spritzer Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 There is a solid piece of PVC film that should keep everything out. If that fails then the drivers are pretty much scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwik Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 So what you see thru the grill when the foam is removed is this PVC film. So the foam is just another level of protection. I see, and now know a little more about my phones. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complin Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Stax at CES http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/ces-2014-stax-move two new prototype portable headphone amp models designed to partner with the SR-002 portable electrostatic headphones. One amp is analog input only, the other provide digital inputs for USB and iOS devices. New customisable ear tips for the SR-002 prototype transistor electrostatic amp for home use slated to fill a slot above the current $450 SRM-252. The new unit (as yet unnamed) will have unbalanced analog, and USB and iOS digital inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinsettawong Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Those amps look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 That's actually pretty smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complin Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I would guess they will be made by edifier in China not Japan from one of Stax's normal suppliers. The prototype desktop amp looks rather odd with its meter on the front! Apparently has apple ipod and usb inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 99% chance that it is made in Japan. The Chinese are all too aware of the benefits of doing that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Scoot, there's some more info on that one in the video. I want that new portable... I <3 the 002s. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 That looks pretty cool. What is it? The amp slotted between the SRM-252S and the 323S. USB dac built it... Oddly it says SRM-212 on the back.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefQon Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 SRM-212 interesting. Maybe regulated PS like that other SRM model can't think of it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It has a DC plug on the back so it has to use a switcher to generate the HV. Whether it is regulated or not I have my doubts as Stax only regulate when they absolutely have to. In the SRM-300 they were running the output devices right up to the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nopants Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 That seems to be the current going price for the mk1s, I wish the $ differential between 007 and 009 would decrease a bit so I could try the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Considering nobody seems to want the mk2, sellers could certainly ask for more Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopants Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think for the performance and rarity it should be commanding >2k, but I'm not complaining. What I will complain about is the last pair I bought, SN70111. The imbalance between left and right is driving me insane, and I have very little interest in installing dual pots in every one of my future builds. Luckily the 323s has a balance control, which I only discovered recently. The illiquidity of this unit is pretty much why I didn't pick up the one you posted, Justin.

spritzer Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Given how good the Mk1's are then they should fetch far more than the current market value. Well that and nobody wanting the Mk2's unless they are the very early ones. Ouch on the channel imbalance, that's not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangler Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Damn it! I just bought a Mk2.5 for about the same price oh well, I still love 'em 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcx Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 well some part of this sale must be "fully valued" http://www.head-fi.org/t/604826/fs-bhse-stax-o2-mark-i-combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well if he's inside the EU then he's paid 20% VAT (well should have though there are ways...) which would account for some of the difference. Still it's good to buy from Justin as the stuff doesn't loose any value. I'll go off and pet my custom BHSE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopants Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 what's custom about your BHSE? I hope it comes with a spot to cook eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
