    Geez, I almost hate to ask this, but do folks feel that the Stax cans have a break-in period? And here's the pic I took today for the article introducing electrostatic measurement program.

    I'm really hoping a KGSS can power them well enough as I'm already considering getting a 4070 (and that amp) as it is.

Jesus H Christ!

What does the H stand for? Also waiting with bated breath for impressions.

So, when is the next meet? :)

Pics of head-case paraphernalia in front of stacks o' STAX plz.

I'll find out about possible delivery time as soon as I can and post that here.

I'll take a pic of all the boxes when I get them :)

Can you write something like "Headcase FTW" or "Fuck Headfi" on an index card in the picture, for when it gets posted around the web?

For sure >:D

That's fucking awesome, Andy! I'm going to have to talk to Kerry about kicking the T2 project into overdrive! ;)

I so want that picture with a stack of SR-009's!! :) Time to get back to work on the T2...

I bought 11 units. AHAHAHAHHA!

On a serious note, if any of the units has 17 on it as serial number, as in 117, or 17, or 1117, 11117, I would really REALLY like it.

But I doubt I'm that lucky.

just happened to be my next check...

Alex would really REALLY like you to send that check to him instead.

And I'll have to make do with my lowly BHSE B)

On a side note, it's pretty funny how some folks on the other side of the fence think that the SR-009 won't need anything more than a stock 727 since you don't have to turn the volume knob as high as with the O2... Somehow headphone amplification has become all about how loud you can play something.

If you want to have a chuckle, read this description of RSA's new amp:

I particularly like this quote " You can literary make your HE-6s sound like a speaker from a distant of 12 feet or more" :o

Yeah, I will suffer through with the BHse until the T2 is done. ;)

Cheers! I will be most curious on how these headphones will scale with different amps since the design is supposed to be significantly more efficient than the SR-007.

I think he was being sarcastic, given your post on the top of this page?

hmm...... the date on the check is a little suspicious, don't you think so Justin? ;-)

.

For sure >:D

Holy crap, looks like STAX must have really cranked a lot - relatively - for its first production run.

Cheers! I will be most curious on how these headphones will scale with different amps since the design is supposed to be significantly more efficient than the SR-007.

I'll be trying them out of the SRM-323 (hopefully it will be OK) until by BHSE arrives.
