What are you reading now?
Marquis de Sade - Tanrıya Karşı Söylev (I dont know book's original name or in English, Maybe "Speech Against God"), Collection of his notes. It's the only book which does not include eroticism I guess.

Hifiman Shangri-La, new Electrostatic
Buying All other KG Amplifiers and not giving any of them to my friends, and buying this... I'm so confused... People went nuts, I'm most certainly sure, it's not about sound, it's about false prestige... First HEV 1, Then MSB, Then this... I've never listened any of them but i'm pretty sure its not about how they sound. BTW, Granite chasis doesnt cost as much as Sennheiser charges. Btw if its as heavy as it looks, shipping will be an issue... But for those who buy that, shipping won't be an issue... And is its socket 5 pin pro?

The Headcase Stax thread
I'm going a bit off topic but, Guys have you ever seen this? A diamond from King Sound: https://www.moon-audio.com/king-sound-m-03-electrostatic-portable-headphone-amplifier.html Rudi from head-fi posted a photo of it with sr-009. I laughed hard when i saw the photo... Is it tragic or funny, or both?

Albert Camus - The Rebel, by day Proudhon - The Philosophy of Poverty and Marx - The Poverty of Philosophy, by night The Philosophy of Poverty is especially good for exploring different ideologies by their ideologists, cuz Proudhon mentions their names and quotations a lot. Also while Marx tries to be more systematic, he fails alot, imho. Proudhon proves that he is trully an idealist. And Proudhon's ideas are more useful for today's world. Especially for countries like Turkey.

Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon
"Cavalli Liquid Carbon…well what can I say about this amp. It was bought to simply test out this “wonder amp” and well it didn’t disappoint. Typical Cavalli so their claims about the design are full of lies and the performance is pretty sucktacular. Way too warm and mushy to be considered anything but low end stuff. What this is, is an opamp phase splitter running into a quad of single ended amps with quite possibly the worst power supply I’ve ever tested. There are so many things wrong with this that I didn’t know where to start fixing so I just said “fuck it” and screwed it together again. I did add some feet to it so maybe an upgrade in some way? I’m just going to sell this thing so I can buy some more over-hyped garbage to take apart. It comes with the original box and I believe it has lifetime warranty from Cavalli which people will need if they plug in more than one headphone at the same time. Price: 400$ plus shipping" I love your sales policy @spritzer It made my day.

I've heard some people can make custom tips for them. If you like them that much, you can try to get custom tips.

They look interesting and they are cheap, do anyone know any technical info about them?

The Headcase Stax thread
Thanks Sir. I'm only reading now, cuz as my title says I'm a newbie. I read first 30 page so far. Anyway i have a question, most probably asked before but here i go: Does using 100V Stax amps with stepdown transformers (I live in Turkey, so we use 220V) (churi ones or any other good one) degrade sound quality?

The Headcase Stax thread
Hey guys, I'm Özgür from Turkey. It's my first post, i read the rules but still I hope i'm not doing anything wrong. Because as i understand you all (nearly) have diy experiences and have really good g(ears). Anyway, recently i was thinking bout buying an end game Stats amplifier, but i lost all of my savings cuz of some stupid job. Then i went to small upgrades for my SR-207 and SRM-252s. I made a friend make a 12v 2A linear power supply for my SR-252s and bought a pair of EP-507 for SR-207. They became like different system now. I think they amuse me for a while. I'm learning from this community. Thank you all.

Shure KSE1500 – Electrostatic Earphone
Are sigma's driver not even angled, like lambdas? Interesting... Well my point is, as you understand, Shure did something very different about positioning drivers into closure.

Shure KSE1500 – Electrostatic Earphone
The thing that makes me angry is that attitude, n3rdling. Its what big companies have been doing for ages... Trying to patent things unclear (well not unclear to be honest but they wanna get advantage). They also did new things, I admit that. I have no idea how complex the things they did but, driver is not facing, but have like 180 degree angle, bore and the acustic way toward bore is angled weirdly, the enclosure is kinda like balanced armature. Also anyone dig into the word "electret" what used to describe something about that iem? I really wanna know if my theory is correct.

Shure KSE1500 – Electrostatic Earphone
I really hate hype people... I defend my ideas on turkish forum but, dunno if it makes sense. What i really don't understand is, shure did very innovative, untried things with that headphone, but still they wanna get credit for old "electrostatic transducer technology" as if they invented it. But guys still, i'm very curious about it's sound signature. Especially after seeing that unconventional transducer placing. As i know, even in baby Staxes, transducer faces directly to ear, am I right?

Shure KSE1500 – Electrostatic Earphone
Thanks Sherwood, you're so kind. Here is the original post with patent filling link. Also i wonder, did they really say that they've worked on cables for 3 years? What difference did they make? I really wonder.

Shure KSE1500 – Electrostatic Earphone
Guys I'm newbie, and it's my first message on this forum, i heard the news from Turkish forum, watched Jude's video and Jude's attitude already irritated me. But now i checked on patent, and it's really ridiculous, their claims are like they invented the electrostatic system. Also i catch the word "electret" and i guess they put electret plates behind standart electrostatic stators. i dont know about the gap between stators and diaphragm, but i guess thats why bias is really lower than baby stax. Can any pro check the patent, if not already did? It is fun to read as well.
