Sure it can, just use some output transformers.

I finally plugged in the SR-007 and man those new Mullard's are just awful. Not only are they noisy as hell (snap, crackle and pop when I turn off the amp and sing when I turn it on) but I first thought the amp was broken, it was that bad. Swap in some XF2's and this is more like it...

i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
I've never had any noise issues with either the Alpha's or the TKD's, either the 2500 or 601 series.

I'll get on it right away. I should have some gold paint somewhere...

I have plenty of the Alpha pots so feel free to PM me . Same goes for anybody looking for a good 4-gang pot.

That's up next for me as well.

Excuse the crap quality but it does look good in the dark... Also, no nasty WPI sockets for me.

I'm just using the new production Mullard's Justin shipped with it. Too busy to do any tube rolling for now...

Yeah, I'd be in for some of that as well.

Speaking of the BHSE, I just got mine. The SR-Omega sounds nothing short of awesome...
-

It's not really fair to compare a Headamp BH to the BHSE since Justin didn't run the former at full power due to heat issues. If it had been run at full power then they should be much closer in sound.

Audeze LCD-2
External transformer solution would be the only way to do this but it will also kill any chance of the headphones catching on.

The Headcase Stax thread
In terms of industrial design the BHSE is miles ahead of the original BH, no doubt there. What I was referring to is the circuit and how it has been altered by swapping in a new CCS.

Check the amplifier section...

Audeze LCD-2
Ribbons are pretty much a dead short so they will need the mother of all CCS's to power them. Since this isn't practical then transformer interface is the best option. Now cramming said transformers into the headphones would be a very bad solution imo...

The Headcase Stax thread
The KGSS and the BH share a lot of similarities but they are also very different. The BH and BHSE don't differ all that much though.

Marc is funny when he's sarcastic...

Does solder go out of date?
So true of so many things...

Audeze LCD-2
Now that is a headphone I want to hear. If they don't fuck up the chassis design then it could be something spectacular...

Two of them actually, or the voltage divider doesn't work.

This is more what I was thinking about, except the audiophile version. Edit: They couldn't even spring for 1% resistors...

I guess it makes me the official SR-Omega repair center...

Yup, I heart TKD's. What I meant were those plugs you can add inline with the cables.
