Sorry that you disliked my post. Those who know me know that I generally try not to upset anybody, so I apologize. I have friends who have built...
Paul Birkelund must not have done much of a Google search if he thinks this is a unique circuit. There are only so many ways to arrange two tubes...
There are a couple of pretty decent relatively inexpensive (i.e. less than $1000 if you DIY) electrostatic amp alternatives to the BHSE, Carbon,...
Actually, the issue with T1 not getting as loud as the Stax solid state amps is real, but it is due to the use of plate resistors in the output...
I loaned @AllanMarcus two modded Stax amps, one was a SRM-727 with global feedback mod, and the other was a refurbished SRM-T1 with constant...
Well, I don't want to get too much into the weeds on this. I assume that he charges for his time in building his amps, but doesn't consider that...
Maybe, maybe not. Lots of people listen at moderate levels and will never approach the limits of even the 300B (which, be it noted) are similar to...
I would disagree that the Shangri-La is an impressive piece of engineering. Engineering is about choices. Consider the output stage, which uses...
If anyone is interested, teardown of the Jade II amp and headphones on Head-Case. I have a pair of Stax SR-5 headphones which I bought used in the...
It's hard to resist saying that HFM's legendary quality control strikes again.
The late J. Gordon Holt, and Peter J. Walker. Started subscribing to Stereophile before I was old enough to shave. Nearly bought LS3/5a's on his...
If the drawing is anywhere close to accurate, the headphone jack looks incompatible with either Stax or Koss. That is not to say that one couldn't...
Fair points by both of you. I had thought that Koss still had a yearly discount period, but it appears I was wrong. BTW, what Allan listened to...
Not sure how good a deal this is considering that: 1) this doesn't have the portable case and battery pack 2) Koss periodically puts these on...
The Koss has a specified bias voltage of 600 volts, versus 580 volts for the Stax pro bias phones, and the E/90 supposedly puts out up to 2300...
