The Monkey Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 It's finding the "one good one" that's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 No, it's having thousands of dollars invested in DACses preventing you from buying something else you want that's a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Your argument would be more convincing if you hadn't bought two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 But the second one, despite being broken, was so good that it magically turned into a pair of Soundlab speakers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypasswordis Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I need a shirt that says "Your iPod cost more than my DAC/Turntable" because clearly that is very impressive. Yeah don't sell your KGSS, it makes the DACses able to be listened to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 if he really liked his DACses, he would wire them up straight to his headphones. Monkey is letting himself go a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 No. It was killed in The Great Rationalization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well, they have the ES (high end) line(s?) and the R10 & Qualia (statement) lines. Don't know about currently, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faust3d Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Does Sony still have a super high end consumer business unit? Well they kinda do have the R line still in Japan and make stuff like this: [url=http://www.sony.jp/audio/products/SCD-DR1/index.html]SCD-DR1 | AV/Hi-Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Me thinks Dinny should just drop all his current dacses and buy something really expensive. ML 30.6 or Krell 64 springs to mind... Ohh and the Sony R1 is so good it is quite silly that CD was ever labeled as a "bad" format. Listen to the Meridian G08 next to it and it all becomes abundantly clear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiosceptic Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 What is the current thinking on buying Stax products from US retailers or through Japan based retailers like Price Japan? I'm interested in buying a pair of 4070's and see them for around $1750 from Price Japan. Elusive Disc will get me a US pair for $1950. Is the $200 difference worth it for the US warranty? I bought my SR-007's from Audiocubes and haven't had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 The odds of a Stax headphone breaking down are rather slim and if something were to break I'd send it to Japan rather then have Yama's butcher it. I've seen their handy work and it wasn't pretty. Might be a couple of isolated incidents but Stax in Japan does top notch repair work.
