Now you just need to buy the new SR-007Mk2.5...

Glad to hear it is a keeper.

That layout would make no sense at all since the output sockets are at the front and the inputs at the back. Why run wires back and forth just for the look? Ohh and I'm glad it worked.

Wrong value would be my guess then.

No burning parts is a good sign but did you test all the LED's prior to installing them?

FACT: Most of them are useless fanboi drivel

Happy birthday Greg!!!

The only thing needed to finish off a truly over the top amp... a solid titanium knob. It was either this or pay a retarded anodizing fee for a one off silver knob.

Good times!!! I also managed to lift Justin too high so his head hit the ceiling as I wasn't prepared for just how light he is...

Most excellent!!! Since the chassis is all black one has to have a bit of silver to make it look better.

I for one quickly gave up on the US Life on Mars. The UK version is far superior IMO.

Here is a quick snapshot I took before I packaged it all up again for storage. The heatsinks look great, beyond great even but the other panels are a bit flat. Also notice the small marks on each end of the panels which go right through the finish. Yeah, one of the Stax jacks is messed up but I'm too tired to take a picture of it.

Insulation is your friend with this stuff.

Yup. Not entirely sure why they used that instead of mylar since polyurethane's big selling point when used in grocery bags is that it will break down with time... The key here is really mass as the electrostatic force is so weak. To get the speed a modern model can do you need to either use a thinner membrane or use extreme tension and thicker material. The latter solution has many issues though as you kill the bass amongst other things. That would be the ET990 to compliment the real Beyer 'stat, the ET1000.

Absolutely. It provides a nice comparison point against the crap Meier, RSA and others are peddling at higher prices but to say it is superior to a M3 is just fucking nuts.

I'd spec the transformer at 100mA for some extra headroom but I like to overbuild...

You'd love it... if you are man enough...

Hehe...

Well technically I am in America right now. We are much more like Canada and the US though which is why we should say fuck off to the EU and look westward...

They do look pretty on TV...

The plan is to get stock housings if Stax has any left but failing that I will build upgraded clones in the same way a SR-007 is built.

Woot!!!!

People claiming it is ground braking is so idiotic it isn't even funny. The hype train is even fueled by the same idiots as are pushing the LCD-2. Just gotta love HF...

Ohhh that's not important, grandstanding by stupid communists which are fake eco freaks is what they do. They oppose all the hydro powerplants people want to build here to fuel our industry because they "pollute" so much. They even heckled and hounded an international expert which claimed it would be far better to build aluminum smelting plants here then in China because they are powered by green electricity.

I have no idea where to get mylar this thin in Europe but I got mine from the US. There is a thread on DIY headphones over on HF running now which has a link to the store. The stock headphone didn't have mylar to begin with but it was relatively thick. In that time 3-4um was the norm as thinner material wasn't available. As for curved stators, they are a stupid idea, even the inventor of curved panels has said so. Now staggered panels, that's a whole other thing and quite a good idea.
