Apache and B52 sales figures are I just assumed this was the usual BS that Ray spews.
