The Headcase Stax thread
I don’t think any patents will hold it meaning in China at all. There are counterfeit brands (similar quality or cheap and ripoff quality) both. There are economy police forces that would go inspect and seize these counterfeit goods if your business is being sued for inspection. However, most of the time, these guys are bribed away and turning their eyes. The big guys in government will not care enough. Unless it is something that could stir a huge conflict against other countries such as military technologies and so on....I think even war planes and some are simply copy cat from the super power countries. Here in the US, we are very strict and regulated on these issues, but many other countries beside China, they do appreciate (counterfeit goods) and will pay for it at cheaper price. However, there are some of these funky business as of late, had been infecting Amazon by a lot. Soon, Amazon will face a challenge. A Smartphone company XiaoMi is basically a copy cat of Apple IPhone, the founder is billionaire and the company is healthy+strong over there. Then we have Huawaii which does similar things but on a much lesser scale and can export into the US...etc...etc..you get the idea. Taobao and Aliexpress is basically a copycat of Amazon but based off of counterfeit goods to the rest of the world and Chinese labor forces. Jack Ma is also made into a billionaire by...”copy cat”....there is no boundaries. Just visit China and stroll around their markets, you will see huge differences in materials goods, patented and copy rights stuff, which hold no meaning over there. one of the latest example of counterfeit goods is those Hollywood big hit movies. They got released 1 week in China before the US. Because in the past, the lesson learned is that the Americans rather enjoy new movies in theater, and they respect copy rights, together with punishments if infringement happened. However, when shown in the US first, the Chinese somehow grab the copy as soon as possible, and Official (or so they branded it) DVD/Blu-ray will be filling the street in China before the movies even hit theaters, which results in a huge losses.

If I remember correctly, you directed IFi, and the Ifi ESL Pro also doesn’t have it ? Then I am glad I went with KG and found the correct journey to venture down. Many thanks to @purk, and the cooks here Thanks @spritzerfor the confirmation about the voltage and the potentials. I learn more things everyday

HiFiMAN Shangri-la Jr. Electrostatic Headphones
How come we are talking about The Senior now ? The PCB picture is from the big brother. I don’t think there are any information on the Jr.
-
HiFiMAN Shangri-la Jr. Electrostatic Headphones
Why KgSS on taobao ? Jr has an dedicated amp by HFM itself. The JR use bias Pro, so anything with that, reliability issues aside
-
HiFiMAN Shangri-la Jr. Electrostatic Headphones
Uh huh, using that anology, reliability immediately comes to mind

HiFiMAN Shangri-la Jr. Electrostatic Headphones

-
HiFiMAN Shangri-la Jr. Electrostatic Headphones

Massdrop Cavalli Tube Hybrid
Wow, taobao is a dangerous place if they use other builder pictures for advertisement on building KG T2. Who knows what they build it out to be....I hope it won’t bring KG T2 any negatives, or somebody need to pull some strings

SRL300 Limited
Ok, so portable for Stax. Isn’t reliability of the headphones a thing to consider ? the vulnerability to: Elements, humidity, dusts....etc...? It is good for those ears buds

Sennheiser HE-1
They did say in general that New high polymer ultra-thin film material called the super engineering plastics

Sennheiser HE-1
I have been into Stax for about a year or so, and I already feel that Stax is ahead of it time. I am thinking that even Sennheiser is behind, but Sennheiser is in a much better shape to keep pulling onto their ultra-flagship lines to release Orpheus He-1. Unlike Stax, after reading much into it history, and legendary T2+Omega, I feel so sad, and not sure if Stax will continue on being the same ? I know the latest T8000 was just “cold” *found more info on the 009*. It is awesome

Chord Dave Any Good?
So, what is the deal with Chord ? How come the Dave cost so much ? Then there are even claims This is purely because we have nothing to measure it against as the new design has no piers or competitor Very solid claim, but still using the switching power supply ? And googled pics
