Vacuum tube amplified headphones...

....is an item that personally I've no real interest in, nor am I in any way linked to or have any potential to make any financial gain upon....nor do I know any of those involved with them....

But, in the interest of those would might find such an item of interest:

Kickstart This...

When a pair hits your pate, let me know if it's a hit *ow*...or a miss *(f/m voice) "What?..."*

I get notifications on K/S projects, and this is the 1st one I've seen of this nature.
If I see anything of an 'phile nature, I'll post it 'for your consideration'...just because. ;)

Have a great weekend, J

I have a wonderful Stax pair including tube amp.  Bought in mid-90s for flat living, very costly I recall.  I haven't listened for at least 10 years, but I should - the sound was about the clearest and cleanest I've ever heard and they beat most speakers.

Point well made.  One thing stopping me is I sold the B&W 801s I had then and now have Martin Logan CLX Anniversaries that also sound detailed clean and clear and perhaps just a little headphone like (remembering the Stax are electrostatics as well).

But you're right, I should get the Stax out again and try them against the MLs.
