I have the SRD-6SB (self biasing) version.From their description:Different from the low-impedance type conventional dynamic headphone driven directly by the amplifier output, STAX electrostatic earspeakers are high impedance type a... | |
| Mcintosh mc240 and headphones possible or not ? Paul,There is a website for Stax:www.stax.co.jpwhich has a history section that shows old products.That is the main thing, that these are older models. The new driver units seem to be small amplifiers themselves. I am not expert enough to know whi... | |
| Mcintosh mc240 and headphones possible or not ? I like to use my old Stax SR-Sigma's with my MC-40's. The older style driver unit hooks up to the amplifier speaker terminals rather than the pre-amp. | |
| Who else wants to keep their system secret? And then there is the embarrassment of public exposure... It's going to take more than 10 to 20 years to live this one down. | |
| Who else wants to keep their system secret? I haven't posted my system for a very simple reason that I suspect many who frequent these posts share. I have mostly scavenged used pieces when they seem to be an especially good bargain. I feel that for an audiophile to share useful information,... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? So many greats have been named already! I have never been able to choose "favorites", but I would like to see that two more names make it to this list: Harvey Mandel - I am lucky to have a vinyl recording of "Games Guitars Play"; and Gabor Szabo -... | |
| Help Do I have fake van den Hul Mainsstreams? To address the website confusion issue rather than whether the cable is the real one or the fake, it looks like the image on the left is not a photograph of the actual cable. It is a graphic illustration. The graphic artist doing the illustration ... | |
| Aside form the Human voice... French Horn (do you hear the fanfare?)! Combining a 4-1/2 octave range with incredible harmonic richness, a horn has a wonderful diversity of possible sounds. Brassy, lush, refined, romantic, stirring... What other instrument can migrate from the ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Typical?... probably not! My '78 Volkswagen van that I bought from my brother-in-law (original owner) for $2,000 in 1983 has dragged my gear around to more new set-ups than I would like to remember. If it was just a little bigger, maybe I could se... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? There are a couple of different lines from Dylan's "It's Alright Ma" I keep getting reminded of, but I didn't feel right about pulling the song apart so...Darkness at the break of noonShadows even the silver spoonThe handmade blade, the child's ba... | |
| Marantz 7 Questions I think the 7C is the tube preamp and the 7T is solid state. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Apogee Duetta Signatures for 15+ years. I have been upgrading everything else (well, even the Duettas if you count adding an active crossover and bi-amping) and they just keep sounding better and better. Even small changes are very noticeable. I s... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Elizabeth-I like your story, but... you may be confusing Apsaras with Asuras. Apsaras are more likely to be making the music that the Devas are appreciating. For power cords I understand that they prefer the Shunyata King Cobras, of course. | |
| JBL Paragon Speakers A legend still alive and kicking. I have heard them recently with a good SET setup. Extremely musical. I liked them better than the Altec's they were being compared with, unfortunately not my own. | |
| Where can I get small apogee speakers? If you do not find what you are looking for in an Apogee (the user website mentioned above is excellent), you might want to check out redrosemusic.com. Mark Levinson's new company makes a hybrid ribbon speaker. The R3 Baby Reference is a bookshelf... |
