I thought I'd throw in that I've also noticed there are two variations for bowl pads.
The current ones are like the ones Tyll has pictured, but there are also older bowls that have slots cut around the hole like the flats. I'm not sure what effect this has on the sound (if any).
The second episode of TGUS was pretty good... and the latest one (third) was alright. However, I thought the first one was terrible. I almost fell asleep watching it, even with the whole Viper chase segment.
I think it was the best DVD/special that Clarkson or Top Gear has ever put out.
Top Gear Apocalypse came out this week... and that was just terrible. No Clarkson, boring as hell, and they were trying too hard to be funny.
If memory serves me right, I recall reading that the O2 MK1's had fragile drivers that tend to fail easily... which was then remedied by the not-as-good-sounding MK2?
Reason I ask is I'm tempted by this FS: Stax Omega II mk1 - Head-Fi.org Community
Does the SR-202 have the same problem?
I'm trying to decide between a used SR-202 kit right now, or splurging more for a used SR-404 kit. So which would you guys recommend... or neither?
Hey guys, I've got my mind set to get a set of Stax. Now I'll admit I haven't read through all of this thread, or the Stax thread at the other place... but just how bad is that upper midrange peak that the SR-404 has? Worse than the peak Grados have?
I don't think a pair with a serial #, from 2004-2006, would have pink drivers.
My pair is from 2001 (around the time of 9/11, it even came with the apology letter signed by John), with no serial #, and they had already started using white drivers. Kind of unlikely that Grado would have pink drivers left over 3-5 yrs later.
