Thanks Jim - as a 'member of the pack' in the JD Stax world (for now at least), I appreciate your publishing the article.
I'm currently using an STM-T1W to drive a pair of ESP-950 headphones as my 'stat option, and while not perfect, with a bit of EQ here and there I'm enjoying the results. Enough so that I'll likely upgrade later, but still learning & experimenting, not ready to buy a new amp just now, so your article was/is welcome info. It's probably time to replace the caps in my T1 anyway, so if I'm going to do that, it seems like I might as well do this at the same time.
Just to check, do you know whether there were/are gen 1 and gen 2 versions of the SRM-T1W also? Or since the W came later (as I understand), are they based on the gen 2 design? If there are different versions for the W, any tips on how to differentiate?
Lastly, can anyone suggest the best places(s) to post and/or search for reliable & reasonable modders/folks who do good work on 'stat amps and would use good quality parts? (Sorry if this is a noob/FAQ question, I'd welcome pointers).
