They may take down manufacturing costs moving production to China, but unless they train their Chinese employees to be extremely careful and cautious, the affair of drivers getting dust may become a trademark. If this is true, I wouldn't buy a TOL Stax product at current prices until proved they're every bit as good quality as the current ones. Maybe in 4- 5 years hahaha.

Congrats Al. I was a bit jealous for your booze purchases, but after those pics I'm officially and intensely jealous Enjoy that, I'm sure the music is beautiful beautiful

DSOTM has suffered several remasters and some of them are certainly on the bright side of the sun. Maybe it's the source and recording to blame, not the amp-cans combo.

If that's true I hope they won't change a single bit of the company goals and quality standards. Otherwise Stax 009 will be a swan song

That's fantastic Best wishes aunt Shelly

Happy B-Day!

Give up any hopes, they belong to the Harman Group, so marketing and sales are way more important than absolute (even relative) sound quality.

IMHO it's pretty absolute. The B22 is a control machine which does nothing to give bass the type of "blossom" and development the HD800 require to sound full. Plus it does nothing to hide recording mistakes and brightness, which the HD800 will portray merciless. With the Beta the HD800 fall into the analytic side of things, which is just "meh", but well, re-thinking the initial statement, it's relative to the listener's taste and preferences, as usual

Looks interesting. I'd still need something more silent I'm afraid. I'm resisting to get an iMac since last spring... I should wait for the next generation

Impressive case, I like it. How noisy are the PS and the exhaust fan on top? Has it fans for the HDD too?

Maybe not in perfect English, but in decent Engrish and Spanish. I also can say cannula and urethra, so beware Nah, I won't ship anything heavier than about 10lbs. That gives for a head and little else.

Beta22 + LCD-2 = Good Beta22 + HD800 = meh Luxman P1 + LCD2 = meh-bah-not good Luxman P1 + HD800 = Gooood

Better yet I'm not an urologist

It drives them great, Dinny. Of all the amps I've got here, it is the one that gives best performance. On the P1... not of my liking.
