In this case, Can I make use of the output of the GRLV (+15/-15V) to power up two LED for front panel indication? Kevin already laid out an indicator LED and its current setting resistors on the PCB. Going by memory, it's the two 2K resistors and the LED at the very front edge of the GR LV PCB. The resistor values may need to be adjusted based on the regulated output voltage and choice of LED.

TMoney Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I finally had a chance to hear the carbon last night with this lineup of stat phones. Bravo, Kevin, Birgir and co. I thought it sounded fantastic. Also, really liked those SR-X mk 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is definitely on the list for this week-end, when rack membership and arrangement should be more stable. You can blame Birgir for almost every headphone in the second picture, and of course for the Carbon CC in the first (which is replacing both a BHSE and a KGST). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purk Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) @TMoney Nice! How did your ECP amps did against a Stax system with KGSSHV Carbon on board? Great looking amp! Edited August 18, 2016 by purk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuk228 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 lol I like your illustration! Yes it really means nothing...just want to make it a bit sophisticated. Anyway I changed to single Led to indicate power on only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 He's even worse than me in that regard so it is all good. The SR-X Mk3 Pro's are awesome though, truly one of the best headphones Stax have ever made. One of my goals now is to try and copy that design and improve it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the surprise of @rdreyer's little menagerie. Beautifully clear and transparent in the treble and mids. I thought it lacked in the bass, but prehaps that is due to it being earpad headphone and not getting any kind of a seal rather than being circumaural? 17 hours ago, purk said: @TMoney Nice!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, nothing sounds better than a good electrostatic setup. @rdreyer's is just wonderful to listen to. 18 hours ago, rdreyer said: Yeah, that is definitely on the list for this week-end, when rack membership and arrangement should be more stable.

At least 12 years old too, since it predates our move to our current abode. It's my favorite headphone stand, as it was obviously manufactured with the SR-X Mk3 in mind. 1 hour ago, TMoney said: A brilliant little headphone, I agree!

It's probably caused by the stretched headband, to accommodate my franken-head, which caused a loose fit on yours. 1 hour ago, TMoney said: I've said it before and I'll say it again, nothing sounds better than a good electrostatic setup. @rdreyer's is just wonderful to listen to.

There are another member who designed an acrylic box himself for the Stax SR-009, exquisite btw, but he puts the 009 inside the box ... you on the other hand, have it outside ...

mypasswordis Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Pre-bankruptcy Staxen >>>>> everything else Still unsure about HE60 as pabbi1's HE60 out of that Cavalli amp (forget what it's called) sounded worse than ipod earbuds out of a dumpster, but maybe that's because he listens to everything over 9000 dB and broke them. I bought a Gamma Pro awhile back to use as a spare in case my SR-X Pro drivers die but they ended up sounding good, too, so now I need to buy another one.

It's a Brita water filtering pitcher. Unfortunately, that model doesn't seem to be able available any longer, which is a real shame for SR-X Mk3 owners.
