IMO it's not the same category at all. Logitech already had a prestige of making decent products. What prestige has Edifier if any? Secondly, the squeezebox isn't a product that compares in the slightest to the craftsmanship that making a pair of 009 or 007 requires. A squeezbox is a box full of electronics like many of other thousands made anywhere in the planet. Anyway, time will tell, but I'm quite afraid Stax headphones won't have the same quality in a couple of years. Of course it will be more profitable, which is what leads these type of deals.

blah blah blah blah, were you expecting this guy to say that they will screw up Stax by moving production to China, then using the brand to name crappy dynamic cans made by Edifier? I'll believe any of that when I see any Stax electrostatic headphone made in 3-5 years still wearing a "made in Japan" sticker and sounding every bit as good as current units.

I'd try to bend it back straight, but I'm afraid it will break. If it does, then get a new stylus, I guess you can get a new one, but if it's pricey and costs close to a whole new cart, maybe getting the whole thing is a better idea. The Goldring 1042 is a decent sounding MM cart which should sound quite similar to the Reca.

Thanks for the Harmon explanation. I guess it's like base and bass. These things are way less obvious when you just read about them and don't hear the words pronounced. For many of them my brain has a "guess sound" but not more.

Enjoyable reading, thanks for spamming Tyll BTW it's Harman group owning AKG, not Harmon, but I've seen this a lot written like Harmon, is there a reason? Perhaps trying to make it a mix of Harman - Kardon? Being it an American company I bet there's a reason for this which I'm missing not living there. Anyway, thanks again, I wish this is for good so young kids can get good sounding cans, and bad sounding headphones manufacturers start making them sounding good.

Nope, cynic will be AVguy when starts producing a commercial amp and selling it for a profit

History loves repeating itself

Nice. The kid is my favorite.

Good to know, I thought that opening an iMac or Macbook you were voiding the warranty. I guess this is the same for Apple worldwide. I haven't seen the option to increase RAM or adding a HDD into an iMac at the Spanish store for refurbished units. Not even purchasing the Applecare plan. But the savings seem substantial.

Sounds really good. Most refurbished iMacs I've seen over here are just 4Gb RAM and if SSD, won't include a HDD too. Aren't you voiding the warranty by opening it and adding more RAM?

Yeah, that stand is like "Christ on a cross with two guns"

What the hell is Physics of Business?

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!

Happy Birthday!!!
