So this is the guy that was being discussed over on the other forum about buying and selling a lot of stuff. I have bought a lot of Stax stuff myself over the last couple of months and will end up selling some of it since I am learning that I like the Stax sound a lot. The early stuff will go. I am not a collector. I have sold my SRM-1 AMP already. I am thinking of selling my SRD-7 Pro/Icon as well in preparation for a 717 or KGSS.

I already have an email into him for more detail and pictures. Seems like anyone would post pictures to me. thanks for the responses.

He said that is his asking price. What would be a reasonable offer?

Has anyone an ideal as to when this unit will come out and an estimate for it's price? Thanks

What is a reasonable price for a used KGSS?

Thanks for the experiences...

Has anyone heard or experience reliability issues with any of these amps. I saw a reference on StereoWOW about the 717 having issues. StereoWOW

What if the fifth has always been on earth?

Not as many as they do now, of course.

They need to charge 2495$ per unit so that it could be called a high end DAC.

I guess I am a dock as well then...

I think the wood work makes a statement and a nice one...Go for it. You may have a new headphone that you can sell for a premium. The next, do I dare I say it, "ALO?"

I like it...

No Omega here yet... but.....the time is coming when I will not be able to say that.

I just got a pair of Stax SR-001 Mk2s and these again are not disappointing me. Maybe I am a Stax guy after everything is said and done. Time to sell off some more equipment that is none Stax...

And I never thought I would have one and now I have two Stax headphones and one Adapter and one amp. And now these have me thinking heavy about a Omega SR-001 Mk2.

How many watts do you think the SRM-007tII Vacuum Tube Driver will put out? I only draws 55w from the wall. At Class A eff. it really would not be much over 5 watts I would think? Which would suggest that it's current capacity is not that much either. Please enlighten me if this is not the case. Thanks

We are getting a lot of help in this passion aren't we. When do you think you will be committed; I mean committing?

I am joining the club before the end of June. This is almost for sure.

From deepak's thread where he is using his SRD-7 Pro he does note the rolled off highs. It is possible if this is really up there above 14 kHz that I would not notice it. Thanks Tachikoma for the update on my question.

Thanks for this explanation, I may have some understanding now. Time to go get SPICE and play a little. What does everyone think of this? http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1217214455 If I got this I would have to save up for the SR-007 instead.

Showing my ignorance again doing what I do by asking questions. I thought the lower impedance headphones had a higher current requirement. I see that the SR-007 Mk2 has an impedance in the 170k-ohm range while the Lambda series is more in the 130-140k-ohm range making the Lambda series having a lower impedance. This suggests to me the SR-007 needs more voltage swing compared with the Lambda series as opposed to current. It is possible the design of the SR-007 Mk2 simply requires more power overall than the Lambda series.

The Icon uses the same type of design internally as other Nuforce amps. I do know that. I plugged one of my dynamic cans into the headphone out and the Icon sounded very good with it.

I am a bit dense with it comes to learning my lessons so don't hold you breath.

I am thinking I can live with a dark sound for a few months till I get in a position for a better Stax amp and I can be on the lookout for a used one. I have really enjoyed my Stax Gamma Pro out of my SRM-1 Mk2 Pro. All these model numbers get confusing to me so I may right something not right. I also have used my SRD-7 Pro with the Berning micro-ZOTL with the Gamma Pro. This really sound nice. I am now trying to find some Muller banana couplings to connect my SRD-7 Pro banana plugs to my Nuforce Icon speaker out wires that are banana plugs. I think Drew will get my business yet again.
