I'm looking for an adapter to use for a while with the speaker amp and I guess the SRD-7 should be the best option or any one will do ?

yeah that.

I would be interested in the group buy too

You can count with me. As for others folks I probably could get some of the speaker scene guys interested do you need any form of feedback lets say like ebay or something ?

So the europe program won't happen ?

congratz

I mean the O2 was obviously technically better but I wouldn't mind having both for different approaches with some tracks.

I did an audition a few hours ago comparing the O2 and the 507 and I liked both in the same quantity but different sound presentations, the O2 were plan new though without any breakin. The O2 with some hours on it would change that much ?

I just came from the stax dealer and tried the 507 with the SRM-600/limited edition, honestly I didn't spot any evident difference. Tried with the 007 too, there were some differences but the SRM-600 would work just fine and save you some dollars.

I may be on the verge to make a whole on my wallet and get an O2. How much are they going for in the used market or what would be decent deal now with the 009 ?

You didn't get good results using others ? Like I said when I listened to it the sound was exactly the same as the speakers and he didn't measure with my ears.When I would take the headphones off the speakers would start playing so it was easy to compare and I didn't notice any apparent difference.

Aren't headphones for fun ? I think if this is well used could be a bargain. Lets imagine I get to record in a studio with 100$k speakers and perfect acoustics and then bring it home and reproduce 99% of it ? Or save your favorite setup from home and bring it to where ever you go or night listening. I think this is a thing you have to hear with your own ears. Oh and they are available without the headphones too. It comes with some default speaker/room acoustics saved but I think you can have them to provide you some special places if you pay. And if it can be saved on a sdcard then we all could share our recordings even tough it wouldn't be setup to our own hearing but when I listened on the store wasn't and sounded exactly like the speakers.

So I went with a friend see some speakers at the Hi.fi store and while doing our listening session the owner was always talking about this simulator device that he got but we continued to say "yeah yeah lets hear the speakers". At the end he convinced us to have a go and I could see how all smiley he was. I put the stax 202 on the ears and I keep waiting for him to turn off the speakers and boot the headphones but when I take off the headphones I realized the speakers weren't playing and that was when my jaw dropped The sound was in fact coming from the headphones, it sounded exactly like the speaker but better, you know with stax speed detail etc.. so he best of both worlds. The store was already closing so I only listened to one song but that was impressive to say the least. From what he explained he had to put the small ear.microfone on his hears while playing music and the device saves the room acoustics according to each individual ears. You could have a tracking device on the headphone too if you want to turn the head and have the speakers position locked just like in real world. http://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-45-page-2 http://smyth-researc...technology.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-20010977-47.html?tag=mncol;txt I believe this thing have been on some of the headphone meetings, any of you gave it a go ?

+1 for Europe program or the Iberian peninsula eh. Shipping inside europe isn't that much I guess it kinda compares with US/Canada ?

New macbook pro benchmarks Thunderbolt demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kidmWiqKzqY Nice improvement, now that my toshiba died( no more plastic shit) I'm going to buy my first macbook but still not sure if the air or the 13' pro.

Same boat here.

I believe its going for 450$ and the b stock 350$.

All I need is an IDE to program.

7 hours is cool. I have been looking for a 13' laptop just for web and work and this is interesting. Strange I saw on the website that this is a pilot.. You can install new apps right, beside the google ones ? And how much did it cost you. Edit:Nvm I just saw that this is basically a web surf laptop.

Battery life Mr Brent?

There was a video here somewhere with them at ces explaining it. edit:

Stax Mafia is no myth ?

I'm in to, sharing my hippie tastes

That seems like a decent price, the one I was looking at is asking 900€ being fully restored. At this price range I think I'm letting this one go and play safe with newer speakers, maybe the new RX line from Monitor Audio.

So technicalitys apart they are well worth the money ?
