I don't have a ton of experience with them off lesser amps, but I've only ever been impressed with the stax with the KGSS and BH. I admit to a distinct lack of experience tho, since I don't want to tempt myself.
The problem with the O2 is it needs a KGSS or blue hawaii to be superior to a ps1. And even then, the ps1 is still better at some things.
The HP1000s never did anything for me.
Ken, can you tell how a socket is wired with an amp in front of you, but the amp closed up? I can't. I'd trust Craig before I'd trust an assertion from someone I don't know. Simple as that.
Yes, but Craig and Kevin have track records. Kevin's an ass, but he knows his shit. Yes, he sometimes makes mistakes. And well, Craig is honest to a fault, and has said that he runs the tubes at lower power for heat reasons.
