I have a spare cable for the Omega 2, which had broken close to an end to the phone, and I would like to make an extension cable with it. I also have a spare Pro bias female connector, which I had taken out of my SRM-727A when adding a normal bias out on it. I was wondering, how difficult would it be to use such connector on the spare cable, to make the extension cable I need? Should I use any particular care (with solder, for example) on it? Will it supposedly sound as good as the Stax 'official' one? Thank you!

Hey Purk, I have read a few reports at the other site (the huge thread). Too many posts to find them back, anyway, just to give you an indication, I was reading posts from Magick Man, and some other users were replying in the same pages as him. He made me intrigued in them, because on top of having several great headphones, the insight he had already given to me (I was asking him about the 4070 with GES, as well as ESP950 and Grado HP2) was very good. Antonio, since I'd like to see what you are seeing (maybe I should start comparing more impuse response and square wave graphs), what are you deducing from them? Thanks. On a 'funny' note, this headphone has a similar response to what the Westone 3 looked, a few years ago, soon after it had come out and when the first Japanese graphs were coming out. This seems to be a bit better in the midrange though!

Antonio, in my opinion the graph isn't bad at all. There is a bit too much midbass, but otherwise the midrange to treble balance seems about right, in my opinion. I have read somewhere that they can be obtained for as low as 1400$, which is still very expensive, but they could well deserve it (especially considering prices of high end orthos, dynamics and stats lately).

Thank you!!!

I have found a few websites which have em available which I am going to send you by pm. Cheers

I want to eat it!

Hello Vitor! Welcome here

Hey Birgir, have you already modded the 727? I am waiting for impressions

Happy Birthday!!!

Wow, nice little amp: perhaps the upgrade to the SRM252? Or just the same, just "rebranded"?

Hmm, as I said, bright was a wrong term. Don't you find it a bit bass light? Maybe it depends on my own earphones, while with bassier ones the bass would just sound more "delicate".

Happy Birthday!

Hahaha! That's what I had thought back then.

When I had the CD3000, my iAudio 7 substantially lessened its highs, but that was an amplification mismatch thing.

I think I have used the wrong word: it's more of "anemic", or thin. The bass is lacking so much that everything else is more prominent, impressing the listener more, giving a sense of overall "brightness", although not meaning that it's really more sibilant than other players.

As to the Clip+, I have been listening to sister's Clip and wasn't impressed by its sq: it just seems bright and bass light. All the raving on headfi seems out of place. I also haven't liked the user interface, plus battery life is embarassingly short. But yes, it's very cheap and also tiny.

Happy Birthday!

Glad I have helped clearing up your thoughts.

Cables work well as "equalizers" with the Omega 2. Unfortunately, the soundstage will still be smallish. The instrument positioning is super fast and precise, but the HD800 I have heard, for example, manage to sound both focused and big.

Absolutely smart, and correct too. I also wanted to play my part, because he seemed a bit undecisive.

Dreamwhisper, I want to make something clear. If you are going to buy my headphone because it costs 300€ less than going rate, looking forward to fix it and have a perfectly working Omega 2, just buy one from someone you trust who can sell it for 1500$ or that ballpark. If you want to buy this Omega 2, you must accept that it might or might not be fixable. If I had the certainity that it was, I'd do it myself and then sell it for a lot more. I don't want to seem rude but just to be clear. You are on the top of the queue, but I am not sure if you are convinced yet. If you aren't sure, there already are other people who have accepted this fact.

I am not sure. There are screws, if I remember correctly, but I don't feel comfortable in doing something like that.

Nope, still fully sealed, no damage to the covers.

It won't damage the driver. The piece of dust could actually burn away, from what I have been told by a repairer.
