so what do we have here stax 717 in a huge metal case now the weight has increased from 5 kg to 11 kg it seems like the case is made well, all the places for fastenings are made accurately the main thing is that it works

I tried to buy them but without success same story with Chinsettawong Omega or Orpheus or JF I was looking for them for several years and everyone I talked to didn't want to sell them https://www.head-case.org/forums/topic/21643-a-diy-shangri-la-headphone-for-hifi-xmen/ same story with any of these headphones they are simply impossible to buy anywhere

+1 007s user here also if anyone knows where to buy something similar - please let me know somehting like this

1200000 jpy+ is it worth it?

Reference Amplifier for Electrostatic --------->>>>>>>> what do you think? does it look good or bad? found this on the net today

i found this kgss-signal-diode-mod ->>>> also - and I found this - they advise trying different diodes... will try what else..? my main goal is - to get a sound similar to KGSSHV or KGSSHV Carbon - is it possible here - or am I asking too much from this? any advice or thoughts - is welcome for sure

hi spritzer thanks for your reply looks like yes, the only option is to simply either replace the transformers with others or just get a "direct drive" es amplifier today I bought an old KGSS for a very good price, I think this will be my solution for now

Hello everyone I recently bought a Stax SRD-7 with replaced transformers the essence of the problem is that the new transformers have a primary winding resistance of only 0.1 ohms (this is if we just measure it with a multimeter) - there are about 32 turns of thick wire, so their compatibility with amplifiers is very limited - amplifiers usually require at least 4 ohms. You will say that a simple solution to this is to simply add 4-8-16-32 ohm resistors in series with the primary winding. But. If i add at least 1 ohm - high frequencies begin to drop sharply, this is very audible in headphones. Is there any other way to put something instead of resistors so that this modified Stax SRD-7 can be safely connected to power amplifiers? I looked at solutions to this issue in KS M03, for example, there is a "maxim max97220a" for this - but this is a very cheap and poor sounding solution. I will be grateful for any ideas. The right decision would probably be to just throw out the Stax SRD-7 and buy a proper amp, but I want to give it a chance by using all the options.
