Be prepared for the sound and smell of awesome!!

Well, then you are fucked. You'll end up like me demanding more power then even the BHSE can give...

Think of it this way, if you've never heard the better amps then you don't know what you are missing.

There are a lot of Stax amps for sale over there now... \

The T1W is identical to the other T1 amps except for the extra switching involved with a passive preamp. I do prefer the older T1 over all but the difference is minimal at best.

Certainly is. I would always have to pay the 3.5% fee even when I had money in the account but now it's just a few cents.

Just FYI, if you send the money as a personal payment then the sender has the option of paying the fee directly.

Better yet, drop Craig a line.

I've already had Craig check on it for me couple of months back and they were having some supply issues which might have been cleared up now. I do know that the Limited pads are a part of the spare part lineup...

I'm sorry Al but that's what you get for playing sports and not listening to the WES/posting impressions. Get better soon.

They are practically bullet proof so great for anybody buying from them.

As it happens I have a huge pile of baking forms that will never be used...

Sounds like a plan! If he needs any parts then he just has to ask... DEW EEETTTT!!!!

It's been quite a while. I'm thinking about building a few with very high end transformers and sell, just for kicks.

The output stage in the prototype was supposed to be DC coupled i.e. tubes to the headphones with nothing in between. They had issues with that so could have reverted back to the basic design of that circuit, i.e. the 2uf caps.

There are always Rudistor and RSA but overpriced and crap "engineering" springs to mind... This is being made to custom order in Japan and I know there are talks about offering a 117v/230v version. Nothing set in stone yet though. If it were the speakers in the cellphones which were the problem then it might be but that's clearly not the case. A cellphone is a powerful transmitter and it can't be good to have it next to the head all day. SR-007/313 as an entry level setup FTW!!!

Better caps matter but I'd rather spend the money on better topology, PSU etc. especially at these prices. What's strange is that the WES wasn't supposed to have output caps...

How about a community effort, build a BH for Doug?

So... it's about time to sell your body on the streets for some MOAR DACS??

That's a lot of heat in more ways then one.

The old Blue Hawaii sounded simply sublime with that set.

That's the worst of the lot IMO, it's just bland which strange given how well the same drivers perform in a Lambda chassis. I believe the had a KGSS, big black thing with no tubes? Btw. it's O2 as in Omega2...

This one seems to have only one primary on the transformer i.e. the input voltage can't be changed like on the old one. \

Happy Birthday!!

What Sigma did you listen to and off what amp? The Sigma 404 isn't like the other ones and you need a serious amp to drive them, even the normal bias unit needs a BH. I almost entirely listen to rock, metal etc.
