The Headcase Stax thread
My friend's L300 pads are melting. Will there be any negative consequences on the sound if he switches to L500 or L700 pads? Also holy crap the build on that X1 clone looks worse than some $20 headphone from the 1990s

Compact cassette is back!(?)
Man I like the idea of playing with tapes and as a kid I wanted a wm-d6 or tc-d5 - but they're expensive to buy and expensive to service and I got zero music on cassette I wanted a DAT walkman too, but those are apparently even worse for reliability?

The Headcase Stax thread
Which older lambdas are the good "classic" lambdas? Do I have to hunt down a sr202/207, normal bias, or pro? I have the L300 and they're a bit wonky/shouty with female vocals...

Dan Clark Corina electrostatic
Dan is not the president of the company? Or was there a "restructuring"? I remember seeing emails asking for investors for DCA

Stax SRM-700T and SRM-700S
So the srm500t (using 6cg7) has potential to supply more power than the twice the price srm700t?

[DIY Stax Tube Amp] Rolled the dice on an auction, what exactly did I just buy?
So the most "up to date" SRX+ would be that schematic above, with power supply?

Bottlehead electrostatic headphone amp
Twisted output is not good because of capacitance issues, or something else?

Nectar Sound DIY Electrostat Energizer
I guess this and the srx+ are the choice for simpler DIY builds? Now if I can only get some boards... The nectar was tempting because it's easy to obtain

Elekit TU-8600R 300B SET amp/headphone amp
I wonder if it's possible to jumper/bypass the resistors on the output - so you can use the headphone out direct from the transformers

Elekit TU-8600R 300B SET amp/headphone amp
What does the headphone out section add in the circuit?

The Headcase Stax thread
Huh, thats dirt under the 2sc3675s and not magic transistor dust? What would cause the diodes to blow to begin with.

The Headcase Stax thread
Why, though? I rather they improve the yokes

The Headcase Stax thread
I may have a dumb idea, I know everyone complains about the bass on the new stax that don't seal up fully - would silicone work?

Mr Speakers Aeon
New ether 2 is out - wonder how these will fare - it's getting decent reviews on both the other sites, so it may be doing something right

Massdrop Cavalli LCX
At least the schiit dacs are ok? Are audio gd's builds and designs really better at this price range? Cheap and "feature rich" sells, I guess. And damn, I've seen nicer xlrs on counterfeit shures

Techni-tool was a great place to get test equipment and tools from Desktop cnc machines are a bit finnicky, my dad probably should have stuck with his old sherline vs this maxnc contraption he has no idea how to use

Crack;Bottlehead OTL
Not trolling at all. Considering they're all 12au7/6dj8/6sn7 driving a 6080 in otl, I thought they were a bit related, electrically, and was curious what the differences were. I joined here hoping to pick up some diy amp building knowledge that isn't around anywhere else, and I didn't know where to start...

Crack;Bottlehead OTL
How similar is the circuit to the woo, the darkvoice, and the Millet?
