Holy Crap! The New Stax Omega Looks fierce! (Stax SR-009)

Looks like ED will be getting some units tomorrow but I do not know how many yet. They are supposed to call me.

great to hear that the 8/23 date was not just another mirage - here's hoping they get our whole set in!

    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.

Wow can't believe they are actually shipping again! Seems like forever ago that we plonked down our hard earned cash on these babies!

Surprise, surprise, no package and no word from Yama's (ED is trying to reach them). I'll just wait until they have them in hand to say anything as to not arouse excitement.

To be honest, I prefer the hype that eventually fizzles into disappointment - it helps maintain the illusion that something is actually happening with these cans

If the shipment is less than the full complement, I am happy to wait for my set.

Yama's is making a really determined move up the order on The Big List of Things That Fucking Suck.

I think that the presence of a suitable Gilmore amp will be critical in deciding whether or not these are disappointing or not.

Interesting, they changed the 'expected on' date at ED from 9/2 to 9/1.

Five sets of the twelve ordered are being shipped to me today; don't know when more are coming but I would guess it would not take too long since they are shipping now. How do you guys think we should decide who gets them? I could do a random pull from a hat?

Could one of those go to Justin (W)? So he can bring it to RMAF, that is. ;)

I got in at the last minute, so I don't mind getting mine last. But on the other hand, I'm eager to get some nice waterfall plots of them. rolleyes.gif But as you said, the rest are probably coming in sooner than later.

Hm, usually I would be okay with waiting for the next batch. However, these are my last two weeks of summer before school starts and assuming that I will be obsessed over these (since I haven't had headphones for about 5 months now.. and even if I did have headphones, these would still probably mesmerize me) - I'd prefer them early to avoid getting these in right before exams rolleyes.gif . Of course, if the others are also in a rush... the traditional name pulling from a name sounds fair laugh.png .

I'll wait for the next batch. I need my BHSE or even the KGSSHV boards first before even being able to do anything other than look at them :P

Did a random draw using an online tool, with everyone included except monsieurguzel. This seems the most fair.

Here are the results:

spritzer

voltron

ephemeral hope

screaming oranges

blubliss

So, the first five go to these people. If you want to give up your spot, let me know.

Tracking info says they should get to me next Thursday. Send me a pm with shipping instructions or tell me if you want to pick them up here.

Nice! I don't think the rest of us will be waiting that long anyway. Enjoy guys :)

Andy, we want an impression of the 009 on the T2. STAT! :D:D

Hey Andy, after all that you've done for us, I would sure hope that you get to keep one of the first sets that arrive ;)

What he said :P

I will tear them apart and post pics to the best of my ability. :)
