  4. The Headcase Stax thread

    in Headphones

    I can't be sure what's going on there. Certainly could be the amp but first job for any SR-Omega owner is to buy some allen (hex) metric keys so that you can make sure the housing is firmly fixed together.

    Thanks I will check that out. That sounds like a plausible cause for the sound. The HE90 does not make the sound so it is probably the SR-Omega themselves.

    My SR-Omega seems to have developed a very soft clicking noise in the right driver which comes and goes. Can be heard in soft passages. I do not hear it in the HE90 so far, so not the amp or tubes I guess? Please tell me this is not the driver failing. Maybe dust?

  9. HD800? Another rumor?

    I'll get to hear them at the next bay area meet in a couple of weeks. Headfi will not allow a negative comment without torches and pitchforks on these headphones, so it's best you keep negative impressions away from there.

    Haven't you been spewing negativity about them for months now or hopping on the negative bandwagon whenever it drives by? And you haven't even heard them :rolleyes:. STFU until you do. Then please feel free to say all the negative you want. Nobody gives a huge shit really, we all have different ears.

    Thanks Kevin. I would also like to offer up my amp as a working one so that measurements could be taken, etc. If this would help nail down the design I am willing. We just need to find someone local with the skills as I am probably not the one. However, if it is not that difficult maybe I could learn. I think I have the measuring devices here.

    Andy- what about Blackie Pagano?

    Blackie was a nice guy and he fixed my amp but it was not painless. He took awhile until I paid his rush fee and then he returned it with the volume knobs all out of whack and a replacement bias knob which looks ridiculous. I did not ask him to change the knob, just tighten the one that was there.

    It also seemed like he didn't want to get too dep into the project, he has plenty of guitar amp repair business.

    Al, sorry about the amp.

    My advice would be to look for a local tech, I am sure there are many. I would look at a local high-fi shop. Some have repairmen. I used one at a place called Brooks Berdan (here in LA) once for the Audio Note.

    My amps seem ok (fingers crossed). I do however have one casualty, the HE90 gets static on the right side when i jiggle the wire going into the connector (amp side). I guess several people were wondering why it is folded in half entering the connector and were trying to fix it.
