October 30, 201510 yr The thing that makes me angry is that attitude, n3rdling. Its what big companies have been doing for ages... Trying to patent things unclear (well not unclear to be honest but they wanna get advantage). They also did new things, I admit that. I have no idea how complex the things they did but, driver is not facing, but have like 180 degree angle, bore and the acustic way toward bore is angled weirdly, the enclosure is kinda like balanced armature. Also anyone dig into the word "electret" what used to describe something about that iem? I really wanna know if my theory is correct. Edited October 30, 201510 yr by Sechtdamon
October 31, 201510 yr As i know, even in baby Staxes, transducer faces directly to ear, am I right?There's that one big boxy one (whose nomenclature I can never remember) that has them face forward, like speakers...
October 31, 201510 yr There's that one big boxy one (whose nomenclature I can never remember) that has them face forward, like speakers...Are sigma's driver not even angled, like lambdas? Interesting... Well my point is, as you understand, Shure did something very different about positioning drivers into closure.
November 3, 201510 yr The whole patent paper reminds me of the big American audio companies in the 90's re-badging cheap players from Japan then claiming and marketing as if they made the whole thing from scratch, Wadia, Audio Alchemy etc. The patent system is a clusterfuck anyway, the whole Apple vs Samsung patent wars years ago shows exactly that and the patent system is nothing but a bogus broken framework.
October 31, 2025Oct 31 Who helps me finding a chinese? Had a chat today with the Staxmafia boss, he didn't do the names, but indicated that some time ago, a chinese was selling this modded set with stax plug... Does someone want to be a spy? Or if you do not wanna do the name, also some hint about getting to him would be appreciated? Thanks a lot 😁
November 1, 2025Nov 1 They are just floating around on the Chinese market, there is no one seller doing this AFAIK. The one I bought for myself and the one I gave to Kevin are not from the same seller and used different Stax plugs. Btw. they all come with 5 pin plugs but should never be plugged into Pro bias, 200V max bias for these.
