screaming oranges Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ... and ATH ESW10. Alex - what voltage is your Stax 007Ta at now? (100 or 220) If 100V, I have a 115 x 100 Volt converter that I can bring over for you. It is high power capacity, and wouldn't break a sweat supplying the 7T. I'll refrain from bringing my own ESW10 then. The less I have to carry, the better. As for the amp, it is 100V, so it works out. Thanks! AS FOR FOOD: I don't know what is planned? Are we all going out to eat, ordering? The Super Target near where I live sells Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes. Damn good cheesecake... hint hint. RAFFY: what happened to your extreme? I happen to have two: the platinum and the standard. I haven't used the standard Extreme because I tried to remove the hex screws and they got stuck and I just gave up on the thing, decided to keep it for spare parts in case the Platinum needs fixing sometime.

agile_one Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ... Also, I'd appreciate it if anyone with ANY amp that can drive an O2 takes it, since I want to hear options. On same topic, don't know if any of you can DIY, and I'd appreciate help in rewiring a STAX 007ta amp to US voltage (I will pay for services of course). Like Mike said, flecom is your man, should he be in the mood to fire up his iron. btw, I assume you've seen this Head-Fi thread specifying changes needed? Need Help Converting STAX SRM-007tA from 100V to 117V - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio Looks simple enough that anyone with an iron and multi meter could do.

One of the resistors blew and would supply power to the tubes. The trafo still gets some juice as I can still hear it humming lightly. At least for now, the trafo is not busted. Your extreme is still working right, it's just the hex screws that are busted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, it is still functional. I just wanted to open it because there is something that fell inside and is rattling at the bottom. I wanted to remove it but gave up on the hex screws from hell. The only option is to drill the screws out now, but I just never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you, I'd take a broken hex screw over a broken resistor anyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agile_one Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 not scary for me ... it's Alex's amp. let's wait till after dark to do it, so we can see the sparks fly when it gets turned on after your mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Maybe Mike just needs some encouragement: If Mike succeeds, I will definitely sell him the Aero DAC plus $50 discount, if not, he needs to replace my amp/have it fixed. ...wait, this might be a bad idea.

NightWoundsTime Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm afraid to bring my MPX3, what with the recent rash of dead SP amps. Oh well, it's made it this long, one more trip won't kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I don't know what I'll be bringing, but I'm going to try and get whatever it is to Mike's on Thurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 might be able to bring 2 power amps + 3 pre amps if you interested mike. and some abs speakers. rather not bring the speakers, annoying to move as they are rather bulky.

If it's not a BHSE, get a refund. might be able to bring 2 power amps + 3 pre amps if you interested mike. and some abs speakers. rather not bring the speakers, annoying to move as they are rather bulky. I wouldn't bother. I'm sure it will be more headphone listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming oranges Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I wouldn't mind listening to some speakers. Is it a must to have pre-amps for a speaker rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
